CURRENT TAXONOMIC STATUS. — Eupelmus (Episolindelia) pennisetae ( Risbec, 1958) n. comb.

TYPE MATERIAL. — MNHN.4.61. Three ♀ and two ♂ syntypes, dry mounted under two coverslips, all damaged to various degrees, labeled in Risbec’s handwriting: “G253. galles/ fleurs Pennisetum / polystachyum / Majunga; Anastatoidea / pennisetae / Risbec/ G.253” .

REMARKS

The first coverslip covers three ♀ and one ♂. One female has the head still attached, with only one antenna lost, and could be selected as lectotype after remounting if necessary.The other two females are crushed, with the heads broken off, but are conspecific with the first female. The male is very damaged. The second coverslip covers one ♂, completely crushed under it. This is a species from the Eupelmus australiensis speciesgroup, with a long and uniformly dark ovipositor.
