The types of 780 species have been examined ; 24 of Proctotrupidae, 76 of Ceraphronidae, 

 256 of Diapriidae, 341 of Scelionidae and 84 of Platygasteridae. This paper is not merely a list 

 of types but includes various nomenclatorial changes, new combinations, much synonymy, 

 various new names and the selection of lectotypes. 



PREFACE 



The types of numerous Proctotrupoid-species are scattered all over the world in 

 various museums, institutions and, last but not least, also in private collections. 

 The types of European species, in particular, are preserved in various places. This 

 is, of course, a considerable disadvantage and an obstacle to taxonomic research.
