It runs to M. comblnata (Papp, 1984) and M. s of r on Nixon, 1970 with the help of my key to the Palaearctic species of the genus Microplitis Foerster 'Papp 1984). From among the Nearctic Microplitis species M. melianae Viereck, 1911 seems nearest to the males in question (Muesebeck, 1922*. Females are necessary to decide unambiguously the taxonomic problem expounded. Description of the new species The following two species are described from Greenland: Meteorus arcticus sp. n. 'Meteorinae* and Cotesia eliniae s p. n. (Microgastrinae*. Subsequent to the detailed description the new species are related to their nearest allies. The depository of the typeseries is indicated. Meteorus arcticus sp. n. (Figs 1-10) Description of the holotype <j>: Body 4.2 mm long, fore wing 4 mm long. Head in dorsal view transverse, 1. 8 times broader than long, eye one-third longer than temple, latter close behind eye shortly straight then constricted (Fig. 1). Eye in lateral view 1. 75 times as high as wide, temple somewhat shorter than eye. Ocelli relatively large, greatest diameter of a hind elliptic ocellus about half as long as POL (or CO: Huddleston 1980). OOL somewhat shorter than POL (Fig. 1). Malar space about one-third shorter than basal width of mandible. Face 1. 75 times wider than high, inner margin of eyes indistinctly converging, medially somewhat raised. Clypeus less wide than face, 2. 5 times wider than high. Tentorial pits distinct, nearer to eye than to each other. Mandible long, moderately twisted, its upper (or longer) tooth minutely shorter than that of M. rubens (Figs 2 and 14). Head polished, face rather transversely rugo-rugulose, clypeus rugo-punctate

, cheek uneven. Antenna shorter than body, about as long as head, mesosoma and half metasoma, with 25 joints. First flagellar joint 2. 5 times as long as broad apically, 22nd-23rd joints slightly longer than broad, penultimate (or 24th) joint cubic. Mesosoma in lateral view 1.43 times as long as high. Pronotum rugose, along its upper margin smooth and shiny. Notaulices crenulo-rugose, behind coalescing in a median rugose field. Median lobe of mesonotum uneven and somewhat less shiny, lateral pair of lobes almost smooth, shiny. Prescutellar furrow crenulo-rugose, scutellum polished. Propodeum reticulate-rugose, without carlnation. Mesopleuron rugose, its posterior third almost smooth, sternaulus indicated by somewhat stronger rugosity. - Legs long. Hind femur just seven times as long as broad. Hind tibia one-fifth longer than tarsus; basitarsus as long as tarsal joints 2-4. Tarsal claws simple,without basal lobe (Fig. 6). Fore wing somewhat shorter than body. Pterostigma 'Fig. 3) thrice as long as wide, issuing radial vein distally from its middle; length of radial cell along metacarp somewhat longer than that of pterostigma, second section of metacarp 'i.e. metacarp beyond distal end of radial cell) very short, rl one-third as long as width of pterostigma, slightly shorter than r2, r3 straight and approaching tip of wing; cuqul and cuqu2 diverging posteriorly, n. rec. antefurcal. Nervellus and second section of n. mediella (of hind wing) equal in length. Metasoma about as long as head and mesosoma together. First tergite (Fig. 7) strongly broadening beyond spiracles, 1. 4 times as long as broad at hind, pair of dorsal pits present; middle surface of tergite with fine longitudinal striation otherwise smooth and shiny. Second tergite a bit longer than third tergite, together with further tergites polished. Ovipositor sheath in lateral view 1. 6 times longer than first tergite and one-fifth shorter than hind tibia, ovipositor 2.4 times as long as first tergite and one-sixth longer than hind tibia.
