First tergite subparallel-sided and narrowing only at its distal third, rl and cuqul forming a rather arched vein. Propodeum rugose-rugulose, laterally sculpture weakening. - Distribution: Azerbaidzhan (USSR) and Hungary. New to the fauna of Hungary. Localities: Debrecen, Pallagpuszta, 1 £.

Supposedly frequent in the Palaearctic Region. Localities: collected in many localities in Hungary, and the adjacent territories (Slovakia, Transylvania). - IV-Di, frequent in June-August.

panteles brunnistigma Abdinbekova, 1969 (= sotades Nixon, 1976) - Among the European species nearest to A. carpatus (Say), the two species differ mainly by the following features: A . carpatus (Say) A . brunnistigma Abdinb. 1. Antenna! joints 15-17 cubic. 1. Antennái joints 15-17 1.2-1.3 times as long as broad

. 2. Stigma short and wide, 2-2.1 times 2. Stigma usual in form, 2.6-2.8 times longer than wide. longer than wide. 3. Hind corner of propodeum projecting. 3. Hind corner of propodeum not projecting. 4. rl more or less, though distinctly, 4. rl at most slightly longer than cuqul. longer than cuqul. 5. Tegula and hind femur reddish yellow. 5. Tegula and hind femur black. Distribution: Up to now the species was known only from Azerbaidzhan. After examining a paratype of this species, kindly lent by V.l. TOBIAS (Leningrad), I could establish Its senior synonymy with A

. sotades Nixon, 1976, a paratype of the latter species was kindly loaned by T. HUDDLESTON (London). Supposedly widely distributed in the Western Palaearctic Region, now we know it from Azerbaidzhan in the USSR, Italy and England; new to the fauna of Hungary. Localities: Ágasegyháza, 1 jj>.

Apanteles carpatus (Say, 1836) - Its main specific characters see at A. brunnistigma Abdinb. A member of the ater-group though its median areola and sculpture of mesonotum represent transitional features towards the ultor-group. Distribution: a cosmopolitan species. Described from North America; supposedly originally it was either a Nearctic or a Holarctic species and during the last one-and-a-half century intro-
