Type material (all Walker lectotypes bear Waterhouse labels unless otherwise 

 stated). 



Pteromalus dubius Nees. One female in coll. Westwood, ex coll. Nees, lacking the 

 gaster ; now designated LECTOTYPE. It is pinned and bears a small pink label 

 with the figure " 8 " ; a label in Nees' handwriting " D. 17. dubia m. a $ " ; 

 one in Westwood's handwriting " Pteromalus dubius Es. 2. 99. E Mus. Esenb.". 

 The identity of dubius was communicated to Dr. Boucek, who published the fact 

 (1961). 



Pteromalus nigroaeneus Walker. Syntypes, 2 $. LECTOTYPE, the second 

 specimen. 



Pteromalus signatus Walker. No specimen stood under this name, but one 

 female (LECTOTYPE) was located in the series of Eutelus signatus ; it bears a 

 Waterhouse label " Pteromalus signatus ". Walker described only the male of 

 Eutelus signatus ; evidently the female lectotype of Pteromalus signatus had been 

 misplaced with the male syntypes of Eutelus signatus when he transferred the 

 latter species to Pteromalus (1846 : 39) owing to their having the same trivial name. 



Pteromalus orbiculatus Walker. One <J, two $ (but <$ not described). LECTO- 

 TYPE, the second female specimen. 



Pteromalus caligatus Walker, 1836. No specimens under this name. The seventh 

 specimen standing under Pteromalus subniger Walker, a female, agrees well with 

 the description of caligatus and is designated LECTOTYPE. Walker (1846 : 42) 

 placed caligatus as a " var." of subniger, for which reason I sought the type of 

 caligatus under that same. 



Pteromalus conterminus Walker. Syntypes, 2 $. LECTOTYPE, the first 

 specimen.
