REMARKS

Risbec (1955) established this name based on 30 ♀ and 15 ♂ as a variety of Brasema leersiae Risbec, 1956 . The latter name was made available only one year later ( Risbec 1956a) and consequently the publication date of the variety precedes that of the species. Because it is a synonym of Eupelmus australiensis (Girault, 1913) , establishing the correct usage of names and their priority is now irrelevant.
