Diapria smithii Ashmead 1896

Authors/Creators

Description

Diapria smithii Ashmead, 1896: 804, 805.

Valid name

Trichopria smithii (Ashmead, 1896).

Summary of types

Lectotype ♀, BMNH number 9.710, here designated. Paralectotype ♂.

Primary type data

Grenada, W.I./ H.H. Smith/ 51; Type / H.T.; Diapria / smithii/ ♀ Type Ashm.

Type locality

West Indies, Grenada.

Remarks

This species was described from a female and a male specimen, both of which were found. The female is a Trichopria and the male is an Acanthopria. The female is designated as lectotype to maintain the current combination (Kieffer 1916; Masner 1965). The original description included the multiple original spellings smithii and smithi; smithii is to be considered the correct original spelling following the first reviser action of Dalla Torre (1898). Consequently the spelling smithi is unavailable.
