PTEROMALIDAE OF N.W. EUROPE 199 



Seladerma parviclava (Thomson) comb. n. 



Lamprotatus parviclava Thomson, 1876a : 230, $ (?nec^). 

 Telepsogos parviclava (Thomson), Delucchi, 1955 : 35, 44-45- 



Type material. Syntypes on 19 pins. Lectotype, a female labelled " Hbg " 

 [Halsingborg] and " parviclava Ths " ; this is probably the specimen figured by 

 Delucchi (1955 : figs. 52-54). The male described by Thomson may not belong to 

 this species, according to Delucchi (1955 : 45). In my key to males (q.v.) I have 

 included one which may belong to parviclava. 



Britain, Sweden, uncommon. New record : England, Lincolnshire, Coningsby, 

 1 $, 27.vii.1951 {Graham). 



Biology. Unknown. Imagines in July. 



Seladerma icelos (Walker) comb. n. 



Lamprotatus Icelos Walker, 1844a : 337, <J. 



Type material. Syntypes, 2 <$. LECTOTYPE, Type Hym. 5. 800&, with a 

 Waterhouse label. 



Norway (Alten) ; only the type specimens known. 



Biology. Unknown. 



The type male of icelos resembles that of aeneum (Walker), particularly in its 

 squat thorax and rather flattened mesoscutum ; but it has a longer malar space 

 (malar space 11, length of eye 30), rather longer stigma, and slightly more strongly 

 expanded antennal scape, which has its distal boss extending nearly half-way down. 

 Probably therefore it is a distinct species. 



Seladerma aeneum (Walker) comb. n. 



Miscogaster aenea Walker, 1833 : 461, S ?• 

 Miscogaster nitidipes Walker, 1833 : 462, $, syn. n. 



Type material. Miscogaster aenea Walker. Syntypes, 3 $, 1 <$. LECTOTYPE, 

 a female with a Waterhouse label, another " Lamprotatus aeneus ", and one in C. 

 Ferriere's handwriting " Type CF ". 



Miscogaster nitidipes Walker. One male, LECTOTYPE, bearing a Waterhouse 

 label. 



Britain, rather uncommon. 



Biology. Reared in England from cocoons of Stigmella sp. (regiella (H.-S.) or 

 pygmaeella (Haw.) ; of Stigmella centifoliella (Zett.) or anomalella (Goeze) ; of 

 Stigmella atricapitella (Haw.) or nificapitella (Haw.) (Lep., Stigmellidae) ; all reared 

 (E. G. R. Waters), material in Hope Dept., University Museum, Oxford. These 

 reared specimens emerged in February and March, but under natural conditions 

 would certainly have emerged later. I have captured specimens in the field in 

 August and September.
