Apanteles mihalyii PAPP — This is the second report of the distribution of this species described from Hungary (PAPP 1973c). Tergite 1 slightly narrower than that of typespecimens, ratio of its length to basal, greatest and hind width as 19-20 : 10-11 : 11-12 : 8-9. Legs pale reddish yellow. Upper and lower margins of femur 3 more or less blackish (9 eft. Localities. Central aimak: Ulan-Baator, Zaisan im Bogdo ul, 5 km S vom Zentrum, 1600 m, 6.

I have 1 9 taken in Turkmenia (USSR). New to the fauna of Mongolia. d 1 slightly shorter in Mongolian females than in the holotype seen. Male sex new, similar to female, antenna somewhat longer than body, tergite 1 at hind weakly constricted. Only left stigma of 1 rf from locality No. 779 with a faint pale spot. Localities.

The Mongolian specimens (5 9 + 2 çf) agree with the description, an easily recognizable species by its yellow stigma (distally with brownish upper and lower margin), very short metacarp, and small field of tergite 2. The male sex similar to female, except: 1. body somewhat smaller, 2.1-2.3 mm long, and 2. hind width of median field of tergite 2 which is equal with distance between posterior corner of this field and lateral margin of abdomen (in female longer). Presumably a widely distributed species in the Palaearctic Region. New to the fauna of Mongolia. Localities. Südgobi aimak: Ostrand von Zöölön ul Gebirge, 58 km WSW von Somon Bajandalaj, 1500 m, 16.

Apanteles praepotens (HAL.) — The female specimen listed previously (PAPP 1971b: 323) as A. praepotens represents A. luctificus PAPP (see before). The specimen now at hand was compared with another one named by NIXON as A . praepotens . Locality. Uvs aimak: 3 km NO von Somon Öndörchangaj, Gebirge Chanchöehij ul, 2200 m, 11.

Apanteles rubroides PAPP — Additional remarks to complete the original description (PAPP 1971b : 324) may seem profitable : cheek relatively long, 1.7 times as long as width of mandible at base (10: 6); hypopygium extending beyond apex of abdomen.
