Remarks

Apanteles rhamphus was synonymized under Illidops barcinonensis (Marshall, 1898) by Papp (1986) as part of his redescription of I. barcinonensis; the lectotype is deposited at MNCN. However, these species were both only known from a single specimen of the opposite sex, I. barcinonensis from a single female and A. rhamphus from a single male specimen. We observed that some species and barcoding clusters of Illidops show significant sexual dimorphism (more detailed information in the section on I. suevus) and have doubts about the synonymy of these names, which we currently cannot investigate further.
