Mesosoma in lateral view 1.2-1.25 times as long as high. Propodeum rugose, its pair of tubercules blunt. Hind femur 2.8-3.3 times as long as broad (Figs 106-107). Hind tarsal claw as in Fig. 108. Fore wing as long as body. Pterostigma (Fig. 109) 2.6 times as long as wide and issuing r from its middle, r slightly longer than half width of pterostigma; 1-R1 somewhat longer than length of pterostigma, metacarpal vein (or 1-R1-2) one-third longer than pterostigma and reaching tip of wing (Fig. 109). Carapace.in dorsal view (Fig. 110) belly, 1.35 times as long as broad posteriorly from its middle. Sutures very faintly distinct. Second tergite clearly longer than first tergite. Carapace longitudinally striate with very few anastomoses, third tergite medio-longitudinally (or above hind excision) smooth and shiny. Hind (or apical) margin of carapace deeply excised (Fig. 111). Carapace in lateral view 2.2 times as long as high (Fig. 112, see arrows). Ovipositor sheath in ventral view 1.3 times as long as to equal in length with carapace, ovipositor sheath postariorly downcurved (Fig. 112). Body black. Antenna either entirely black or antennomeres 1-3(-4) yellowish to rusty. Legs yellow to rusty, coxae dark coloured. Tegula brownish black. Wings hyaline, pterostigma brown, veins yellow to light brown. Male. Similar to the female. Body 2.3-3.3 mm long. Host unknown. Distribution: Czechia (Snoflák I.e.), Ukraine, European part of Russia, Armenia (Tobias 1986: 176), Mongolia (Papp 1971: 65 as S. parvus). Schizoprymnus excisus (Snoflák), S. tantalus Papp and S. parvus (Thomson) are closely related with another and form a species-group by their deeply excised apical margin of carapace (Figs 111, 116, 121) and belly carapace (Figs 110, 113, 117); the three species are distinguished by the following features keyed: 1 (4) Carapace in dorsal view (Figs 110, 113) globulose. Temple in dorsal view (Fig. 104) strongly rounded. Carapace in lateral view high, 2.1-2.2 times as long as high (Figs 112, 115). 2 (3) Carapace in dorsal view (Fig. 110) slightly more globulose and apically rounded, its surface finely striate with less anastomoses. Pterostigma (Fig. 109) issuing r from its middle, pterostigma itself somewhat wide, i.e. 2.6 times as long as wide, 1-R1 somewhat longer than pterostigma. Ovipositor sheath in dorsal view clearly longer than half length of carapace (Fig. 110). Carapace in lateral view (Fig. 112) relatively high, apically truncate. Apical excision of female carapace not denticulate (Fig. 111). 9d: 2-3,3 mm o. excisus (Snoflák) 3 (2) Carapace in dorsal view (Fig. 113) slightly less globulose and apically somewhat impressed, its surface rugo-rugulose. Pterostigma (Fig. 114) issuing r distally from its middle, pterostigma itself somewhat less wide, i.e. 2.4-2.5 times as long as wide, 1-R1 as long as pterostigma. Ovipositor sheath in dorsal view hardly longer than half length of carapace (Fig. 113). Carapace in lateral view (Fig. 115) relatively less high, apically incurved. Apical excision of female carapace denticulate (Fig. 116). 9d: 1.9-2.4 mm S. tantalus Papp
