REMARKS

A female in the general collection labeled as type was selected as lectotype. It was card mounted by LF from the original minuten-pin and is entire. The data on slide MNHN.1.73 mentioned above are exactly those given by Risbec (1952) for “ Eupelmus fissicollis , n. sp., variété” (only N°122 on slide is N° 112 in the publication). The specimen is identified as “ Eupelmus elongatus Risbec var.” Data on slide MNHN.4.52 refers to the specimen mentioned by Risbec in 1958.
