Ichneumon cursorius Smith, 1874

( Figure 11 View Figure 11 )

Taxonomic history. Uchida (1926) transferred this species to Amblyteles Wesmael, 1845 , Heinrich (1931) then to Triptognathus Berthoumieu, 1904 , and Heinrich (1937) finally to Fileanta Cameron, 1901b . The specific name ‘ cursorius ’ was preoccupied by Zetterstedt (1838), hence, Townes et al. (1965) proposed the replacement name ‘caterythra’ for Smith’s species.

Current taxonomy. Primary homonym, valid name: Fileanta caterythra Townes, Momoi & Townes, 1965 ( Ichneumonidae : Ichneumoninae : Ichneumonini ).

Type number. Type 3b.319. Specimen # NHMUK010881023 View Materials

TYPE / HYM./ Ichneumon /cursorius/( Smith1874 ’ (square label; first and second lines printed and third to fifth lines handwriting); fourth label, ‘Hiogo/ Japan.’ (square label; first line handwriting and second line printed); fifth label, ‘ I. cursorius / Type ♀ Smith’ (square label; handwriting); sixth label, ‘ Amblyteles /Morley det.’ (square label; first line handwriting and second line printed).
