2. Cyclophatnus flavus Cameron 1910

(Fig. 2)

Current combination. Gyroneuron flavum (Cameron 1910) new combination ( Braconidae: Rogadinae).

Gyroneuron testaceator Watanabe 1934: new synonymy

Material examined. Cyclophatnus flavus ♀ holotype, NHMUK, Darjeeling, India: ‘Danjiling [sic]’; ‘ Cyclophatnus flavus Cam. Darjiling’; ‘P. Cameron Coll. 1914-110’; ‘ ♀ Cyclophatnus flavus Cameron, 1910 C. van Achterberg, 1979 Holotype’; ‘ C. flavus B.M. TYPE HYM 3C.1821’; ‘ NHMUK 010634938’. Gyroneuron testaceator ♀ holotype, SDEI, Taiwan: ‘DEI-GISHym 10624’; ‘ Gyroneuron testaceator Wat. det. Belokobylskij ‘90’; ‘ Gyroneuron ♀ testaceator Watanabe Type’; ‘Coll. DEI Eberswalde’; ‘Holotypus’; ‘Gyroneuronella n. sp. ’; ‘Kankau (Koshun) Formosa H. Sauter V+.1912’.

Cameron (1910) described the genus Cyclophatnus and its one included species, Cyclophatnus flavus, in the Macrocentrinae and it has remained classified as such ever since. Somebody had added the name Gyroneuron above Cyclophatnus in the NHMUK collection and I can confirm that the holotype of Cyclophatnus flavus (3c.1821, NHMUK 010634938; Fig. 2) is a species of Gyroneuron, of the subfamily Rogadinae . Gyroneuron Kokujev = Cyclophatnus Cameron, syn. nov.; Gyroneuron flavum (Cameron) is a new combination. I was able to compare the specimen with photographs of the holotype of Gyroneuron testaceator Watanabe 1934 in SDEI, one of only two previously described species of Gyroneuron, and they appear to be conspecific, so G. testaceator is a junior synonym of G. flavum, syn. nov. Gyroneuron flavum has a wide range, over China, India (type locality of Cyclophatnus flavus), Taiwan and Vietnam (Chen & He 1997; Long & Belokobylskij 2004). The holotype status of NHMUK 010634938 was checked by van Achterberg in 1979. The published type depository was Berlin (‘Royal Berlin Zoological Museum’) (Cameron 1910), but the specimen was acquired by NHMUK from Peter Cameron in 1914. It should probably be returned to Berlin.
