Notton, David G., 2010, A catalogue of the types of Platygastridae (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea) at the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, with brief notes on the history of the collection, Zootaxa 2358, pp. 1-24 : 15

Platygaster muscivora Risbec, 1950: 619 , figs 87a–c.

Current status. Platygaster muscivora

Syntypes 3 ƤƤ; 3, Sénégal, Bambey (MNHN).

Labels. Platygaster / muscivora Risbec / ex pupes Diptères/ 26.7.44 / Bambey [syntypes 3 ƤƤ; 3].

Remarks. The four syntypes are dry-mounted on a microscope slide; the cover slip is ringed with paraffin wax. As well as the syntypes, also present are the remains of two dipteran host puparia, inside which are three more wasps that did not emerge. These three are not considered syntypic since Risbec only mentions four syntypes.
