Stictomischus miniatus Delucchi (Pteromalidae)

Stictomischus miniatus Delucchi, 1953a: 214 . Holotype m, Czech Republik: Moravia, Freiheitsau [HaÂj ve Slezsku] (NMW [examined]).

Material. HOLOTYPE m (mp, left antenna, right fore leg beyond trochanter, and left hind leg beyond coxa lacking) labelled`Aus Actaea D. 47.; Freiheitsau Silesia 25. |8. 06. [back side of former label]; Coll. Hendel; TYPE [red]; STICTOMISCHUS miniatus n. V. Delucchi det.’. One slide (sc) labelled`34; STICTOMISCHUS [black underlined] miniatus [red underlined] antenna m; S. miniatus n. sp. DIS antenna [pasted over by former label]’ with left antenna ( Delucchi, 1955a: 78, ®gure 111) of holotype.

PARATYPES, NMW: 1 m (mp) labelled` Aus Actaea D. 47.; Freiheitsau Silesia 25. |8. 06. [back side of former label]; Coll. Hendel’ stood next to the holotype and is therefore considered as part of the type series. One slide (?scx) with right wings (fore wing illustrated, 1955a: 78, ®gure 110) of that paratype. VD: 1 m (mp) labelled` Aus Actaea D. 47.; Freiheitsau, Silesia 25.|8. 06. [back side of former label]; Coll. Hendel; Stictomischus miniatus n. V. Delucchi det.’ is considered as part of the type series .

Remarks. Delucchi described the female and stated`Type im Nat. Museum in Wien.’ but did not specify the number of specimens he had. Apparentl y he overlooked the data on the back side of the ®rst label of the holotype, as he mentioned the origin of the species as unknown (1953a: 214). Three males (mp) in VD mentioned later by Delucchi (1955a: 83, from Puppling, leg. F. Groschke) are not considered as part of the type series.

The species is very close to Stictomischus groschkei Delucchi and its status needs reconsideration (see also groschkei ).

Status. Stictomischus miniatus Delucchi.
