PTEROMALIDAE OF N.W. EUROPE 489 



species which have since been removed to Eupteromalus ; his section A corresponds 

 to Pteromaliis as restricted in the present work. However, the genus Habrocytus 

 is extremely close to Pteromaliis, and it is a matter of opinion whether the two 

 should be united or not. Because of the difficulty in deciding whether some species 

 belong to Pteromaliis or Habrocytus without the inconvenience of looking at the 

 mandibles, I have included the species of both in a single key (see under Habrocytus).

Type material. Ichneumon puparum Linnaeus. There are 10 specimens in the 

 Linnean collection (Linnean Society, London). They are mounted on two large 

 cards, on each of which is written " In puppa Urticana "; one card bears 6 <$<$ and 

 a pupal skin, the other 4 <j>$, all belonging to the species currently known as Ptero- 

 malus puparum. I designate as LECTOTYPE the uppermost § (that nearest the 

 word " Urticana " on the second card. Linnaeus (1758 : 567) cited DeGeer (" De 

 Geer ins. 1. t.30. f.18 ") which suggested to me the possibility that syntypes might 

 also have been in DeGeer's collection. In 1959 I examined that collection in 

 Stockholm ; in Cabinet 36, drawer 5, 1 found a large square card on which numerous 

 males and females of the species commonly known as Pteromalus puparum were 

 mounted. The card bears a label in DeGeer's handwriting " I. verd dore des 

 crisalides I. puparum L. [? T.3] 883 ". I consider these also as syntypes. 



Pteromalus latifrons Walker. One $, LECTOTYPE, Waterhouse label ; it is a 

 small specimen of puparum. 



Pteromalus cephalotes Walker. Syntypes, 2 $. LECTOTYPE, one bearing a 

 Waterhouse label, also another " Type Gahan 1927 ". 



Pteromalus comes Walker. One $, LECTOTYPE (possibly holotype) ; Water- 

 house label.
