Aphidius urticae s.str. host-associated lineages from Microlophium carnosum (Buckton), Amphorophora rubi (Kaltenbach), Macrosiphum funestum (Macchiati) and Aulacorthum vaccinii HRL were tested. Barcoding region of the mitochodrial cytochrome oxidase subnunit I gene were used to analyse population differences and elucidate phylogenetic relationships between the separated taxa.The respective results confirmed the existence of clearly separated lineages within the A.urticae s.str., which correspond to A. rubi, A. silvaticus and A. urticae and their host associations.The species were re-described and keyed.
