Ichneumon irritator
Smith, 1874
(
Figure 19
)
Taxonomic history.
The specific name ‘
irritator
’ is preoccupied by
Ichneumon irritator
Fabricius, 1775
, hence a replacement name, ‘
lissolaba
’, was proposed for Smith’s ‘
irritator
’ by
Townes et al. (1965)
.
Heinrich (1937)
transferred this species to
Melanichneumon
, but
Townes et al. (1965)
to
Vulgichneumon
Heinrich, 1961
.
Current taxonomy.
Primary homonym, valid name:
Vulgichneumon lissolaba
Townes, Momoi & Townes, 1965
(
Ichneumonidae
:
Ichneumoninae
:
Ichneumonini
