"Coll. H. Rhd." (printed); third orange label: "Type" (printed); fourth label: "rubens Rhd.;' (Reinhard's handscript); fifth label: "seen" (handscript) "D.S. Wilkinson Det. 193 "(printed)"6" (handscript); sixth label is my holotype label. The holotype is in poor condition, with several appendages either incomplete or absent: 1. Right antenna with 11, left antenna with 9 joints; 2. Tibia and tarsus of right leg and femur +tibia +tarsus of left leg broken; 3. Right middle leg broken; 4. Left wing somewhat shrivelled. Protapanteles incertus (RUTHE) Microgaster incertus RUTHE, 1859: Ent. Ztg. (Stettin) 20: 318 rf, type locality: Island, holotype in the Naturhistorisches Museum, Wien. Apanteles caberae MARSHALL, 1885, Trans. R. ent. Soc. Lond. p. 162 (in key) and 212 (description) 9ö*> tyPt locality: England, lectotype (?9)in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.), London; syn. n. Apanteles jugosus LYLE, 1916: Entomologist 49 : 270 Qçf, type locality: "New Forest" (on pin, Shenefelt 1969) (England), lectotype (?9) in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.), London. Synonymized by NIXON (1965). Apanteles mihalyii PAPP, 1973: Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung. 65: 296 9d*> type locality: "Bakony-hgs., Cuha-vgy." (Porva, Hungary), holotype (9) in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest. Synonymized by me (PAPP 1984). Through the kindness of DR. M. FISCHER (Naturhistorisches Museum, Wien) in November 1986 I received for study the single male syntype specimen of Microgaster incertus deposited in the museum indicated. Herewith I designate this male specimen as the holotype of Microgaster incertus or its actual name: Protapanteles incertus (RUTHE, 1859); its data are quoted according to the sequence of the labels) —first label: "Staudg. Island 1831" (handscript); second label: "Ruthe Type." (handscript); third label: "Microgaster incertus m." (?Ruthe's handscript); fourth label: "Microgaster incertus det. Ruthe" (det. printed, otherwise handscript); fifth label: "Apanteles immunis? Hal." (Nixon's handscript) "G. E. J. Nixon det. 1954" (printed, "4" handscript); sixth label: "Apanteles incertus Ruthe P>. Petersen 1956" (Petersen's handscript?); seventh label is my holotype label and the 8th label is with the actual name Protapanteles incertus (Ruthe). Holotype specimen damaged: right flagellum with 4 and left flagellum with 9 joints, both fore wings absent. A dark-legged specimen, as it was indicated by RUTHE himself; the legs of the European male representatives are reddish-yellow except blackish to black coxae and hind femur, the latter frequently with blackish suffusion of variable extent. HOST LIST OF THE EUROPEAN SPECIES OF APANTELES s. 1. In the world catalogue of Braconidae the genus Apanteles s. 1. was published in 1972 by R. D. SHENEFELT. The hosts of the Apanteles s. 1. species were compiled with an effort to strive for as complete a list as possible. This effort proved to be one of the main merits of the catalogue. The name of the hosts are enumerated in the same sequence as they had been published in chronological order by the authors. As a consequence of this method the catalogue is burdened with two deficiencies: 1) The same species might have been listed twice or more under their synonymous names, i. e. if the reader is not conversant in the valid as well as in the synonymous names of the hosts he may deem the synonymous names as representing so many valid species; 2) Systematically the species arranged even according to orders, thus in the bulk of the lepidopterous names there are intermixed coleopterous, hymenopterous etc. names too.
