Type material (Walker types bear a Waterhouse label). Pteromalus grandis 

 Walker. Syntypes, 4 $. LECTOTYPE, the third specimen. 



Pteromalus latipennis Walker. One female, LECTOTYPE. 



Pteromalus tenuicornis Forster. Types in Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna 

 (not seen). Kurdjumov (1913) transferred tenuicornis to Habrocytus and stated 

 that it was identical with specimens reared from Anthonomus pomorum [Col., 

 Curculionidae]. Earlier (1912) he had redescribed tenuicornis and synonymized 

 Habrocytus chlorogaster Thomson with it, although he had not seen the type-material 

 of the latter. His redescription of tenuicornis agrees well with the species here 

 identified as grandis (Walker), and the host cited by him supports the idea that the 

 two are identical.

 U.S.S.R. 



Biology. Parasite of Anthonomus spp. (Col., Curculionidae). I have examined 

 the following reared material of grandis (in BM(NH), determined as tenuicornis 

 Forster): — England : Kent, East Mailing, $$ reared 15. vi. 1936 from Anthonomus 

 pomorum (L.) ; Sussex, Stonegate, $$ reared in 1936 from the same host. France : 

 Lyon, St. Genis Laval, <$$, $$ reared in June 1930 from Anthonomus spilotus Redt. 

 The specimens recorded from A. pomorum, under the name tenuicornis Forster, by 

 Kurdjumov (1913) were almost certainly grandis. Imagines have been reared, or 

 captured in the field, in April and June-August.
