Valid name Trichopria pleuralis Ashmead in Riley, Ashmead & Howard, 1894 . Summary of types Syntype ♂ . Primary type data Leeward side/ St. Vincent , W.I./ H.H. Smith/ 239; Trichopria / pleuralis/ ♂ Ashm.; W.Indies/ 99-331. Type locality West Indies, St Vincent. Remarks This species was described from one specimen of each sex, of which the male was found. The male syntype is mounted on a card point and has much of the right flagellum missing; it has a fine but distinct basal vein and triangular marginal vein and belongs to the genus Basalys . It appears that the syntype series includes two species because Ashmead says the female syntype has a four-segmented antennal club, so it is unlikely to be a Basalys and more likely a Trichopria . It will therefore be necessary at some point to designate a lectotype to determine the application of the name Trichopria pleuralis ; however, no designation is made here since designating the male would create homonymy elsewhere and change the established generic combination, so future revisers are recommended to locate and consider the female syntype if possible before resolving this problem. The established generic combination is retained for now.
