Type material. Pteromalus morys Walker. Lectotype designated by Graham 

 (1957^ : 235). 



Disema pallipes Forster. Placed in synonymy with morys by V. Rosen (1960a : 

 32-33) on the basis of a Forster male in Berlin Museum. 



Xenocrepis pura Mayr. Type $ (not seen) in Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna. 

 Placed in synonymy with morys by Graham (1957^ : 235). 



Britain, France, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland, Moldavian S.S.R. 



Biology. Parasite of Ceuthorrhyncus assimilis Payk. (Col., Curculionidae), also 

 recorded in Sweden as a parasite of Dasyneura brassicae (Winn.) (Dipt., Cecidomyi- 

 idae) (see v. Rosen, i960 : 11). Imagines July-August.

Type material. For synonymy, and designation of lectotypes for nearly all of 

 the above species, see Graham (1957^ : 229-230). 



Pteromalus clavicornis Walker. One female, the TYPE (Type Hym. 5. 726) ; this 

 specimen lacks the antennal flagella, but I think it is probably the same as incultus. 



M. incultus has been redescribed (as Xenocrepis inculta) by von Rosen (1958 : 236). 



Widely distributed in Europe ; Syria. 



Biology. Chiefly a hyperparasite (sometimes a primary parasite) of Apion spp. 

 on Trifolium repens L. in Sweden (see von Rosen, 1962 : 141-142). It has also 

 been reared in England, Cornwall, Looe, 29.vii.1957 (P. J. Osborne) from a weevil in 

 seeds of Plantago (the host probably Gymnetron pascuorum Gyll. or Mecinus sp.). 

 Females overwinter amongst the foliage of coniferous trees and in similar situations.
