Abstract

The Swedish species of Enicospilus are reviewed. Three species are described from Swedish material; Enicospilus cederbergi sp. nov., Enicospilus intermedius sp. nov. and Enicospilus ryrholmi sp. nov. Four species: Enicospilus cerebrator Aubert, 1966, Enicospilus combustus (Gravenhorst, 1829), Enicospilus merdarius (Gravenhorst, 1829) and Enicospilus myricae Broad & Shaw, 2016, are reported from Sweden for the first time. An illustrated key to the Swedish species of Enicospilus is provided. Validity of the new species is supported by DNA barcoding.
