Treatment

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

Current status. Platygaster muscivora View in CoL

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

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