A small, black wasp superficially resembling Lindenius species, but with pronounced hairy eyes.
Despite this being a widespread species, there is little published on its ecology and ethology.
The rarest of our four Nysson species, with British populations seemingly using a different host to those in Fennoscandia. It is similarly threatened in Germany.
A species of Nysson that apparently has two hosts in this country and is sometimes easier to locate than its hosts.
