Ceranisus bicoloratus (Ishii) : Boucek & Askew 1968: 137 ; Loomans & van Lenteren 1995: 129, 130, 196. Thripoctenoides gaussi Ferrière : Boucek & Askew 1968: 138 ; Trjapitzin 1978: 426 . Entedonastichus gaussi (Ferrière) : Boucek 1988: 733; Loomans & van Lenteren 1995: 146–149, 197. Diagnosis: This species was well described and illustrated (habitus only) by Ishii (1933) . Female. Body dark brown to black, shining; appendages generally brown to dark brown except F1 white. Head with vertexal suture a little sinuate. Antenna (Fig. 15) with scape relatively slender, a little wider in basal half than in distal half, about 4.5 x as long as wide; pedicel slightly longer than wide and about as long as F1 or F2; flagellar segments with numerous long setae and sensilla; F2 a little wider than F1, clava about 2 x as long as wide, about equal to combined length of funicle segments. Midlobe of mesoscutum with 2 pairs of setae. Forewing (Fig. 16) relatively wide, about 2.5 x as long as wide; longest marginal setae about 3/10 maximal width of forewing; disc hyaline, bare in basal 2/5 of the wing and densely setose distad of about mid-level of marginal vein. Hind wing about 7 x as long as wide, with about 3-4 irregular rows of setae. Coxae smooth. Petiole trapezoidal in dorsal view, about as long as wide. Ovipositor not exserted, occupying about 3/5 length of gaster; ovipositor length/metatibia length ratio about 1.2:1. Male. Unknown. Type material examined: 3 female ? syntypes of T. bicoloratus were deposited in the collection of the Imperial Agricultural Experiment Station ( Ishii 1933 ) but as of now are lost ( Loomans & van Lenteren 1995) . Lectotype female of T. gaussi on a slide [MHNG], here designated to avoid possible confusion regarding the status of the type specimens of this species, labelled as follows: 1. “ Allemagne Wittental X.1957 - Gauss Ex. Liothrips setinodis ”; 2.“ Entedoninae : Thripoctenoides gaussi n. sp. Ch. Ferrière.”; 3. “[red] Thripoctenoides gaussi Ferrière LECTOTYPE ^ Des. by S. Triapitsyn 2002”; 4. “ Entedonomphale bicolorata (Ishii) ^ Det. S. Triapitsyn 2004”. Paralectotypes of T. gaussi (here designated): 3 females on 2 slides [MHNG] and 1 female on point [BMNH], same original label data as on the lectotype slide. An additional non-type slide in MHNG (same original labels as the lectotype ) contains several pupae of T. gaussi as well as remains of the host.The type locality of T.gaussi is in Schwarzwald, Baden-Württemberg , Germany : Ichenheim/Lahr according to Ferrière (1958) but Wittental (?Stegen-Wittental) according to the labels on the original cotype slides. Other material examined: JAPAN : Shimane Pref. (Honshu Island): Izumo (“Host: Liothrips wasabiae Haga et Ok. ”): em. 1.iv.1990 , T. Murai, 4^ [HFES]; em. 1.iv.1991 , T. Murai, 5^ [HFES, UCRC]. Sada-Cho, 13.ix.1990 , T. Murai, 8^ (“ex. Liothrips wasabiae on Japanese horse reddish”) [UCRC]. Distribution: Japan , Germany , and Ukraine (Loomans & van Lenteren 1995, as E. gaussi ). Hosts: Various Phlaeothripidae listed by Loomans and van Lenteren (1995) for Entedonastichus gaussi as well as Liothrips wasabiae Haga & Okajima (T. Murai pers. comm.; Loomans & van Lenteren 1995) and also an unidentified thrips species ( Ishii 1933 ). Comments: The examined specimens from Japan and Germany are identical, hence this obvious synonymy of T. gaussi under E. bicolorata .
