Torymus iridis

Callimome iridis Picard, 1930.

Species not recognized

This species was described as a parasite of Iris oratoria L. (Mantodea, Mantidae) from four females in the collection of Abeille de Perrin (MNHN), probably collected in Provence. Bernard (1936: 70) stated that the species had not been seen since but in July 1935 he had obtained a male and a female Callimome, together with a male Iridophaga, from an old ootheca of Iris oratoria which had seemed to be empty. The original material has not been seen.
