1978.VII. 22. leg. A. Orosz". The localities "Klastromalja" and "Munkács" are now belongs to Ukraine. The paratypes are deposited in the collections of the HNHM, Budapest and the Moravian Museum, ( Dr. Lauterer, Brno ). Description — Holotype: body length 3.6 mm, fore wing length 2.88 mm, fore wing width 0.75 mm. Paratypes: body length 3.3-3.96 mm, fore wing length 2.425-3.22 mm, fore wing width 0.72-0.95 mm. General remarks: A conspicuous feature of the species that its head is more conical, more pointed than that of the related P. confinis. The rate of the head width/head length (Fig. 32, A:B) of P. remanei is 1.52-1.59 for the five specimens from Germany, this rate for the specimens of P. confinis collected at the same site is 1.56-1.66. The weighted average for these two groups is 1.56 in P. remanei while 1.63 in P. confinis. This rate for the whole series of the new species is 1.56-1.66, the weighted average is 1.60. The ano-genital sector of the new species is "open" in case of the new species from caudal view, the aedeagus is clearly visible. The reason of this phenomenon is that the connectivum being short and the pygofer elongate (see Figs 33-34, 49). In the case of P. confinis the connectivum is long, extending over genital plates, its junction to aedeagus is clearly visible from caudal view; the apical part of the aedeagus is directed to the inner regions of the body (see Figs 35-36). In a few, rare cases the aedeagus of P. confinis can also be seen from caudal view (Fig. 47), but in most cases it is covered by the pygofer and the anal tube, the genital hole is caudally closed. External morphology — Figs 37-38, 40-46, 48, 50. Frons, vertex and pronotum pale ochreous brown, frons with reticulate, oblique, hazelnut-brown pattern, being symmetrical to medial line of frons. Frontal part of vertex slighly culminating, its shape and pattern are illustrated in Fig. 32. Ground colour of scutum ochreous white, with a brownish-orange spot on both sides. Forewings long, extending over tip of abdomen; transparent, with a few dark brown spots, apical cell between R and M and its vicinity with stronger markings; veins pale whitish ochreous. Dorsal surface of abdomen blackish brown, becoming slightly paler towards anal tube, upper part of pygofer and anal tube pale brown. Ventral side of first abdominal segments medially blackish brown, this colour becoming paler towards caudal portion, valve, genital plates and sides of pygofer pale brown or amber-coloured. The abdomen is more elongate than that of P. confinis, the rate of the total length (from tip of vertex to tip of fore wing)/ body length (from tip of vertex to tip of genital plates) is 1.32-1.34 in P. remanei while it is in average 1.39 for P. confinis. The configuration of the valve and the genital plates show no specific differences. Studying the ano-genital sector from lateral view, the pygofer of the new species is extending far over tips of genital plates, its apical part is rounded (Fig. 49), while the apical part of the pygofer of P. confinis is pointed, projecting towards the inner body (Fig. 47). It is clearly shown in the picture that the apical part of the pygofer does not reach the tips of the genital plates. Male genitalia (Figs 37-38, 40-46, 48, 50): Aedeagus spatulate, being typical of the genus, the width of the basal part is smaller than that of the spatula. This spatulate part (Figs 40-46, 50) resembles that of P. confinis (Fig. 39), but is somewhat shorter, narrower. The shape of the páraméra is similar in the two species, showing no distinctive features. Connectivum short, its proximal part widely open, differing strongly from the other species of the genus, having long, closed connectivum (see Figs 37- 38, 48). (The connectivum could be the only part of the genitalia where the ectoparasitoid infection, mentioned above, could result in a considerable reduction of its length).
