Type material: ‘‘ San Luis Potosi, Mex, Edw. Palmer Coll, Loose in box’’, ‘‘ Q. Potosina Ed. Palmer coll’’, ‘‘ Andricus tecturnarum COTYPE’’ (red label), ‘‘ AMNH_IZC 00322810 ’’, ‘‘ LECTOTYPE Andricus tecturnarum Kinsey, 1920: 306 design. M. Ferrer-Suay 2016 ’’ (red label).

Comments. According to the original description eight female cotypes and three clusters of galls are deposited in the AMNH, in the MCZ and in the author’s collection. In the AMNH we have found an adult and several galls and the adult is designated as lectotype and has been so labeled by the first author. This species remains as Andricus ; pending a complete Andricus worldwide revision A. tecturnarum is considered a valid species. Images of the lectotype and its labels are given in Fig. 2 .
