Abstract
An observed and photographed instance of apparent oviposition by the euphorine braconid into an adult female of the earwig is reported from Saxony, Germany. If verified by future work this would be the first host known for the genus and the first known ichneumonoid primary parasitoid of Dermaptera. This preliminary publication aims to enable others to seek the necessary confirmation.
