Gonatocerus mancae Fidalgo & Virla 1995: 63 , nom. nud.

Comments. No species has ever been described under this published manuscript name, which is thus a nomen nudum. It was used for one of the four species of Gonatocerus from the ater species group, as defined by Huber (1988), reared in Tucumán Province of Argentina by E.G. Virla from eggs of Tapajosa rubromarginata (Signoret) (Cicadellidae) on maize and nearby gramineous plants in the field ( Fidalgo & Virla 1995; P. Fidalgo personal communication) and reported (as “ Gonatocerus spp. (4x)”) by E.G. Virla under “Data on the occurce [sic] of egg parasitoid species in different countries” in the December 2001 issue of Egg Parasitoid News (No. 13, p. 26). We know now, after studying their voucher specimens in CNCI, that it referred to one of the four following species of G. ( Cosmocomoidea ): G. nigrithorax (Ogloblin) , G. virlai Triapitsyn, Logarzo & de León, G. sp. near tuberculifemur (Ogloblin) “Clade 1”, and G. sp. 3, as defined by Triapitsyn et al. (2008).
