THE TYPES OF PROCTOTRUPOIDEA 
(HYMENOPTERA) IN THE CHARLES T. BRUES 
COLLECTION AT THE MUSEUM OF COMPARATIVE 
ZOOLOGY 
By Lubomir Masner*

During a two week visit to the Museum of Comparative Zoology 
in June, 1964, I examined the types of 60 species of Proctotrupoidea 
described by Charles T. Brues. These belonged to the following 
families: 21 Proctotrupidae, 7 Diapriidae, 13 Scelionidae, 15 Platy- 
gasteridae, and 4 Ceraphronidae. In the present report a number 
of lectotypes are selected, some new combinations are suggested, and 
an account of the state of preservation of all types listed is given. 
The names and synonymy used in this paper are those proposed by 
Masner and Muesebeck (Supplement 2, Hymenoptera of America 
north of Mexico. United States Department of Agriculture, 
in press). The taxonomic categories subfamily and tribe are not used 
in the present paper; the genera and species are arranged alpha- 
betically throughout the families. Under each species are listed the 
various labels on the type specimen, from top to bottom, each “label” 
being separated by a semicolon. Specimens are glued to card points 
except when specifically mentioned as pinned (on minuten nadeln).
