Genitalia with penis valves not longer than paramere (Fig. 2), rounded apically, with more chitinized and separated hairy appendices on paramere ; basal process of gonoforceps long, very narrow and Fig. 2—4. Mesitius hungaricus KIEFFER, 2 : genitalia, ventral view, 3 : labial and 4 : maxillary palpi sinuate, exterior edge membranous and pointed, lamina volsellaris hardly separable, digitus very characistically recurved and more chitinized.

Insect., 76. p. 19 Mesitius fuscicornis fuscicornis : 1914, KIEFFER, Das Tierreich, 41. p. 301 çf According to KIEFFER'S original diagnosis the localities of this species are as follows: "Patrie. Hongrie (SZÉPLIGETI)." The specimen in Mus. Budapest therefore can be regarded as the holotype, with the following data: "Budapest, Gellérth.", ,10. VII. 1895 SZÉPLIGETI", "Mesitius fuscicornis K. c?" in BIRÓ'S writing (rose label) (mouth parts and genitalia on celluloid, right antenna missing), Hym. Type •No. 63. KIEFFER'S diagnosis is to be corrected as: "yeux égaux aux joues ou à leur distance du bord occipital" in reality eyes distinctly nearer to mandibles than to occiput
