Neotype designation.

The disappearance of the type series of Telenomus rileyi was documented by Masner and Muesebeck (1968). A series with “type” labels was reared from the same host, Asterocampa clyton (Boiduval & Leconte), as the type series in 1884, and likely was determined as T. rileyi by Howard. We here designate a female from this series (OSUC 115283) to be the neotype specimen

Material examined.

Neotype female: UNITED STATES: IL, Livingston Co., Fairbury , III-1884 (OSUC 115283 (USNM)).
