Critical remarks on the Iphiaulax species I. mactator Klug The following markings vary on specimens collected in the Carpathian Basin : 1. Pro-, meso-, metanotum, prosternum, and scutellum spotted with red. 2. Mandible black. 3. Broken reddish-yellow r margin of oculi can be almost entirely wanting. 4. Abdomen spotted with black. 5. Abdomen with yellow. According to Fahringer (1928 : 204—205), this species is a variety of I. impostor Scop. On the other hand Telenga (1936 : 110) retains it as a „species bona", but he writes in his letter (1959) as follows : „The Iphiaulax mactator Klug males are unknown. Therefore some authors are apt to synonymize them with I. impostor Scop. It is really an unstudied question." I agree with Stary (1957 : 283), who regards it as a well distinguishable species on the basis of the shape of the ovipositor. Iphiaulax mactator Klug, çf nov. Face weakly rugulose, cheek densely punctato-rugulose, other surfaces of head smooth and shiny. Rostrum short : 0,1 mm, black. Pit on forehead bears a central groove. Head hairy and black. Antenna larger than body, 70—76-jointed, black. Reddish-yellow margin of oculi broken. Mandible reddish-yellow, only its tip black. Palpi black and hairy. Thorax hairy ; surface totally smooth and shiny, black. Furow well visible only on proximal half of mesonotum. Legs densely hairy and black. 2—3. coxatrochanter and trochanter-femur joints red. Wing brown, fumose, venation dark brown. Stigma brown, its base yellow. Abdomen somewhat longer than head and thorax together, red. Margin of tergite 1. broad and smooth, only proximal two thirds of scutellum rugulose. Lateral fields of tergite 2. projecting, smooth and shiny. Areas between lateral fields roughly and longitudinally rugose, only distal margin smooth and shiny. Proximal margin of tergites 3—5. rugulose, otherwise smooth and shiny together with other tergites. Length 8—9 mm. Localities : Gyón, leg. Szépligeti (Aliotypus) ; Budapest 1907, leg. Bíró; Déva, leg. Maliász (Paratypus). Remark : Differs from the male of I. impostor Scop, by the larger body size and sculpture of tergites 1—5.
