Type not found in USNM ( Masner and Muesebeck 1968 )); Ashmead 1893 : 144, 145, 151 (description, keyed); Brues 1916 : 545, 546 (description, keyed); Kieffer 1926 : 28, 45 (description, keyed); Masner and Muesebeck 1968 : 65 (type information); Johnson 1992 : 590 (cataloged, type information). Link to distribution map. http://hol.osu.edu/map-large.html?id=2821 Figures 80-82. Telenomus graptae , female neotype (USNMENT01109318) 80 head, mesosoma, metasoma, lateral view 81 head and mesosoma, dorsal view 82 head, anterior view. Scale bars in millimeters. Neotype designation. We here designate specimen USNMENT01109318 to be the neotype female of Telenomus graptae : UNITED STATES : White Mountains, 6.VIII.1887, reared from egg, (deposited in USNM). Comments. Masner and Muesebeck (1968) clarified that this specimen could not be the holotype of T. graptae because the original male and female syntypes were mounted on slides, both of which are lost. This specimen bears a label "LECTOTYPE ♀ Telenomus graptae How. By L. Masner, 1964", but it is not eligible to be a lectotype because lectotypes must be selected from a syntype series. This specimen is in the best condition among those of this species determined by Howard and thus we consider it to be the best candidate for a neotype.
