CURRENT TAXONOMIC STATUS. — Synonym of Anastatus apantelesi Risbec, 1951 View in CoL n. syn.

TYPE MATERIAL. — MNHN.14.28.Two ♀ syntypes, mounted directly in balsam, collapsed due to air drying, with most of the antennae and legs missing, labeled in Risbec’s handwriting: “ Anastatus / nezarae n. var / de A. apantelesi / ex ω Nezara / prunasis Dal./ Bambey”.

NON TYPE MATERIAL. — MNHN, ex. coll. ORSTOM.2.15. Ten broken females of A. apantelesi and one male with a very long clava, dry mounted under one coverslip, labeled in Risbec’s handwriting: “ Anastatus / nezarae Risbec / ex ω Pentatomidae / Garoua. Descamps/ 5.54.”.

REMARKS

The two female syntypes are not in good condition, as also noted by Risbec (“en mauvais état”) ( Risbec 1951a). The specimens on slide ORSTOM.2.15 are not syntypes as only the two females on slide MNHN.14.28 were mentioned in the original description. Risbec (1951a) introduced the name as a variety of A. apantelesi (but spelled “Variété A. nezarae , n. var. ”), and in the following pages (251-252) he listed Anastatus nezarae as a species, but accompanied sometimes by “n. sp., n. var.” (see Remarks under Neanastatus tenuis var. bicolor ). In a later publication he used again Anastatus nezarae as a species name ( Risbec 1955).

After examining the two fragmentary syntypes of Anastatus nezarae , it appears that the name is synonym of A. apantelesi Risbec.
