Copidosoma thebe
(Walker, 1938)
Comments.
In Tachikawa’s collection (ELKU) we found a box containing some
33 specimens
(
7 ♀♀
,
Hokkaido
, Mt. You, Alkan Nat. Park,
25.vi.1958
, Y. Murakami lgt.) labelled as
Litomastix claviger
Mercet, 1921
. This species was synonymized with
Copidosoma thebe
by GUERRIERI & NOYES (2005). However, the specimens examined by us did not belong to
C. thebe
and more closely resembled
C. cyaneum
Hoffer, 1970
and
C. zdeneki
Guerrieri & Noyes, 2005
and therefore we excluded the possible record of
C. thebe
from the list of Japanese fauna.
