Synergus facialis Hartig, 1840
gallaepomiformis
misident.
Distribution
England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland
Notes
This species has hitherto been known as
S. gallaepomiformis
in Britain but it was shown in
Pujade-Villar (2005)
that this name refers to another species (of
Saphonecrus
) and the widespread species should be called
facialis
.
Melika (2006a)
proposed that
gallaepomiformis
(Boyer de Fonscolombe, 1832,
Diplolepis
) should be retained as the valid name but did not make an application to ICZN to overturn the type designation of
gallaepomiformis
.
