longer than the two following tergites combined, 2 nd —5 th tergite subequal, 6 th longer, a little shorter than 1 st ; basal tergites smooth, the terminal two tergites faintly reticulate. Length : 1.96 mm. Holotype : Hungary, Mátra : Saskó'-Disznókő, 13. IX. 1949. Male not seen. Host unknown. Differs from H. (P.) stipae Erd. & Nov. and from H. (P.) pulchripes by the dusky discal ciliae of the fore wings and the form of the funicle ; from the latter also by the form of the first funicle joint. The position of this species in this genus is to some extent questionable! Homoporus (Phaenacrinodes) Kurdjumovi sp. n. Female. Head and thorax dull metallic blue, nearly black, mandibles brown, palpi dusky, antennae brown, proximal third of scape and club yellowish ; propodeum more blue, tegulae brown ; coxae brown with metallic bluishtint, femora brown, knees yellow, fore tibiae nearly all over yellow, the middle and hind ones brownish, gradually yellowish only at the distal third, tarsi yellow, claws brown ; abdomen brown, without metallic tint. Head wider than thorax (1 : 1,2), strongly transverse, almost twice as wide as long (1 : 1,8). Ocellocular line hardly less than the ocellar line ; hind ocelli about as far from the eye margin as from the hind margin of the vertex ; temples (seen from above) somewhat less than half the width of the eyes ; head seen from front distinctly broader than high, sharply reticulate all over, clypeal area convergently striate ; cheeks distinctly longer than half the length of the eyes ; left mandible with three teeth, the third tooth very broad and truncate at apex ; right mandible with four teeth ; labial palpi with two, maxillary palpi with four joints. Antennae inserted a little below the middle of the face, distinctly above the lower eye margin ; scape cylindrical, slender, somewhat longer than the pedicel and the two ring joints and funicle 1 and 2 together ; pedicel one and a half times as long as wide, a little shorter than funicle 1 ; two small, strongly transverse ring joints present ; funicle very slightly broadened distally, each joint covered with closely fitting whitish hairs, the length of the latter much less than half the width of the respective joint ; funicle joints subequal, the first joint one and a half times as long as wide, the 6 th joint a little longer than wide ; club about as long as the two preceding joints together, distinctly segmented, the third joint tapering to a long, slightly curved stylus at apex. Thorax one and a half times as long as broad (1 : 1,5) sharply and more densely reticulated than the head and less shining ; this sculpture on the propodeum much more shallow, especially at the lateral angles, the propodeum consequently strongly shining. Pronotum short, almost vertically abrupt anteriorly and tending to form a sharp margin above in the middle ; mesoscutum strongly transverse, parapsidal grooves at the anterior third clearly indicated ; scutellum as long as wide, distinctly shorter than the mesoscutum ; propodeum moderately declining, with distinct median carina ; spiracles ellypsoidal, nearly touching hind margin, spiracular sulci very faintly indicated ; lateral angles with a few whitish hairs ; neck distinct but very short, about a third the length of the propodeum. Legs slender, middle and hind femora less than twice as broad as the respective tibiae ; wings reaching the tip of the abdomen, hyaline,
