Gonatocerus tremulae (Bakkendorf): Matthews 1986: 222 (in part, misidentification of non-type specimens from England, see “Material examined” below); Donev 2001: 31 (record from Turkey); Donev 2005: 383 –384 (diagnosis, distribution); Pricop 2010b: 114 –116 (illustrations), 117 (valid species, diagnosis, distribution – but see comments under G. tremulae about misidentification). Gonatocerus ovicenatus Leonard & Crosby: Huber 1988: 59 –60 (member of the ater species group, subsequent references, lectotype designation, diagnosis, redescription, host associations, records from Iran); Baquero & Jordana 2003: 16 –18 (synonymy, diagnosis, redescription, distribution, host associations); Pricop 2009a: 73 –74 (records from Romania); Pricop 2009b: 123, 125 (records from Romania, illustration); Huber et al. 2009: 271 (list); Pricop 2010a: 81 (records from Romania); Pricop 2010b: 113, 117 (diagnosis, distribution), 114–116 (illustrations). Gonatocerus megalura (Mathot): Donev 1988d: 194 –195 (distribution). Type material examined. Gonatocerus oxypygus Foerster: neotype female [MHNG], here designated in accordance with Article 75.3 ([ICZN] 1999) to avoid ambiguity regarding the identity of this species, to define the nominal taxon objectively and clarify its taxonomic status, and because the original type material of this species is lost. The neotype is on a slide (Fig. 283) labeled (the original label in?A. Foerster’s handwriting): “ Gonatocerus caudatus Frst. ” [Foerster’s manuscript name]. The neotype of G. oxypygus was remounted in Canada balsam at UCRC from an A. Foerster-style original mount on a minuten pin, one of two that were inserted in the same small balsa wood piece on a pin also labeled more recently in blue ball pen ink: “ Gonatocerus caudatus F.”. The neotype lacks F6–F8 and clava of one antenna (Fig. 285) and approximately apical halves of both ovipositor sheaths (Fig. 286), which are broken off, and also one fore leg and the apical part of one fore wing, but otherwise is in fair condition: it cleared surprisingly well considering that it is probably at least 150 years old. I searched for the type specimen(s) of G. oxypygus in A. Foerster’s collection during a visit to the NHMW in June 2007 and confirm that this (or these) has (have) been lost, hence the neotype designation. Gonatocerus ovicenatus Leonard & Crosby: lectotype female on point [CUIC], designated by Huber 1988: 59. Label data of the lectotype as indicated by Huber (1988) plus a red label “ LECTOTYPE Gonatocerus ovicenatus Leonard & Crosby Des. Huber 1987 ”. Also 1 male paralectotype on point (originally labeled as an “allotype”) and 1 female and 1 male paralectotypes on slides [all CUIC]; the slides are labeled as follows: 1. “ Cornell University No. [443 (male) or 444 (female), followed by 3 or Ƥ symbols, respectively] SUB. SL. Gonatocerus ovicenatus Leonard & Crosby. Reared from eggs of Idiocerus gemmisimulans Leonard & Crosby Ithaca N. Y. DATE May 20, 1915 Paratype ”; 2. “ PARATYPE Cornell U. No. 443” (male) or “444” (female). Gonatocerus megalura (Mathot): holotype female of Lymaenon megalura [ISNB] on slide (Fig. 288) labeled: 1. “Louvain (Canal) 12.VIII.43 (Roseaux). no296”; 2. “Dr. H. Debauche det. Lymaenon megalura Deb. Ƥ Type”. The holotype (Fig. 289) is in poor condition: insufficiently cleared, almost complete (lacking F2–F8 and clava of one antenna and also some leg segments), and mounted laterally, with one fore wing and both hind wings folded and mostly obscured.

PALAEARCTIC: Belgium *, Bulgaria (Donev 1988d [as G. megalura], 2005 [as G. tremulae]), Germany, Greece *, Hungary *, Iran (Huber 1988; Fallahzadeh & Huber 2011) [as G. ovicenatus], Italy (Viggiani 1969 [as Lymaenon ovicenatus]; Viggiani 1988 [also as Lymaenon tremulae]; Viggiani & Jesu 1988 [also as L. tremulae]), Netherlands (Noyes 2012 [as G. ovicenatus]), Romania (Pricop 2009a, 2010a, b [as G. ovicenatus and (2010b only) also as G. tremulae), Russia *, Spain (Baquero & Jordana 2003 [as G. ovicenatus]), Turkey (Donev 2001 [as G. tremulae]), and UK (England) (Hincks 1960 [as L. tremulae, in part]; Matthews 1986 [as G. tremulae]; Baquero & Jordana 2003 [as G. ovicenatus]). NEARCTIC: USA (New York). This Palaearctic species was apparently unintentionally introduced with poplars (hosts of the Idiocerinae) into the USA (Huber 1988); however, Baquero & Jordana (2003) later noted, without providing any data, that G. ovicenatus was probably not established there. Here I confirm establishment of G. oxypygus in North America (see “Extralimital records”). Populus nigra is an introduced species in North America; at the same time my attempts to collect G. oxypygus in upstate New York on Eastern cottonwood, Populus deltoides, which is native to North America, failed (Shackford 2012). Redescription. FEMALE (neotype of G. oxypygus, holotype of Lymaenon megalura, paralectotype of G. ater, and non-type specimens from the Palaearctic region). Body length 930–1300 µm. Body (Figs 289, 291) dark brown to black, appendages mostly brown to dark brown. Antenna (Figs 285, 290, 293, 297) with radicle 0.24–0.3× total len
