Species wrongly placed in Pteromalidae 



Gastrancistrus Iriarte Walker, 1848 : 105, 159, $. Type material. 1 <$, LECTO- 

 TYPE ; Waterhouse label. It is a $ of the Entedontine species Chrysocharis idyia 

 (Walker) syn. n. 



G. Vonones Walker, 1839, Mon. Chalciditum, 2 : 67,^ (Brazil) (Type Hym. 5. 663). 

 This belongs to the Eulophid genus Chrysocharisl comb. n. 



Pteromalus cruciatus Ratzeburg, 1848 : 205, $. Holotype presumably destroyed ; 

 Ratzeburg mentioned that it lacked the head. From his description, and figure of 

 the propodeum (1848 : 3, fig. 8) there is little doubt that cruciatus was a male of 

 the Eulophid genus Pnigalio, possibly of agraules (Walker) ; since the holotype
