Notes

The lectotype female of Gasteruption rufescenticorne Enderlein, 1913, is obviously different from the paralectotype male (e.g. head not emarginate medio-posteriorly and more narrowed, narrower occipital carina and different sculpture of mesoscutum) and is very similar to Gasteruption japonicum. The differences as indicated in the key could be part of gradual variation and after examination of more Japanese material its status may need reconsideration.
