Catolaccus tepicensis Ashmead, 1895: 554 . Type data (Ƥ holotype, CASC, examined): described from one female from Tepic [ Mexico], collected by Messrs. Eisen and Vaslit.

Discussion. The holotype ( Figs 45–48 ) is entire and typical for Eurydinoteloides in all aspects. It is one of the species that has a malar sulcus but lacks an evident malar depression ( Fig. 47 ), has a yellow scape ( Fig. 47 ) and tegula ( Fig. 45 ), and a largely smooth and shiny metapleuron with its anterior margin uniformly curved, convex, and raised slightly above and over the posterior margin of the mesopleuron ( Fig. 48 ) rather than recurved outward at an abrupt angle to the mesopleuron. The tibiae are also mostly yellow, though the metatibia ( Fig. 48 ) has a slight brownish tint mesally, the knee and apex more broadly being yellow. The left fore wing appears to have nine completely exposed and comparatively long admarginal setae in a single row. The wings and glue mostly conceal the propodeum ( Fig. 45 ) so that presence or absence of plical carinae posteriorly within the nuchal furrow is not visible, but there is a fine median carina. The clypeus is comparatively broadly and shallowly incurved.
