Pteromalus muscarum Hartig. No specimens so labelled in Hartig collection ; 

 but three groups of 8 $, 10 $, and 2 <J respectively, mounted with Muscid puparia, 

 and ticketed 988, 987, and 986, are regarded as syntypes. The specimens of each 

 group are mounted on card-points arranged in a whorl, with a puparium below. 

 LECTOTYPE, a female in the first group (988) whose card-point I have marked 

 with a red spot. 



Pteromalus abnormis Boheman. I recall having seen the syntypes of abnormis 

 and concluding that it was in fact the same as vitripennis (Walker) , but cannot now 

 find my notes on the specimens. No lectotype has yet been designated. 



Dicyclus pallinervosus Walker. One female (Type Hym. 5. 856) accepted as 

 HOLOTYPE, labelled " Madeira Wollaston ", " Dicyclus pallinervosus ", in 

 Walker's handwriting, and " Walker ". 



Stictonotus insuetus Walker. One female, LECTOTYPE (Type Hym. 5. 664), 

 labelled " Madeira Wollaston " and " Stictonotus insuetus ". 



Mormoniella brevicornis and Nasonia brevicornis Ashmead. Type material in 

 U.S.N.M. (not seen). Placed in synonymy with vitripennis (Walker) by Gahan 

 (1927) from information supplied by Waterston. 



Cosmopolitan. 



Biology. Chiefly a parasite of Diptera (Calliphoridae and Muscidae), but has been 

 reared from Diptera of other families ; for a list of hosts, see Peck (1963 : 711). In 

 Britain, imagines have been captured in the field June-August.
