with rather sparse long hairs, without notauli; mid lobe prolonged, covering base of scutellum; scuto-scutellar grooves covered by numerous hairs. Mesopleura smooth. Scutellum (Fig. 36) almost smooth but rather densely hairy, triangular in dorsal view, somewhat excavated postero-laterally, almost ending in a fine tooth. Metapleura with whitish pilosity all over. Propodeal carinae short and low, transverse area in between without sculpture. Fore wing just or hardly reaching apex of metasoma, clear but rather densely hairy, 2.75 times as long as wide; marginal cilia at most 0.1 width of wing. Hind wing with two frcnal hooks, about 6 times as long as wide; marginal cilia one-third the width of wing. Metasoma (Fig. 37) 1.4-1.6 times as long as head and mesosoma combined, hardly as wide as thorax. Tl with two longitudinal carinae. T2 hardly sculptured, at most with very faint wrinkles on slope of basal foveae, and medially at extreme base a few wrinkles. T3 and T6 smooth; T4-T5 with longitudinal sculpture, smooth anteriorly and posteriorly; apical tergites convex (e.g. T5 medially 1.7 times as wide as high), with some fine superficially implanted hairs. Sternite 2-humped at base. Male — Unknown. Holotype — Female: Spain, Canary Islands, Tenerife, E Bajamar, 10.XII. 1984., on various flowering shrubs. Martin Boness leg. Preserved in the Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Denmark. Paratype: 1 female same data, preserved in the Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, Hungary. An unmistakable species on account of pointed scutellum combined with long and smooth metasoma. Synopeas weaveri sp. n. (Figs 38-39) Female — Length: 1.7 mm. Colour black, antennae and legs yellowish red; coxae, apex of middle femur, thickened part of hind femur and of middle and hind tibiae, and last segment of all tarsi, more or less black. Head from above 1.75 times as wide as long, hardly as wide as thorax, reticulate-coriaceous and slightly shiny on occiput and vertex, more dull and roughly sculptured on frons which also has scattered irregular wrinkles on lower half; occipital carina faintly indicated. Posterior ocelli separated from eye by their diameter; OOL:POL:LOL = 3:15:7. Head from front 1.1 times as wide as high. Antenna (Fig. 38) with Al 0.8 times as long as height of head. Mesosoma (Fig. 39) 1.5 times as long as wide, as wide as high. Sides of pronotum reticulate-coriaceous except along lower and hind margins. Mesoscutum smooth, reticulate-coriaceous laterally, with sparse appressed hairs; notauli seen from some angles wanting, from some angles complete, in fact mid lobe just at a slightly higher level than lateral lobes; mid lobe posteriorly prolonged in a fine upturned tip; scuto-scutellar grooves wide, with very few hairs. Mesopleura longitudinally striated in upper half, smooth below. Scutellum almost smooth, with denser hairs than mesoscutum, spine strong and dark, without lamella below. Metapleura smooth, with whitish pilosity except along anterior margin. Propodeal carinae dark, hardly diverging, close together, seen from above somewhat sculptured. Fore wing shorter than body (31:34), 2.8 times as long as wide, with faint brownish tint, moderately hairy, without marginal cilia. Hind wing 5.0 times as long as wide; marginal cilia hardly 0.3 width of wing.
