Besides the colour deviation indicated for the two Mirax species in Europe no further morphological differences are to be established between the dark or black(ish) and the light or reddish yellow forms. At present it can be stated that there are two colour forms within M. rufilabris and supposedly within M. dryochares in Europe even in the case of one bred sample. The genetical relations as well as the taxonomical value and the zoogeographical distribution of the two forms are rather obscure and further investigations are needed in this respect. b) Host list of Mirax dryochares Marshall Up to now only a single host datum was published as "

Nepticula sp. " (Shenefelt 1973: 677* for this species. Consequently all host data enumerated subsequently are new to science: Lep.
