Synopeas rochai Ashmead 1908

Synopeas rochai Ashmead, 1908 nomen nudum Synopeas rochai Ashmead (in Rocha 1908: 70). Rocha (1918: 21, nomen nudum, checklist; 1950: 293, checklist, biology) Leptacis rochai (Ashmead): Silva (1973: 110, checklist, biology, combination). Remarks. Rocha (1950) reported this species is a parasitoid feeding on larva of leaf galls of Inga ingoides Wild. (Fabaceae), thus the published information does not allow us to hypothesize the identity of this species. Fernandes et al. (1988) cited Braconidae and Eurytomidae occurring in galls of Cecidomyiidae in leaf and stem of I. ingoides, while Platygastridae (cited as Platigasteridae) occurs in galls of Cecidomyiidae in leaf of Machaerium aculeatum Raddi and Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. There are also reports of Platygastridae occurring in galls made by Cecidomyiidae in petiole/vein/stem from Baccharis reticularia DC. and in host undetermined in stem Byrsonima variabilis A. Juss. (Maia and Fernandes, 2004).
