Some authors place this species in the synonymy of Platynocheilus cuprifrons. I have no data on this issue and provisionally retain this taxon as a bona species.


Identification

Biology
Parasitizes in dipterans of the genus Agromyza on Clematis species (Clematis recta and Clematis vitalba). There is also an unconfirmed (and rather doubtful) record of parasitizing in coleopterans of the family Scolytidae.

Distribution
Recorded from Germany, Austria and Hungary.
