Leucopis aphidivora
Rondani, 1847
ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1847d: 349.
TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no
type
locality in his original description but presumably it is
Parma (Italy)
because he referred to observations made by himself. He later (
Rondani 1875a: 263
) added “
Parmae a me observata
[observed in
Parma
by myself]”.

CURRENT STATUS: valid species (

,
Nartshuk
et al.
1995: 7
,
Raspi & Benelli 2016: 200
).
REMARKS:
Rondani (1847b: 349)
described
Leucopis aphidivora
from more than
one specimen
without specifying the
number
, the sex or the length of the specimens. He redescribed this nominal species (1848a: 434) as “
aphidipora
”, not used by subsequent authors (
Becker 1905: 235
,
Morge 1962b: 436
,
Tanasijtshuk 1984: 225
,
Nartshuk
et al.
1995: 7
,
Raspi & Benelli 2016: 200
). Therefore, the original spelling “
aphidivora
” is to be used and “
aphidipora
” is as an incorrect subsequent spelling. In the MZUF specimens of
Leucopis aphidivora
and
Leucopis aphidiperda
are both numbered “1812”.
Morge (1962b: 436)
designated a
lectotype
(
♀
) but did not mention an additional
two specimens
(one, just the pupa) in the MZUF (both of these additional specimens are
paralectotypes
).
