mouth width 19, distance between raised lower margin of toruli and mouth 18, between upper margin of toruli and median ocellus 19; scapus 27, flagellumplus pedicellus about 54. Distance between toruli twice the width of each torulus. Clypeus vertically striate, its lower margin straight. Both mandibles 4-toothed. Lower margin of toruli slightly above lower ocular line. Antenna (Text-fig.

6) very slender; scapus clearly exceeding vertex level (Text-fig. 7), second anellus only slightly transverse, all six funicular segments elongate, first fully 3 times, sixth about 1.4 times as long as broad, with longish subdecumbent hairs and rather sparse and fine sensilla linearia; preclava on outer side with slender brownish digitiform processus; clava slender, with first suture distinct, the second indistinct, most of third segment transformed into a long curved stylus. Pronotum barely narrower than mesoscutum, anterior margin not sharp, shoulders broadly rounded. Mesoscutum rather flat, about 1.45 times as broad as long. Scutellum weakly convex, about 1.1 times as broad as long. Dorsellum very narrow, shiny. Propodeum convex, all over deeply reticulate with meshes broader mesad; median carina and plicae absent, the very short nucha hardly indicated by slight cross-depression, otherwise anterior plical foveae distinct though small; spiracles small, shortoval, area behind them convex; hairs of callus thick but confined to elongate area above bare metapleurum. Mesopleurum with hairs below wings and along epicnemial edge. Prepectus very small. Legs of medium strength. Fore wing aboui" 2.65 times as long as broad, distally with dense short brownish pubescence (Text-fig. 5), basal fold almost bare but basal cell below submarginal vein with a few scattered hairs and on cubital fold with sparse hair line. Ratio of the marginal, postmarginal and stigmal veins as 21:20:10; marginal vein not thickened, angle between postmarginal and stigmal veins about 40°. Gaster not collapsing after death, twice as long as broad, nearly as long as head plus thorax, broad anteriorly, sides of apex converging at about 60°. First tergite smooth, medially about as long as the second plus third combined, following tergites slightly increasing in length (sixth the longest) and with gradually appearing transverse alutaceous reticulation, fifth and sixth tergites with distinct cross-reticulation; epipygium very short. Male: 1.7-1.9 mm. Similar to female but for the following. Basal two antennái segments and legs except for the mainly infuscated coxae, testaceous; flagellum dark brown to black; gaster fuscous but with large subbasal spot and the tapering apical quarter yellow. Pubescence of head and thorax slightly less conspicuous, sparser and shorter than in female. Antenna (Text-fig. 8) very long, scapus slightly thickened in basal half, flagellum combined with pedicellus almost twice as long as breadth of head, slender filiform, with erect bristles which do not form conspicuous whorls; both anelli very short; seven funicular segments decreasing in length, the seventh still more than twice as long as broad; clava bisegmented, narrow, with distinct slender stylus. Scutellum in profile distinctly convex. Fore wing on basal cell with more conspicuous pilosity, 2-3 hairs also on basal fold. Propodeal nucha slightly more distinct than in female. Gastral petiole visible, short-spatulate, lateral length about 0, 4 width of petiole. Body of gaster shorter and narrower than thorax, rather flat.

1957 (BOUCEK); deposited in the BMNH, London. Paratypes, 299 (one allotype): Italy, Ceriale near Albenga, 3.XI. 1972 (BOUŐEK). Biology. In xerothermic grassy habitats on serpentine or limestone, probably a parasite of some Tetramesa sp. (Hym., Eurytomidae) as is the closely related H^biroi SZELÉNYI (ERDOS, 1970:98).
