Peristenus
Foerster
, 1863
Notes
species of
Peristenus
excluded from the British and Irish list:
[brevicornis (
Herrich-Schaeffer
, 1838,
Perilitus
)] Listed by
Loan (1974)
as incertae sedis within
Peristenus
or
Leiophron
, by
Huddleston (1978)
as a doubtfully placed species of
Leiophron
and by van Achterberg (in
Belokobylskij et al. 2003
) as a species of
Peristenus
. We cannot trace any references to this species occurring in Britain or Ireland.
[duplobrevicornis (Shenefelt, 1969,
Leiophron
); syn. brevicornis (Ruthe, 1856,
Microctonus
) preocc.] According to
Loan (1974)
, the type of brevicornis (Ruthe) is lost and the species cannot be identified with certainty. Recorded as British by
Marshall (1872)
.
Belokobylskij et al. (2003)
list it as a species of
Peristenus
(=
Leiophron
according to Belokobylskij).
[mitis (Haliday, 1833,
Leiophron
)] According to van Achterberg (in
Belokobylskij et al. 2003
) the type is lost and was probably a deformed specimen anyway.
