France : Arras en juin ( De Gaulle ): Amiens en juin ( Carpenter )” ( Kieffer 1907a: 139 ); MNHN EY25346 . Distribution Palearctic. Fig. 20. Conostigmus leviventris Kieffer, 1907 . A . Labels. B . Paralectotype, ♀, lateral habitus (MNHN EY25346). Comments Kieffer (1907a) described the female of the species, but it is unknown how many specimens Kieffer observed or where the specimen(s) are. There is a double point-mounted female specimen at the MNHN (MNHN EY25346) with locality information matching that given in Kieffer (1907a) . Dessart left a label on this specimen in 1973 designating it the female paralectotype of Conostigmus leviventris , while also leaving the comment “= rufescens f. ailee!”. However, Dessart never formally synonymized C. leviventris with C. rufescens . The identity and whereabouts of the implied lectotype are unknown. The female specimen is double point mounted and in poor condition. Unfortunately, the specimen is missing its head, and the pin it is double point-mounted on has begun to rust.
