Taxonomic changes in Ichneumonoidea (Hymenoptera), and notes on certain type specimens Author Broad, Gavin R. text Zootaxa 2021 2021-03-10 4941 4 511 541 journal article 7660 10.11646/zootaxa.4941.4.3 a4583583-90dc-415f-923c-334c5dc9ce60 1175-5326 4595588 8DDC8255-7E11-4135-AF8E-F60FF1AB6827 20. Townesia qinghaiensis He 1996 ( Fig. 19 ) Current combination. Junior synonym of Liotryphon strobilellae (Linnaeus 1758) new synonymy ( Ichneumonidae : Pimplinae ). Material examined. 2♀ s, 2♂s, NHMUK , China , Inner Mongolia , 6.iv.2005 , M.L. Sheng , BMNH(E) 2010-66; numerous European specimens of Liotryphon strobilellae in NHMUK . Comments. Prof. Mao-Ling Sheng kindly donated two females and two males identified as Townesia qinghaiensis , from Inner Mongolia . Li et al. (2019) illustrated the ovipositor tip of Townesia qinghaiensis in detail. These specimens and illustrations agree with the original description ( He et al. 1996 ): the name is a junior synonym of the widespread Liotryphon strobilellae . He (in He et al. 1996 ) described the species based on specimens reared from Cydia strobilella (Linnaeus) ( Lepidoptera : Tortricidae ), a frequent host of L. strobilellae , whereas the European Townesia tenuiventris (Holmgren) is a parasitoid of solitary aculeates (e.g., Jussila & Käpylä 1975 ); the hosts of other Townesia Ozols species are unknown.
