Enicospilus merdarius (Gravenhorst, 1829) Figs 1, 2C, 11A, 13A, 19A Ophion merdarius Gravenhorst, 1829: 698; lectotype Ƌ, OUMNH, examined. Ophion tournieri Vollenhoven, 1879: 61, pl. 39; syn. nov. Henicospilus rossicus Kokujev, 1907: 170; lectotype Ƌ, ZIN, photos examined; syn. nov. Enicospilus contributus Shestakov, 1926: 256; syn. nov. Enicospilus repentinus – misidentification (Gauld 1973). Status As described in the “Taxonomy of British Enicospilus ” section above, the lectotype male of Ophion merdarius is a specimen of the species usually called E. tournieri. The (probably non-British) female paralectotype is a specimen of Enicospilus adustus (i.e., the usual interpretation of the name), so the choice of lectotype was unfortunate. We have not examined type material of Ophion tournieri or Enicospilus contributus as these types cannot be located; instead we have followed the synonymies (under tournieri) of Aubert (1962, 1964) and Viktorov (1957). The type of E. contributus should be in ZIN but could not be located (A. Khalaim, pers. comm.). The whereabouts of the type male of O. tournieri is a mystery; Townes et al. (1965) report the type depository as the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle, Paris, but it cannot be found there (A. Touret-Alby, pers. comm.) and it seems unlikely when most of the Vollenhoven’s types were deposited in Dutch collections. There is also no trace of a type in Naturalis, Leiden (F. Bakker, pers. comm.), which includes the former Amsterdam collections. The type locality of Switzerland makes it likely that O. tournieri is a synonym of E. merdarius rather than E. cruciator, described from Turkmenistan and apparently more of a species of hot, dry climates (judging by published records and the collections of BMNH). Restricted to a few coastal sites in England and Scotland. Only reared from Agrotis ripae (Hübner, 1823) (Noctuidae) (7 rearings), which inhabits the strandlines of sandy beaches and is very localised. The apparent host specificity of E. merdarius may be a result of the ...
