Type
material examined.
Lectotype
of
Tumidiclava
(
Orthoneurella
)
minuscula
Nowicki
[
DEZA
] here designated to avoid the existing ambiguity about the
type
status of the specimens standing under this name in the S. Novicky main collection of
Trichogrammatidae
. The
lectotype
is the fifth microslide from the top on the same pin with 6 other microslides, in the completely dried water-soluble mounting medium, and is labeled: "Le Rouret AM VI.
VII.35
♀
Orthoneurella minuscula
cotype".
The
lectotype
needs to be remounted in
Canada
balsam; its condition is rather poor at this point although it appears to be more or less complete. It fits the original description of
Nowicki (1940)
.
Paralectotypes
[
DEZA
]:
5 specimens
on the same pin with the
lectotype
, as follows:
1 female
(the top microslide), labeled: "Le Rouret A.M. VI-VII.35 ♀
Tumidiclava minuscula
"; an empty microslide, from which the specimen is lost (the second microslide from the top), labeled: ”Le Rouret A.M. VI-VII.35 ♀
Tumidiclava minuscula
";
1 male
(the third microslide from the top), same label except for the male symbol;
1 female
(the fourth microslide from the top), labeled: ”Le Rouret A.M. VI.
VII.35
Tumidiclava minuscula
cotype ♀";
1 male
(the sixth microslide from the top), labeled: ”Le Rouret A.M. VI.
VII.35
Tumidiclava minuscula
cotype ♂";
1 male
(the seventh microslide from the top), labeled: ”Le Rouret A.M. VI.
VII.35
Orthoneurella minuscula
cotype ♂".

Diagnosis.
FEMALE (based on specimens from
Italy
). Body brown, except head yellow, ocelli dark, and eyes red, legs yellow.
Antenna (
Fig. 24
): club slightly longer than wide, basal segment the shortest, apical segment the longest and with 4 PLS, terminal process as long as second claval segment. Fore wing (
Fig. 25
) with a brown area behind apex of submarginal vein and base of marginal veins; disc densely setae, setae irregularly arranged. Ovipositor (
Fig. 26
) long and slightly exerted, arising from fourth gastral sternite.
MALE. See
Nowicki (1940)
.

(

(

(new record),

Hosts.
Unknown.
Comments.
This species was described originally from a short series of
syntypes
of both sexes (although in the legend to the illustration of the pair of wings
Nowicki (1940)
mentioned a male “
Type
”) from Le Rouret (Alpes-Maritimes,
France
, the collection locality of the
lectotype
and the
paralectotypes
listed above) and also Hyères (near Toulon, Var,
France
); one female from the latter locality has not been found. Examination of the
type
specimens and also the good original description leaves no doubt about the correct identification of the examined non-type specimens from
Italy
and
Kyrgyzstan
.
