VII. 1968 (Nr. 1145) (HNHM), Exp. KASZAB. Host records: Formica rufa L., F. sanguinea LATR., F. fusca L., F. pratensis RETZIENS, Lasius niger (L.), Camponotus sp., Polyergus sp. Elasmosoma cubiceps sp. n. (Figs. 10—12) Head large, slightly broader than thorax. Frons, vertex, temples, and occiput with coriaceous microsculpture, the temples, vertex and occiput punctured and with a moderate covering of short, white hairs. Face protuberant, its length (from the distal margin of the clypeus to the antennái bases) about 1.5 times its breadth (the least distance between the eyes); face and clypeus rather dull granular coriaceous and with copious white pubescence. Distal margin of clypeus concave, labrum prominent, shining and punctate. The distance between bases of mandibles distinctly greater than half the width of head. Eyes large and protuberant, the ventral facets exceptionally large, conspicuously larger than the small dorsal faFigs. 10-12. Elasmosoma cubiceps sp. n.: 10 = head, anterior, II = head, dorsal, 12 = whole insect, lateral.
