Type material
Type series of Gasteruption tournieri from Switzerland [Peney near Geneva], France [Bordeaux, Pérez], and Italy (Geneva Museum). Holotype of Gasteruption austriacum (a male in NMW from Austria, Frankenfeld and collected by Erber) and type series of Gasteruption nitidum (males in NMW from Italy, Calabria, collected by Erber) are probably lost.

Variation. Chinese specimens: Body length 14.0–18.5 mm. Ovipositor sheath 1.0–1.2 times as long as body, 1.4–1.8 times as long as metasoma and 5.0–5.7 times as long as hind tibia, its apical ivory part 2.1–2.6 times as long as hind basitarsus; temple 0.4–0.6 times as long as eye in dorsal view; propleuron shiny and slender, 0.9–1.0 times as long as mesoscutum in front of tegulae.
Distribution
China (Jilin, Henan, Hunan, Guizhou); Japan, South and Central Europe, up to England, Netherlands and Germany.
Biology
Unknown. Collected in April–May in Japan, in July–August and October in China.
Notes
The Chinese specimens have a slightly differently shaped head, but this may be part of a clinal variation. Specimens from the Central Palaearctic are necessary to decide if this is the case.
