KEHLMAIER, C. & DE MEYER, M. (2005): On the identity of Pipunculus straminipes BECKER, 1900 (Diptea: Pipunculidae).- Studia dipterologica 11(2) [2004]: 600-602; Halle an der Saale.


ABSTRACT [not included in the original paper]

The holotype of Pipunculus straminipes BECKER, 1900, currently placed under Eudorylas ACZÉL, 1940 was studied and found to be conspecific with Pipunculus chlorionae FREY, 1945, currently placed under Cephalops FALLÉN, 1810.

As a result, C. chlorionae should be regarded as a junior synonym of E. straminipes, with the latter in need to be transferred to Cephalops, leaving Cephalops straminipes (BECKER, 1900) as the valid name of the species.
