Comments

Kieffer (1913) described Ceraphron alticola from a female specimen or specimens, though this is the only type known for this species to date. At this point, we consider this specimen to be a syntype. There are no original locality or type labels with the specimen, though there is a note reading “ Ceraphron alticola || Type 19 K.”. The same type number appears on the label for Aphanogmus fumipennis (vial MNHN EY25361), originally the type of Kieffer’s Ceraphron oriphilus .

Dessart dissected this specimen in 1966 and made two microscope preparations (prép. no. 6505/183), one of the right antenna (MNHN EY22427) and one of the right forewing (MNHN EY22428). The specimens are circled in black to indicate their position on the slides. The rest of the female specimen is in ethanol (vial MNHN EY25359).
