The CIRCUMSCRIPTUS-group Apanteles arisba Nixon, 1973 - Very similar to A. laetus Marshall, their distinctive features: A. arisba Nixon 1. First tergite more narrowing posteriorly, its apical width distinctly shorter than median length of second tergite. 2. Cubital cell (Cu) of hind wing somewhat more elongate, cul distinctly 2.5 times as long as n.bas., rl and cul parallel with each other 3. Ovipositor sheath in lateral view as long as hind basitarsus. 4. Discoidal cell of fore wing usually somewhat wider than high A. laetus Marshall 1. First tergite less narrowing posteriorly, its apical width equal with median length of second tergite. 2. Cubital cell (Cu) of hind wing less elongate, cul at most twice as long as n.bas., rl and cul converging distally. 3. Ovipositor sheath in lateral view somewhat shorter than hind basitarsus. 4. Discoidal cell of fore wing usually somewhat less wider than high. Distribution: Described from England and Denmark, recently observed in Netherland, Germa ny, Austria, Hungary, Yug slavia, Greece and Egypt. New to the fauna of Hungary.

Apanteles bicolor (Nees, 1834) Microgaster bicolor Nees, 1834, Hym. lehn,aff. Mon. , 1: 181, Ç, locus typicus: "Sickerhausen" (Germany). Apanteles pedias Nixon, 1973, Bull.ent.Res., 63: 211, g í locus typicus: "Zh. Katzensee" (Switzerland), syn.n. The above synonymy is based on the examination of the neotype of A. bicolor designated by WILKINSON in 1937. The neotype was compared with a paratypic pair (1 ç + 1 cf) of A. pedias . and the latter name proved to be a junior synonym of A. bicolor (further details see in PAPP 1983). Very similar to A . circumscriptus (Nees), the main distinctive feature is its short metacarp usually as long as or, less frequently, slightly shorter than stigma (A. bicolor) and distinctly longer than stigma (A. circumscriptus) ; rl and cuqul meeting clearly angularly ( A. bicolor ) or forming a rather arched vein ( A. circumscriptus) . - Distribution: Widely distributed in Europe as far eastwards as Georgia in the USSR, though it is supported but relatively little distributional data. New to the fauna of Hungary, in our country frequent to common; and here bred from seven hosts which are new to science.
