Background: The parasitic wasp genus Foerster, 1863, belongs to the large subfamily Alysiinae Leach, 1815 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and contains solitary or gregarious endoparasitoids of larvae of cyclorrhaphous Diptera living in decaying organic matter.
New Information: A new species, sp. n. (Braconidae, Alysiinae, Alysiini), from a city park in the centre of Amsterdam (Vondelpark) is described and illustrated. The species was discovered on a so-called taxon expedition, in which experts and citizen scientists collaborate on taxonomic projects. The finding highlights the fact that new animal species can still be discovered today, even in the busiest park of the capital of one of the best studied European countries.

Article Synopsis
- - An annotated checklist details 426 European Dacnusini species and 16 species from the Dapsilarthra genus group within the Alysiini (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Alysiinae), including synonymy and classifications.
- - The checklist presents insights like intrageneric relationships, references to species in past major revisions, host range hypotheses based on rearing evidence, and DNA barcode availability for some species.
- - A new synonym, Chorebus luzulae Griffiths syn. nov., is established under Chorebus aphantus Marshall, while the classification of the genus Mesocrina and the inclusion of Grandia and Lodbrokia in Dacnusini remains unclear.

Dacnusini is a species-rich tribe in the subfamily Alysiinae, with most species exclusively serving as parasitoids of leaf-mining Diptera (Agromyzidae). The number of genera discovered in China remains limited, which is apparently insufficient considering the global diversity of species and genera within this tribe, particularly given the vast and ecologically diverse landscapes of China. In the present study, three new record genera, Tobias, Foerster, and Nixon, were documented for the first time in China.

Background: Alysiinae Leach is a species-rich subfamily in Braconidae, of which several species play an important role in biological control. The monotypic genus Bhat, 1980 was discovered in Tibet and Yunnan provinces for the first time, representing the first record of the genus Bhat, 1980 (Braconidae, Alysiinae) in China.
New Information: The rare genus Bhat, 1980 (Braconidae, Alysiinae) and its only known species, Bhat, 1980, are newly recorded from China.
