Remarks

Apanteles rhamphus was synonymized under Illidops barcinonensis ( Marshall, 1898) by Papp (1986) as part of his redescription of I. barcinonensis ; the lectotype is deposited at MNCN. However, these species were both only known from a single specimen of the opposite sex, I. barcinonensis from a single female and A. rhamphus from a single male specimen. We observed that some species and barcoding clusters of Illidops show significant sexual dimorphism (more detailed information in the section on I. suevus ) and have doubts about the synonymy of these names, which we currently cannot investigate further.
