Microterys speciosus Ishii, 1923 View in CoL
Microterys speciosus Ishii, 1923: 70 View in CoL .
Type material examined. LECTOTYPE: ♀ (here designated), (No. 11), Nagasaki or Shizuoka or Kagoshima, ex Ceroplastes rubens , before 1923, T.Ishii lgt. ( NIAES). PARALECTOTYPE: 1♀ (on slide), same data as lectotype ( NIAES). Additional material examined. 1 ♀, Oita-city, ex C. rubens , 12.vi.1948, T. Tachikawa lgt. & det. ( ELKU). 1 ♀, Nagasaki, ex C. rubens , originally identified as M. amamiensis, G. Japoshvili revid. (Madrid NHM).
Distribution. Japan: Honshu, Kyushu, Shikoku ( TACHIKAWA 1963a). China, Israel, South Africa, Taiwan ( NOYES 2016).
Comments. This species was previously misidentifed by JAPOSHVILI (2011) as M. amamiensis . However as we have not been able to examine the type material of M. amamiensis , it is possible that the two names are synonymous. TRJAPITZIN’ s (1989) statement that the exserted part of the ovipositor of M. speciosus is 0.2–0.25× as long as the gaster is not correct. In all females of this species that we have examined the exserted part of the ovipositor is about 0.33× as long as the gaster.
