Ameroseius gillardinae . - Narita et al. 2015 : 396. Type depository. Musee Royal de l'Afrique Centrale, Tervuren Belgium. Type locality and habitat. Democratic Republic of Congo (as Zaire), Luluabourg, on digger wasp, Sphex fumicatus (as Sphex umbrosus metallicus ) ( Hymenoptera ). Comparative material. Democratic Republic of Congo : 4 ♀♀ (MRAC: 142496, holotype ; MRAC: 142508, 170343, paratypes ) - 7-18. 3. 1935 , Luluabourg , Sphex umbrosus var. metallicus , leg. Gillardin. Remarks. Given that the characteristics of the type specimens of Ameroseius gillardinae are within the range of variability found in Ameroseius benoiti Elsen, 1973, I suspect A. gillardinae to be a synonym of A. benoiti .
