Entedon erdoesi Delucchi (Eulophidae)

Entedon (Chlorentedon) erdoÈsi Delucchi, 1954b: 97 . Lectotype m, Switzerland: Schwyz, Sihlsee, hereby validated, selected by Askew (VD [examined]).

Material. LECTOTYPE m (mp, left wings lacking) labelled`Sihlsee 18.V.52 V. Delucchi leg.; ENTEDON erdoÈsi n. sp. V. Delucchi det.; TYPE [red]’ (body illustrated, 1954b: 98, ®gure 1).

PARALECTOTYPES, VD: 2 mm, 10 ll(mp), labelled as follows: 1 l` Sihlsee 18.V.52 V. Delucchi leg.; Entedon erdoÈsi n. sp. V. Delucchi det.; TYPE [red]’ and 2 mm, 9 ll` Sihlsee 18.V.52 V. Delucchi leg.’. One slide (sc) labelled`39; ENTEDON erdoÈsi Del. DIS Antennae ml ’ with left antennae (1954b: 100, ®gures 2a, 2b) of a male and a female paralectotype and one slide (sc) labelled`40; ENTEDON erdoÈsi Del. Ala DIS’ with left fore wing (1954b: 100, ®gures 2c, 2d) of a female.

Remarks. Delucchi described both sexes and stated`Type in meiner Sammlung.’ but did not specify the number of specimens he had. Unfortunately, both the lectotype and one female paralectotyp e lack the left wings. Because the two specimens are extremely similar in this respect it cannot be established with certainty to which specimen the slide with the wing belongs.

Status. Junior synonym of Entedon metatarsalis Thomson syn. n. (Askew, in litt.).
