REMARKS

Risbec described this species based on three females:one reared from an Apanteles Förster, 1862 cocoon ( Hymenoptera , Braconidae ), one collected from salad leafs, and one he obtained from eggs of Charaxes epijasius Reiche, 1850 ( Lepidoptera , Nymphalidae ). The specimen on slide MNHN.14.18, collected on salad, was remounted and labeled by LF, and is here designated as lectotype. It is uncontorted, with the right fore leg missing and the left eye collapsed. Labels on slides ORSTOM.2.7 and MNHN.4.60 differ from those given in the original description and thus specimens on these slides are not designated as paralectotypes.
