ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: 1847d: 349.
TYPE LOCALITY: Rondani gave no typelocality in his original description but presumably it is Parma (Italy)because he referred to observations made by himself. He later ( Rondani 1875a: 263) added “ Parmae a me observata[observed in Parmaby myself]”. TYPE MATERIAL: 1 ♀, lectotype(missing head, genitalia on a slide in the same Box) ( MZUB: Box 337): 27 75 / Leucopis aphidivoraRond., ex a. parmensi/ aphidivoraRndn., Parma / Lectotypus ♀ Leucopis( Leucopis) aphidivoraRondani, det. G. Morge, Ex. 1 / Hiervon Ovipositor [ovipositor of this specimen] Preparat. Nr. 1. PARALECTOTYPESNOT EXAMINED: 1 ♀(dissected) ( MZUF: Box 35): LeucopisMgn/ aphidivoraRnd./ 1812 / Syntypus Leucopis( Leucopis) aphidivoraRond., det. G. Morge, Ex. 5 ( in litteris); one pupa, syntype( MZUF: Box 35): LeucopisMgn/ aphidivoraRnd./ 1812 / Syntypus Leucopis( Leucopis) aphidivoraRond., det. G. Morge, Ex. 6. SLIDE: Genitalia on slide ( MZUB: Box 337): Leucopis( Leucopis) aphidivoraRondani, Lectotypus ♀, Parma Ex.1, G. Morge, Prep.n. 1 / Legrohr in Duronbalsam[apical sclerite in Duronbalsam] XI.1960 Istituto di Zoologia Bologna( Italia), G. Morge.
CURRENT STATUS: valid species ( Tanasijtshuk 1984: 225, Nartshuk et al.1995: 7, Raspi & Benelli 2016: 200).
REMARKS: Rondani (1847b: 349)described Leucopis aphidivorafrom more than one specimenwithout specifying the number, the sex or the length of the specimens. He redescribed this nominal species (1848a: 434) as “ aphidipora”, not used by subsequent authors ( Becker 1905: 235, Morge 1962b: 436, Tanasijtshuk 1984: 225, Nartshuk et al.1995: 7, Raspi & Benelli 2016: 200). Therefore, the original spelling “ aphidivora” is to be used and “ aphidipora” is as an incorrect subsequent spelling. In the MZUF specimens of Leucopis aphidivoraand Leucopis aphidiperdaare both numbered “1812”. Morge (1962b: 436)designated a lectotype( ♀) but did not mention an additional two specimens(one, just the pupa) in the MZUF (both of these additional specimens are paralectotypes).
