Overview

Nordlanderia species are parasitoids of leafmining Agromyzidae. Quinlan (1986) placed three species in this genus when he described it. Another two species were subsequently described by Miller (1989); however, these species were not considered to belong to this genus by Buffington (2004).

Identification

Nordlanderia has been included in a key to Afrotropical genera by Quinlan (1986). There is a need for a comprehensive, modern treatment of eucoiline genera.
