Epilampsis laevigata Delucchi (Eulophidae)

Epilampsis laevigata Delucchi, 1954a: 4 . Holotype m, Germany: Bayern, Forstenried [near MuÈnchen] (VD [examined]).

Material. HOLOTYPE m (mp, left antenna, left wings, and right hind wing lacking, right fore wing glued to card rectangle) labelled`ex Lithocolletis sorbi Frey. V. Delucchi leg.; Forstenried 20.XI.49; 41; m; Epilampsis laevigata n. V. Delucchi det. 54; TYPE [red]’. One slide (sc) labelled`37; E. laevigatan. sp. [red] m DIS [black] no. 41 [red]’ with left antenna of holotype.

PARATYPES, VD: 1 l(mp) though slightly disagreeing with data given by Delucchi (`Wolfratshausen [near MuÈnchen!] 14.XI.1951 ’ instead of`MuÈnchen 14.XI.1949 ’), considered as part of the type series. One slide (sc) with right antenna of that paratype .

Remarks. One female mentioned by Delucchi could not be located. One slide (sc) is labelled`39; 41. [red] laevigata [green] m ala [red] DIS [black] ’ with a left fore wing. The number`41’ is misleading in that it refers to the holotype. Though the left fore wing is indeed lacking from the holotype, the latter has retained the humeral plate and submarginal vein, whereas the wing on the slide is entire.

Status. Junior synonym of Chrysocharis nephereus (Walker) ( Hansson, 1985: 67) .
