Abstract

This paper is an addendum for the availability of the names of 11 new species proposed in Al khatib et al. (2014).

Introduction

Al khatib et al. (2014) described 11 new species of West Palaearctic Eupelmus, but only the acronyms of the depositories where the holotypes are deposited were given in the publication. The full names and location of the depositories were provided, but only in a Word document (Appendix S2) as part of the Supplementary Information (SI) available on the website of Systematic Entomology (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/syen.12089/suppinfo). Article 16.4 of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature states that “Every new specific and subspecific name published after 1999,... must be accompanied in the original publication... where the holotype or syntypes are extant specimens, by a statement of intent that they will be (or are) deposited in a collection and a statement indicating the name and location of that collection” (ICZN 2012). A museum acronym is not a statement of the location or even necessarily a clear indication of the name of a collection. Further, Appendix S2 cannot be considered as part of the publication or itself a publication because it is a Word document and thus contravenes ICZN Article 8.1.3, in addition to Articles 8.5.2 and 8.5.3. As a result, the new names published in Al khatib et al. (2014) are not available because the complete name and locality information of the holotype depositories are not provided in the publication, but only in a document that supplements the publication. For this reason, the authors provide in the present paper the new names published in Al khatib et al. (2014) with a precise statement (Table 1) as to the name and location of the collection in which the holotypes and other material listed in other supplementary files are deposited. Accordingly, the availability of the 11 names proposed in Al khatib et al. (2014) and given below takes the date of the present publication, as per ICZN Article 10.1. Al khatib et al. (2014) also did not include in the publication paratype information for new species with numerous paratypes, citing this information only in Appendix S1 on the Systematic Entomology website. We therefore also include here paratype designations to ensure this information is validly published.

Like other Eupelmus species described in this paper, the upper surface of the costal cell on the fore wing has only one row of setae on the apical half and not 3-4 rows as previously written.
