rl directed outward or oblique to fore margin of pterostigma (Fig. 18). Notaulix in­dicated by dense rugulosity. Outer side of hind coxa always rugulose-subruguloee. Hind femur black. Pterostigma brown, brownish to yellowish brown. c^: 3-3.2 mm, 6: 2.8-3. 1 mm. - Greenland (Denmark) C. eliniae sp. n. 10 '9) Pair of hind tibial spurs subequal in length, inner spur slightly longer than outer spur and at most as long as half of basitarsus (Fig. 25). Pterostigma wide, 2. 5-2.7 times as long as wide and issuing! radial vein somewhat distally from its middle; rl not directed outward or perpendicular to fore margin of pterostigma (Fig. 26). Notaulix faintly indicated by somewhat roughened punctures. Outer side of hind coxa usually smooth, less frequently uneven to roughened, yi: 2. 5-3.2 mm. - Palaearctic Region, introduced into (and established in the) Nearctic Region: USA, eastern Canada C. melanoBcelus (Ratzeburg, 1844) APPENDK The following short report of the geographic situation as well ss of collectings in Sco­re sby su nd (Greenland) is given by Mle D. Elin (French Polar Institute, Amiens) after her description in a leaflet sent out to the research fellows: Description of the locality - The entomological samples were taken in Sco­re sbysund area: 70°30' NL and 21°57' 30" WL. The locality was situated 3 km north of the village; it was composed of 6 parcels fitted out with our material for gathering of the in­sects. These research stations are distributed on one side with SE orientation, in an altitude of 160 m overhanging the lake. A small stream named "Kük" rises from the lake. The soil is a composite of clay, alluvium and sand over a platform of gneiss. The main wind is orient ed ENE. The Phanérogame vegetation is dominated bv the following species. Herbaceous plants: Vaccinium uliginosum, Empetrum nigrum. Polygonum viviparum. Trees and shrubs: Betula nana, Dryas octopetala. Rhododendron lapponlcum, Salix glauca. Collecting method - The taking of insect samples were carried out by D. Elin between 20th June and 3rd September 1985 participant of the scientific expedition organised by the French Polar Institute. They were caught in traps: opaque yellow receptacles which contained water mixed with ethylene-glycol as a wetting agent and fixing bath. After rinsed with distilled water, the insects were stored in 70% alcohol in vials. REFERENCES CRESSON, E.T. (1872): Descriptions of North American Hymenoptera, No. 3. - Can. Ent., 4(5): 81-84.
