Preliminary distribution map of Ophion luteus in Britain and Ireland (Northern Isles displaced southwards), based on 475 occurrence records held in the database of the Nocturnal Ichneumonoidea Recording Scheme; note that many specimens in BMNH and NMS have not yet been databased and this map is presented only to give an impression of the range of the species, bearing in mind bias in coverage and omissions. Map plotted using DMAP, developed by Alan Morton (www.dmap.org).
