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]”. TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀ , lectotype (missing head, genitalia on a slide in the same Box) ( MZUB : Box 337): 27 75 / Leucopis aphidivora Rond. , ex a. parmensi / aphidivora Rndn. , Parma / Lectotypus Leucopis ( Leucopis ) aphidivora Rondani , det. G. Morge, Ex. 1 / Hiervon Ovipositor [ovipositor of this specimen] Preparat. Nr. 1. PARALECTOTYPES NOT EXAMINED: 1 ♀ (dissected) ( MZUF : Box 35): Leucopis Mgn / aphidivora Rnd. / 1812 / Syntypus Leucopis ( Leucopis ) aphidivora Rond. , det. G. Morge, Ex. 5 ( in litteris ); one pupa , syntype ( MZUF : Box 35): Leucopis Mgn / aphidivora Rnd. / 1812 / Syntypus Leucopis ( Leucopis ) aphidivora Rond. , det. G. Morge, Ex. 6. SLIDE: Genitalia on slide ( MZUB : Box 337): Leucopis ( Leucopis ) aphidivora Rondani , Lectotypus , Parma Ex. 1, G. Morge , Prep. n. 1 / Legrohr in Duronbalsam [apical sclerite in Duronbalsam ] XI.1960 Istituto di Zoologia Bologna ( Italia ), G. Morge . CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Tanasijtshuk 1984: 225 , 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 ).
