Comments
Dessart described the species from three male and two female specimens. According to
Dessart (1975)
, the male
holotype
and one male
paratype
are deposited at the Zoological Museum at the University of Copenhagen,
Denmark
(ZMUC), which was indicated in
Johnson & Musetti (2004)
. However, missing from
Johnson & Musetti (2004)
, there is another male
paratype
at the Institut Royal des Sciences Naturelles de
Belgique
,
Bruxelles
,
Belgium
(ISNB), a female
paratype
in the Cl. Bésuchet collection in the Muséum d’Histoire Naturelle,
Geneva
,
Switzerland
(MHNG), and a female
allotype
in the J. Barbier collection in the MNHN. The female
allotype
specimen is card mounted (MNHN EY25349), and there is one microscope preparation (prép. no. 7312/141) with the right antenna (MNHN EY22449).

There are a few errors and inconsistencies in the original publication.
Dessart (1975)
gives the identifier used for the
allotype
specimen as “N°7312/111”, but the actual number on both the specimens and the slides is N°7312/141. The label information given in the paper matches the specimen, although
Dessart (1975: 49)
reports an additional label saying “Contre mur / dans la / maison” which is missing from the actual specimen. Still, there is no doubt that this is the
allotype
specimen Dessart studied in describing
Ceraphron barbieri
.
