He hasused the generic name Epexocl. instead ofExoclaenus. The joint determination isexplained in Boutek (1974: 205) underLeucospis aruina Walker.NOTES: Boaek (1974) selected the singlespecimen of Exoclaenus miltoni as aLectotype. I regard this as unnecessarysince the specimen is labelled "type" byGirault and bears the correct data exceptfor the collector's name. However, the datalabel is a typical, Dodd, Gordonvale label.T.4483 is the Queensland Museum registernumber for the Holotype of this species.

Aus., TYPE", "Chalcisminerva Gir. S. Aus., TYPE", "Chalcisjuno Gir., Type minerva Girault, Type[GF11". It appears that the above Syntypeof Chalcis minerva and the Holotype ofChakis juno were both originally pinnedthrough the one Girault label and that the

DAHMS: GI RAULT TYPES OF AUSTRALIAN HYMENOPTERA: III^817

SAM label for the former has beenincorrectly placed on the pin with thelatter. The Queensland Museum registernumber for its Syntype of this species isT.4520.

I suspectthat Girault changed his mind on the namefor his new genus before publication andhas omitted to change his labels.

PUBL. DATA: Meringa, Nov., jungle.QM: Card - Holotype 9 with head (2 forelegs adjoined), 1 mid leg and 1 hind legseparated; part of 1 mid leg missing (tarsusin glue). "4491", "HOLOTYPE","Smicromorpha minerva Gir., 9 type[GF1]".NOTES: I regard the spelling minerva to bea justifiable emendation under Article33a(i) of the Code. Girault's label (incombination with Smicromorpha ), his 1930paper and his unpublished manuscript alluse the spelling minerva and I take this asclear evidence of an inadverdent error in

the original spelling (Article 32a(ii) of theCode). The Queensland Museum registernumber for the Holotype of this species isT.4491.

On this label Girault has crossedout "... type, Hy/1280" and added "var".NOTES: The 1913 paper contains a briefdescription making this a valid, available,nominal species in that year. Because


Girault's papers in Mem. Qd Mus. weresynopses I am assuming that the 1914 paperwas written before the 1913 paper. In thiscase Girault would have had bothspecimens to hand when writing the 1913paper. His PUBL. DATA with the 1914paper clearly indicate the specimen on Slide1 was his primary type. The second male ismentioned with a brief note indicating adifference from the one he selected as histype. Annotation on the Slide 2 labelindicates that he later considered the secondmale to be a variety of this species. Thisexplains the crossouts on the labels ofSlide 2. Girault did not select a Holotype inthe 1913 paper which means his twospecimens were Syntypes. As a result of hisactions in the 1914 paper I am assigningLectotype-status to the male on Slide 1.The specimen on Slide 2 is therefore aParalectotype. Riek (1966) has assignedHolotype and Paratype-status to thesespecimens which I regard as incorrect.T.3954 is a duplicate Queensland Museumregister number for the Lectotype of thisspecies and is reserved for theParalectotype.

Thepair of legs and the antenna on the Slidemay be from this specimen but this isuncertain especially as the Slide contains nowings (also missing from the Holotype). Ihave interpreted the specimens and parts onthe Slide to be Paratypes for which theduplicate Queensland Museum registernumber T.4898 is reserved.Girault's labels bear the combinationCoelocyba minuta without his name inbrackets. This could be because he labelledhis specimens before he decided to describea new genus Paracoelocyba (his name notin brackets) or it could be as a result of the1931 new combination (he did not alwaysput his name in brackets for newcombination).

Coelocyba nigriventris (Girault, 1915) wasoriginally described in the genusCoelocybomyia Girault (1915). In 1916Girault made Coelocybomyia a juniorsynonym of Coelocyba Ashmead (1900).This action together with his 1931 newcombination involving Paracoelocybaminuta Girault (1916) brought Coelocybanigriventris (Girault, 1915) and Coelocybaminuta nigriventris together as secondarysynonyms.

Smith [OH]".Card 2 - 7 4 2 mostly intact labelled asDPIQ Card I.NOTES: I suspect that there has been somemix up in the labelling of the SAMspecimens. According to the PUBL. DATAthe Holotype has its head on a slide whichmatches the specimen on SAM Card 2 (notlabelled by Girault as type) and not thespecimen on Card 1 (labelled as type byGirault). This is confused further by bothslides bearing a fore wing - there is nomention of a fore wing on the Holotypeslide in the PUBL. DATA. SAM Slide 1 islabelled "type" by Girault and its partsmatch (in part) those missing from thespecimen on SAM Card 1. The fore wing isunder a separate coverslip fragment andcould therefore have been added later byGirault during re-examination of theHolotype (in his unpublished manuscriptGirault mentions re-examination of theHolotype). SAM Slide 2 is not labelled"type" by Girault and its parts matchthose missing from the specimen on SAMCard 2. The fore wing and head aretogether under a half coverslip andtherefore mounted at the same time.However, SAM Slide 2 has a head, as inthe PUBL. DATA, but SAM Slide 1 has nohead. The type annotations on the labels arein pencil. My interpretation is that Giraultlabelled the wrong specimen and itsmatching slide during re-examination of theHolotype. His PUBL. DATA were in errorin not including a fore wing on the slidewith the Holotype head. I therefore regardthe specimen on SAM Card 2 with its partson SAM Slide 2 as the Holotype. Thiscreates a problem since the data on SAMCard 2 are those mentioned by Girault in


1929. I suspect that Girault has accidentallytransferred this label to the wrong pin whenre-examining the specimens.The Mem. Qd Mus. 2 and Trans. R. Soc.S. Aust. papers issued in December 1913.As a standard I am adopting the latter asthe reference for this nominal species sinceit was obviously written first.

The 1927 description is the onlydescription of this nominal species.Although the description is not annotatedsp. nov. it serves to make this nominalspecies both valid and available. In thiscase the SAM specimen, which has notbeen located, would have been theHolotype. There are several reasons whichlead me to believe that, at the time whenthe 1927 description was written, Giraultthought he had already described thisnominal species. Girault did not annotatethe description as sp. nov. but he did so forI. silvae and I. silvifilia in the same key.Type-data for the last two mentionednominal species are given after the key, butnone are given for I. multistriata. In hisunpublished manuscript Girault places the1930 reference before the 1927 referencewhich I take to be his realisation that hehad not described I. multistriata prior to1927. The Wynnum label on the QMspecimen is in Girault's hand and it cannottherefore be the SAM specimen.The Queensland Museum register numberT.4641 for this species is retained inanticipation of Neotype selection by thefirst reviser.

In hisunpublished manuscript, when talkingabout additional specimens, Girault says,"Two males, same data as with the typefemale".QM: 3 stages on separate pins as follows:Stage 1 - Holotype 9 minus antennae, lefthind wing, left hind tarsus and most ofright wings. "Brisbane : H. Hacker,12.2.18", "4481", "Exoclaenoidesmutilloides Gir., 9 type [G11]", "Leucospis

The reverse of the label says,"Lectotype of E. mutilloides G. det.Dahms and Boutek".Stage 2 - 1 d (?) minus metasoma, rightwings and most of left antenna. "Brisbane,H.

Thisinformation was not available to DrBoutek and myself in 1973. The specimenon Stage 1 is clearly a Holotype and thoseon Stages 2 and 3 the additional malesmentioned in Girault's unpublishedmanuscript. The Queensland Museumregister number for the Holotype of thisspecies is T.4481.
