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.
