Leucospis histrio vespoides (Girault) comb, n., stat. n. 



Parexoclaenus vespoides Girault, 1915 : 355-356, $. Holotype $, Australia: Queensland, 



Brisbane (QM, Brisbane). 

 Parexoclaenus bomboides Girault, 1922 : 48-49. Type $, Australia: Queensland, (Nelson =) 



Gordonvale, near Cairns (lost). Syn. n. 



Girault's material of P. vespoides and P. bomboides, of the conspecificity of 

 which I was first informed by Dr E. F. Riek, was compared with my manuscript 

 key by Mr E. Dahms in the Queensland Museum, who found them agreeing with 

 histrio of my key. The original specimen of vespoides was mentioned as holotype 

 by Girault himself (1915), but no details were given about the material of bomboides. 

 Mr Dahms kindly informed me that there was one single specimen of bomboides 

 (mentioned above as lectotype), which is, however, missing from its tag. There 

 is a second specimen, equally bearing Girault's identification label as bomboides, 

 but of later origin: N. Queensland, Gordonvale, November 1920. In case that 

 some doubt should arise in future about the synonymy, the Gordonvale specimen 

 could be regarded as neotype, but I do not consider it necessary to designate it as 

 such at present. 



I found also many specimens identified as P. vespoides by Waterston in the BMNH, 

 all of them fitting well the original descriptions both of vespoides and bomboides.
