Enaysma parva Delucchi (Eulophidae)

Enaysma parva Delucchi, 1956b: 72 . Holotype m, Italy: Sardegna, Ittiri (VD [examined]).

Material. HOLOTYPE m (cp, left antenna lacking) labelled` Sardegna Ittiri 30-VI-55 [sic]; ex Lithocolletis messaniella V. Delucchi leg.; HOLOTYPE [red]; ENAYSMA parva n. sp. V. Delucchi det. 56’. One slide (sc) labelled`16; ENAYSMA

(parva) n. sp. parva n. sp. antennae m lDIS’ with left antenna (1956b: 67, ®gure 9) of holotype and right antenna (1956b: 67, ®gure 10) of a paratype male.

PARATYPES, VD: 13 mm, 4 ll(mp, 2 cp). One slide as above .

Remarks. The range of dates given by Delucchi is`22.III.± 30.IV.1955 ’. A further slide (sc) labelled`17; 32 [red] parva [green] m ala 1 antenna [red] DIS [black]’ with right antenna and left fore wing of a female was in Delucchi’s collection. However, no paratype has been found to correspond to these parts. The enlarged third anellus of the antenna and the long postmarginal vein of the fore wing suggest to me that the parts may rather originate from a specimen of Chrysocharis .

Askew and Ruse (1974: 268, sub Enaysma ) investigated some paratypes of parva and gave additional characters for recognising the species.

Status. Achrysocharoides parva (Delucchi) comb. n.
