SUMMARY
Lissonata digestor is either a rare ichneumon wasp in the UK or more likely under-recorded. The distribiution map for the UK on National Biodiveristy Network shows a single record from South Uist for a specimen collected in 2012 which is now in the collections of the Natural History Museum. However, it is not a first record for Britain.
It parasitises the frosted orange moth (Gortyna flavago), a species which has not yet been recorded in the Outer Hebrides.
