Brasema leersiae var. garouae Risbec 1955

Description

Brasema leersiae var. garouae Risbec, 1955

Brasema leersiae var. garouae Risbec, 1955: 224. Original description, ♀ ♂, Cameroon, Garoua; 1956b: 245 (catalogued). — Hedqvist 1970: 433 (catalogued). — Nonveiller 1984: 122 (catalogued).

CURRENT TAXONOMIC STATUS. — Synonym of Eupelmus (Episolindelia) australiensis (Girault, 1913) n. syn.

TYPE MATERIAL. — MNHN, ex. coll. ORSTOM.2.21. Eight ♀ and 16 ♂ syntypes plus one Eulophidae male, all under one coverslip, mostly dry mounted, but five specimens embedded in paraffin, labeled in Risbec’s handwriting: “ Brasema / leersiae. v. garouae R/ ex larves Cecidomyies/ s- mil. Garoua 9-53/ Descamps”.

REMARKS

Risbec (1955) established this name based on 30 ♀ and 15 ♂ as a variety of Brasema leersiae Risbec, 1956. The latter name was made available only one year later (Risbec 1956a) and consequently the publication date of the variety precedes that of the species. Because it is a synonym of Eupelmus australiensis (Girault, 1913), establishing the correct usage of names and their priority is now irrelevant.
