Remarks. Despite intensive research in the ETHZ collection, we could not locate the type of Ellampus marginellus (currently Holophris marginella ). The type was already insuccessfully searched by the former curator of the ETHZ collection, Rod Eastwood, for the revision of the Oriental Holophris Mocsáry, 1890 ( Rosa et al. 2016). In fact, Ellampus (Holophris) marginellus Mocsáry, 1890 is the type species of the subgenus Holophris . This subgenus was upgraded to genus rank by du Buysson (1900) and it is still accepted as a valid genus ( Kimsey & Bohart 1991; Rosa et al. 2016). Ashmead (1902) was the first author to provide a modern key to genera of Chrysididae , including Holophris , whereas Bischoff (1913) was the first author to produce a checklist of the species distributed from South America to Africa and Australia.
