Seladerma agreste Delucchi (Pteromalidae)

Seladerma agreste Delucchi, 1953a: 216 . Holotype m, Germany: Sachsen Anhalt, Blankenburg (NMW [examined]).

Material. HOLOTYPE m (mp, left antenna, right clava, left fore wing, and left metatarsus partly lacking) labelled`Blankenburg Schmiedekn.; convexum Walk. det. Ruschka; Seladerma ; SELADERMA agreste n. V. Delucchi det.; TYPE [red]’. One slide (sc) labelled`75; SELADERMA [black underlined] agreste [red underlined] antenna m; L. agrestis [sic] ( Seladerma ) a... [illegible] [pasted over by former label]’ with left antenna (1953a: 209, ®gure 10; Delucchi, 1955a: 52, ®gure 64) and one slide (sc) labelled`76; SELADERMA [black underlined] agreste [red underlined] ala m; L. agrestis [sic] n. ... [illegible] ( Seladerma ) ala DIS [pasted over by former label]’ with left fore wing (1953a: 209, ®gure 11; 1955a: 52; ®gures 65, 66) of holotype.

Remarks. Delucchi described the female and stated` Type am Nat. Museum in Wien.’ but did not specify the number of specimens he had. One female and one male (mp) from the FoÈrster collection in the NMW and provided with Delucchi’s identi®cation label are not considered as part of the type series, since their data were not mentioned and the male was not described.

Examination of the name-bearing types and a further six females from England, Hungary, and Switzerland ( BMNH, MZL, NMBE, VD) con®rmed the apparent synonymy of agreste with Seladerma convexum Walker as suggested by Graham (1969: 206).

Status. Junior synonym of Seladerma convexum Walker syn. n.
