REMARKS

Risbec (1956a) made this name available by including the name in a key, but he did not state the number of specimens examined or exact locality data, except that the species was from Madagascar and that it was reared from galls on the stalk of Andropogon madagascariensis Hack. Risbec (1958) provides a subsequent description of Brasema andropogonae (see above under Remarks for Brasema alasorae ). Because he pointed to a single female and quoted the data on slide MNHN.4.51, according to ICZN Article 74.6, this should be regarded as a lectotype designation.
