Syntype ♀, BMNH number 9.895.

Primary type data

63-52; apicalis; Diapria .

Sri Lanka (as Ceylon).

Remarks

The syntype is mounted on a card and is entire. The number 63-52 refers to Natural History Museum Entomology register number 1863-52, which includes a group of insects described as “Type specimens described by Mr Walker in the Annuals & Magazine for 1858-59 -60”. Diapria apicalis was renamed Diapria walkeri by Dalla Torre (1890) because of homonymy with Diapria apicalis (Say 1836) . The type of D. apicalis is a Trichopria so Trichopria walkeri is a new combination.
