| Summary: | Antarctopria coelopae Early, 1978: 209, 210, figs 1-9. Valid name Spilomicrus coelopae (Early, 1978) comb. nov. Summary of types Paratypes 12 ♀♀, 17 ♂♂. Remarks An additional male from the Otago peninsula labelled as a paratype is not a type; specimens from this locality are listed under “other material” and so are not types. All current Antarctopria species, A. coelopae , A. campbellana Yoshimoto, 1964, A. diomedeae Early, 1978, A. latigaster Brues in Tillyard, 1920 and A. rekohua Early, 1978 appear to belong to a derived species group of Spilomicrus showing pronounced wing reduction and the associated suite of characters that go with it. Extra setae on the gastral tergites are found on wing-reduced representatives of a number of other diapriid genera and is not considered here a character of generic value. Consequently, these five Antarctopria species are transferred to Spilomicrus (new combinations), and since Antarctopria latigaster is the type species of Antarctopria , this genus is now a synonym of Spilomicrus syn. nov. : Published as part of Notton, David G., 2014, A catalogue of the types of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera, Diapriidae) at the Natural History Museum, London, pp. 1-123 in European Journal of Taxonomy 75 on pages 39-40, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2014.75, http://zenodo.org/record/3862773 : {"references": ["Tillyard R.
