The Hymenoptera (Chalcidoidea, Ichneumonoidea, Platygastroidea) described by Vittorio Delucchi: an annotated catalogue Author Baur, Hannes text Journal of Natural History 2001 2001-01-31 35 1 55 125 http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/002229301447899 journal article 10.1080/002229301447899 1464-5262 5275865 Aphytis riadi Delucchi (Aphelinidae) Aphytis riadi Delucchi, 1964b: 136 . Lectotype m, Lebanon : Fanar , hereby validated, selected by LaSalle (VD [examined]). Material . LECTOTYPE m (sb) labelled`65; Aphytis riadi n. sp. m ex P. pergandei FANAR 29.4.64 (Berlese) [written directly on the slide with a blue pen]’. PARALECTOTYPES , VD : 8 mm (8 sb) and 2 pupae (1 sb) with similar data as lectotype . Remarks . Delucchi (1964b: 139) stated that he had deposited the holotype , seven paratypes , and two pupae in his own collection and two paratypes in the ELF. The specimens above certainly represent the type series though none has been designated as holotype or paratype . Apparently one specimen quoted for the ELF actually remained in Delucchi’s collection. Rosen and DeBach (1979: 353 ; 370, ®gures 528, 529) examined and illustrated a`paratype’ of riadi . Judging from their ®gures it was none of the above specimens but perhaps the other specimen cited for the ELF. Status. Junior synonym of Aphytis chilensis Howard ( Gerson, 1967: 1116 ) .
