ABSTRACT. In this paper we listed and examined four type specimens of Ceraphronoidea, 94 of Cynipoidea and 198 of "Proctotrupoidea" (Hymenoptera) housed at the Museo de La Plata, Argentina (División Entomología) not included in previous papers. We also provide update information on categories of types, data of collection and hosts for all cases. These types belong to one, 10 and 12 species respectively and the species were described by Martínez (1), Diaz (2), Diaz & Gallardo (3), Gallardo, Diaz & Marchiori (1), Gallardo, Diaz & Uchoa (1), Kerrich & Quinlan (1), Pujade-Villar & Diaz (1), Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar (1), De Santis & Loiácono (9), Loiácono (2), and Loiácono & Margaría (1).

INTRODUCTION

This catalog is an update of a series that undertakes the revision of the type materials of Hymenoptera housed in the collections of the División Entomología, Museo de La Plata, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Two previous publications on types of superfamilies Cynipoidea, and "Proctotrupoidea" and Ceraphronoidea from this collection were done by Diaz & Loiácono (1995) and Loiácono & Diaz (1996).

According to the recommendation of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (Article 72 F.4, ICZN, 1999), the purpose of this contribution is to gather and update information on type specimens of the mentioned superfamilies deposited in this collection during the last years.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

In this contribution we provide new information of four type specimens of Ceraphronoidea, 94 of Cynipoidea and 198 of "Proctotrupoidea" belonging to one, 10 and 12 species respectively. The species were described by Martínez (1), Diaz (2), Diaz & Gallardo (3), Gallardo, Diaz & Marchiori (1), Gallardo, Diaz & Uchoa (1), Kerrich & Quinlan (1), Pujade-Villar & Diaz (1); Ros-Farré & Pujade-Villar (1), De Santis & Loiácono (9), Loiácono (2), and Loiácono & Margaría (1). Species are ordered alphabetically within subfamilies and genera, according to the classification proposed by Ronquist (1999) and Nauman & Masner (1985). Information on the specimens has been taken from labels and were compared to original descriptions. We have listed holotypes and syntypes and also paratypes, as it has been recommended by Lavett Smith & Buerkli (1969).
The following information is provided for each type specimen:
Species names. They correspond to the original combination (basonym) that accompanies original descriptions.
Bibliographic reference of original publication. Year, author/s, journal, volumen, and page number/s.
Type material. Categories of holotype, allotype, syntype, and/or paratype; number of specimens, sex when it is known; collection number. All specimens of the same series have received the same collection number, each one separated by a slash with an order number. The great number of material are pinned; mounted specimens on microscopic slides are indicated by (M.S.).
Collection data. Country, province or state, locality, date of collection, collector's name.
Observations. Host or other bionomic data included on labels.
