Copidosoma thebe (Walker, 1938)

Comments. In Tachikawa’s collection (ELKU) we found a box containing some 33 specimens (7 ♀♀, Hokkaido, Mt. You, Alkan Nat. Park, 25.vi.1958, Y. Murakami lgt.) labelled as Litomastix claviger Mercet, 1921 . This species was synonymized with Copidosoma thebe by GUERRIERI & NOYES (2005). However, the specimens examined by us did not belong to C. thebe and more closely resembled C. cyaneum Hoffer, 1970 and C. zdeneki Guerrieri & Noyes, 2005 and therefore we excluded the possible record of C. thebe from the list of Japanese fauna.
