FOLIA ENTOMOLOGICA HUNGARICA ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK LXII 2001 pp. 133-149 Eleven new species of Platygastrinae (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) P. N. Buhl Eleven new species of Platygastrinae (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) — The following species are described as new to science: Leptacis bicolorata sp. n. (Honduras), L. heredia sp. n. (Costa Rica), L. laevipetiolata sp. n. (Sweden), L. muralla sp. n. (Honduras), L. propodealis sp. n. (Honduras), L. yoroensis sp. n. (Honduras), Platygaster aebeloeensis sp. n. (Denmark), P. applanata sp. n. (South Africa), P. huggerti sp. n. (Canada), P. tenerifensis sp. n. (Spain, Canary Islands) and Synopeas weaveri sp. n. (Honduras). Key words: Hymenoptera, Platygastridae, Leptacis, Platygaster, Synopeas, new species. From the Entomological Department at the Zoological Institute, Lund University (Sweden) I received in 1998 a loan of about 550 specimens of Platygastridae from all over the World, by the courtesy of Dr. Roy Danielsson. In recent papers (Buhl 2001, Buhl in press) I have described totally 48 species new to science based on the material, but its richness still is not exhausted. Below, further ten new species found in the material are described, as well as one new species I found during my survey of the natural reserve of ^Ebelo, Denmark (courtesy Aage V. Jensen Foundation). Of the new species described here, especially Leptacis propodealis, Platygaster huggerti and P. tenerifensis are noteworthy for their aberrant combinations of character states, deviating from the norms of their respective genera. Leptacis bicolorata sp. n. (Figs 1-3) Female — Length: 1.4 mm. Colour light reddish brown; vertex, mesoscutum, most of scutellum, and posterior half of metasoma blackish; Al yellowish, A2-A6 brown, A7-A10 blackish; legs uniformly yellowish. Head from above (Fig. 1) 1.7 times as wide as long, as wide as thorax, without occipital carina; occiput laterally smooth, medially finely reticulate-coriaceous; vertex finely reticulate-coriaceous, irons very faintly so. Lateral ocelli separated from eye by about half their diameter; OOL:POL:LOL = 1:12:5. Head from front hardly 1.2 times as wide as high. Antenna (Fig. 2) with A 1 fully 1.1 times as long as height of head.
