Description

Aegilips notatus Belizin, 1951 incertae sedis

Aegilips notatus Belizin, 1951: 571 (♀).

Type material

Lost according to S. Belokobylskij (pers. comm.).

Comments

The original description of the species mentions the presence of ridges ventrally on the pronotum and mesopleuron, a laterally wrinkled scutellum and distinct scutellar foveae, among characters regarding its coloration. The first are not useful enough to properly distinguish it from other similar species, and the characters regarding the coloration are mostly useless when talking about Cynipoidea. Thus, it is impossible to determine if Aegilips notatus is a separate and valid species. Because of this, we consider it to be incertae sedis.
