  • Author(s): Triapitsyn, Serguei;
  • Abstract: The name of mymarid wasp Gonatocerus cicadellae Nikolskaja, 1951 is synonymized under G. longicornis Nees, 1834 based on examination of the material recently collected in northern Kyrgyzstan, from where G. cicadellae was described. New data about the distribution of this species, an egg parasitoid of the leafhopper Cicadella viridis (Linnaeus, 1758), are given.
