Sycophila pistacina (Rondani), which was previously synonymized with Sycophila biguttata (Swederus), is revalidated. Morphological, morphometric and molecular data confirm its status as a separate species. Diagnostic characters are provided for distinguishing it from S. biguttata. The nomenclature of the S. biguttata complex is updated.
Keywords: Eurytomidae, Sycophila, Sycophila biguttata, S. pistacina, S. iracemae, status revised, parasitoid, morphometrics, molecular phylogeny, COI, ITS2
