Diapria apicalis
Walker, 1860: 359
.
Valid name
Trichopria walkeri
(
Dalla Torre, 1890
)
comb. nov.
Summary of
types
Syntype
♀
, BMNH number 9.895.
Primary type data
63-52; apicalis;
Diapria
.
Type locality
Sri Lanka
(as
Ceylon
).
Remarks
The
syntype
is mounted on a card and is entire. The number 63-52 refers to Natural History Museum Entomology register number 1863-52, which includes a group of insects described as “Type specimens described by Mr Walker in the Annuals & Magazine for
1858-59
-60”.
Diapria apicalis
was renamed
Diapria walkeri
by
Dalla Torre (1890)
because of homonymy with
Diapria apicalis
(Say 1836)
. The type of
D. apicalis
is a
Trichopria
so
Trichopria walkeri
is a new combination.
