Achterberg 2003c ). species of Apanteles excluded from the British and Irish list: [anomalon (Curtis, 1830, Microgaster )] This name appeared in Huddleston (1978) but is not listed by Papp (1988) or Achterberg (2003c) and remains uninterpreted. [nigripes (Ratzeburg, 1844, Microgaster )] This name appeared in Huddleston (1978) but is not listed by Papp (1988) or Achterberg (2003a) . [picipes ( Bouche , 1834, Microgaster )] Papp (1987) intended to deal with this name, with a footnote in that paper saying that it would be dealt with under A. xanthostigma , but there is no mention there of picipes. It is presumed that the name picipes is a synonym or a nomen dubium; it is not listed as a valid species by Achterberg (2003c) .
