Torymus inulae Wachtl, 1884.
Species not recognized
Type material.- The syntypes (2 ±±, 2 ) of this species have not been located. They were reared from galls of Diplosis subterranea Frauenfeld [Dipt. Cecidomyiidae] at the base of stems of Inula ensifolia, near Vienna, Austria.
According to the description inulae might be the same as T. grahami Boucek. The most striking characters in the description of the female are: antennal anellus quadrate, half as long as F1 (anellus quadrate in grahami and not half as long as F1); F1-F3 longer than broad; ovipositor as long as metasoma plus half to two-thirds of mesosoma; head and mesosoma, and dorsal surface of metasoma mainly, violet; scape reddish-yellow; legs, except base of mid coxae, and hind coxae, reddish-yellow.
In these respects the description would apply to some females of T. nobilis; but this always has a reddish subbasal ring on the metasoma, which is usually also reddish ventrally.
The characters mentioned may help to identify the species.
