Original description, ♀ ♂ , Cameroon , Garoua; 1956b: 245 (catalogued). — Hedqvist 1970: 433 (catalogued). — Nonveiller 1984: 122 (catalogued). CURRENT TAXONOMIC STATUS. — Synonym of Eupelmus ( Episolindelia ) australiensis (Girault, 1913) n. syn. TYPE MATERIAL. — MNHN , ex. coll. ORSTOM .2.21. Eight ♀ and 16 ♂ syntypes plus one Eulophidae male, all under one coverslip, mostly dry mounted, but five specimens embedded in paraffin, labeled in Risbec’s handwriting: “ Brasema / leersiae . v. garouae R/ ex larves Cecidomyies/ s- mil. Garoua 9-53/ Descamps”. REMARKS Risbec (1955) established this name based on 30 ♀ and 15 ♂ as a variety of Brasema leersiae Risbec, 1956 . The latter name was made available only one year later ( Risbec 1956a ) and consequently the publication date of the variety precedes that of the species. Because it is a synonym of Eupelmus australiensis (Girault, 1913) , establishing the correct usage of names and their priority is now irrelevant.
