Telenomus nizwaensis Polaszek sp. n. (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae): availability of the species name

ABSTRACT

Telenomus nizwaensis Polaszek sp. n. an egg parasitoid of the pomegranate pest Deudorix livia (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae), is described. The description is minimal, as it serves primarily to make the name available following an earlier electronic-only description that carried a non-operational ZooBank Life Science Identifier (LSID), hence failing to make the name available. The name is thus now available from the present publication. A valid ZooBank LSID is also provided for the species name.
