Review (by Malcolm Storey)

Revision of Microgaster (including what is now Hygroplitis).

Still useful, although additional species added by Shaw (2004 and 2012) need to be considered.

Errata, Corrigenda & Comments

4 spp have been described in Britain since Nixon (mostly by Mark Shaw), although apparently a few more await description and the *laeviscuta*-(*globata*)-*hospes* complex is still poorly understood.

Apparently Papp’s two papers are strongly based on Nixon and don’t add very much from our viewpoint.
