ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK LVIII 1997 pp. 45-55 On some new or little known species of Belytinae from Norway (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) P. N. Buhl On some new or little known species of Belytinae from Norway (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) - The following eight species are described as new to science: Miota avia sp. n.. Cinetus breviflagellatus sp. n., C. antennatus sp. n., Aclista relativa sp. n., A. transversa sp. n., Pantoclis zorayda sp. n., Zygota caligula sp. n., and Synacra incompleta sp. n. Miota analis (Kieffer) is given the new name M. kiefferi nom. n., and the hitherto unknown male of Aclista praeclara Nixon is described. All the species dealt with below were among about 30,000 specimens of Belytinae caught in connection with a fragmentation experiment in boreal spruce forest, carried out by the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research (NINA), cf. Tommerâs and Breistein (1995). All the holotypes and most of the paratypes are deposited in the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, some paratypes in the Hymenoptera Collection of the Department of Zoology of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest); henceforth HNHM. I owe my thanks to June Breistein (NINA, Trondheim), and to Lars Ove Hansen (Zoological Museum, University of Oslo) for sending me the specimens. Miota avia sp. n. (Figs 1-2) Female. Length: 2.4 mm. Runs to M. ("Leptorhaptus") transiens (Nixon, 1957) in Nixon's (1957) key, but M. avia has A14 1.9 times as long as wide (Fig. 1), Tl 2.1 times as long as wide (Fig. 2), and gaster as wide as in M. macrocera (Kieffer, 1910). M. transiens has A14 about 1.6 times as long as wide, Tl 2.5 times as long as wide, and gaster longer and narrower than in M. macrocera. Furthermore, M. avia has A4 shorter than Al (9:10), M transiens has Al and A4 of equal length, cf. fig. 251 in Nixon (1957). Male. Darker than female. A3 one and a third times as long as Al, with a weak emargination hardly covering basal two-fifths; A13 2.5 times as long as wide. Petiole two and a quarter times as long as wide. Holotype female: Norway (EIS 97), NTI, Mosvik, Kilen 25. VII-14. VIII. 1994, Malaise trap (NINA leg.). Caught at station 25 in the area with fine grained fragmentation, cf. Tommerâs and Breistein (1995). Paratypes (2 males): Same locality as holotype 1-25. VII. 1994, Malaise trap (NINA leg.), 1 male at station 17 in the area with coarse grained fragmentation, 1 male at station 14 in the area with fine grained fragmentation. One male paratype (st. 17) is deposited in the HNHM.
