Material examined.

Lectotype, female, M. fulmeki : AUSTRIA: Burgenland, Eisenberg , 17.VI.1941, reared, L. Fulmek, SDEI 0001A (deposited in SDEI) . Paralectotype: AUSTRIA: 1 female, SDEI 0001B (SDEI) .

Comments.

We transfer this species to Telenomus based on the 3-merous antennal clava and T2 that is wider than long. The sculptural details of the head are difficult to assess because of the state of the lectotype and paralectotype specimens. The visible characters, including the transverse rugae of the dorsal frons, place this species in the laricis species group of Telenomus sensu Johnson (1984b) and Huggert (1983).
