Abstract

Abstract Erythmelus (Erythmelus) dichromocnemus NOVICKY, 1953 stat. rev. (Hymenoptera, Mymaridae) is removed from its previous synonymy under E. (Erythmelus) flavovarius (WALKER, 1846), reinstated as a valid name, and redescribed. Its morphological structures are illustrated, and a lectotype is designated based on a syntype female collected in Warsaw, Poland. Erythmelus (Erythmelellus) lygivorus VIGGIANI & JESU, 1985 syn. n. is placed as a junior synonym under E. dichromocnemus. Specimens of E. (Erythmelus) agilis (ENOCK, 1909), E. dichromocnemus, E. flavovarius, E. (Parallelaptera) panis (ENOCK, 1909) and Litus cynipseus HALIDAY, 1833 in the Svatoslav NOVICKY (Światosław NOWICKI) collection of Mymaridae in Portici, Italy were remounted in Canada balsam from the dried and often darkened original water-soluble mountant medium to prevent further deterioration, and their distribution data are given.
