Abstract: Type specimens from the Hymenoptera collection deposited in the Department of
Entomology, National Museum of the Czech Republic are currently being
catalogued. In this part of the catalogue, we deal with the families
Ceraphronidae, Platygastridae, Proctotrupi- dae and Scelionidae. We present
precise information about the 28 species belonging to the families
Ceraphronidae (three species), Platygastridae (three species), Proctotrupidae
(two species) and Scelionidae (20 species), including six holotype specimens.
For each species, we give the current status, distribution, and photographs,
with many of these images being published here for the first time. In addition,
two paratype specimens previously assigned to Ceratoteleia leucosia Nixon,
1931 and Paratrimorus pinguis Nixon, 1933 are herein revised and the species
are transferred to the genera Dicroscelio Kieffer, 1913 and Psilanteris
Kieffer, 1916, respectively, resulting in the following new combinations –
Dicroscelio leucosia (Nixon, 1931) comb. nov. and Psilanteris pinguis (Nixon,
1933) comb. nov.
