(antennái socket, frons, vertex) polished. Length of antennái joints 15-17 subcubic to cubic, their length to width as 7—6.5—6-6.5 : 6 ( X 100). Thorax 1.3 times longer than high, ratio of its length to height and width as 48 : 33 : 30 ( X 40). Mesonotum antero-posteriorly punctate to subpunctate, interspaces shiny and rather greater than diameter of punctures. Scutellum subpunctate, shiny. Propodeum rather transversely scrobiculo-rugose, its median carina salient, lateral ones not so distinct. Mesopleura polished, its anterior fourth punctate. Inner (and longer) spur of 3rd tibia half as long as basitarsus (23-25 : 44-46, x 100). Abdomen as long as thorax. Tergite 2 transverse, more than thrice as wide as long (58-60 : 18, x 100) (Fig. 25). Hypopygium strong, laterally creased. Ovipositor sheath two-thirds as long as hind tibia. Body black. Mandible dark, basal part black, otherwise rusty brown. Palpi brown. Tegula black. Wings subhyaline, veins and stigma brown to blackish brown. Coxae and trochanters black, basal third to half of femur 1, basal three-fourths of femur 2, and femur 3 entirely black, distal half of femur 3 with reddish rusty suffuse. Other parts of legs reddish yellow. End of 3rd tibia and entire 3rd tarsus blackish fumous. Lower half of hypopygium yellow to brownish yellow. Male and host unknown. Locality. Mittelgobi aimak: Delgerchangaj ul Gebirge, 6 km S von Somon Delgerchangaj, 1650 m, 11. VII. 1967 (Nr. 908), 2 $ (1 9 holotype + 1 O paratype). Holotype and paratype deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest; Hym. Typ. No. 2360 (holotype), and 2361 (paratype). Microgaster deprimator (FABR.) — In all respects agreeing with the European representatives. Frequent to common in the Palaearctic Region. My previous contribution of this species (PAPP 1967: 201) refers to. M. procera RUTHE (see below). Locality. Bulgan aimak: Namnan ul Gebirge, 23 km NW von Somon Chutag, 1150 m, 21. Vn. 1968 (Nr. 1135), 1 Ç. Microgaster ductilis NIXON — Tibia 3 hardly darkening distally. Rugosity of tergites 1- 2 somewhat weaker than that of paratype seen. Described from Finland (NIXON 1968), recently found in Hungary (PAPP 1976:110), New to the fauna of Mongolia. Locality. Archangaj aimak: Changaj Gebirge, 8 km W von Somon Urdtamir, 1620 m, 19. VI. 1966 (Nr. 540), 1 $. Microgaster erro NIXON — Mesonotum with relatively strong punctation, interspaces more and more spacious posteriorly. Distance between fore and a hind ocelli just shorter than (greatest) diameter of an ocellus. Ovipositor rather two-thirds as long as 3rd tibia. Difficult to distinguish from M. curvicrus THOMS. Widely distributed in the Palaearctic Region (Finland, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, ÎCyprus, USSR), new to the fauna of Mongolia. Localities. Central aimak: Tosgoni ovoo, 6-10 km N von Ulan-Baator, 1700 m, 7-8. VI. 1968 (Nr. 938), 1 çf ; Bogdo ul, Bugijn az achuj, 1650 m, 10. VI. 1968 (Nr. 939), 1 0. —- Bulgan aimak:7 km NW T von Somon Çhanzargalant, 1350 m, 16. VI. 1968 (Nr. 967), 1 $. — Uvs aimak: zwischen dem See Örög nuur und der Stadt Ulaangom, 2- 7 km OSO vom Pass Ulaan davaa (60-65 km NW von Ulaangom,) 1690-1950 m, 28. VI. 1968 (Nr. 1032), 1 $. — Bajan-Ölgij aimak: im Tal des Flusses Chavcalyn gol, 25 km O von Somon Cagaannuur, 1850 m, 3. VH. 1968 (Nr. 1065), 1 $. — Total 5 specimens (4 $ + 1 çf). Microgaster cf. fischeri PAPP — I had reported this species from Mongolia (PAPP 1971b), the Specimens (2 çf) are the same as the representatives in Europe. My four new specimens at hand (2 9 + 2 çf), however, deviate from the nominate forms. Namely mesonotum of nominate forms relatively with strong rugulo-punctation, and scutellum with discrete (but not strong) punctures — that of forms at hand with much weaker sculpture both on mesonotum and scutellum, hind third (or nearly half) of mesonotum almost smooth, scutellum weakly punctated. Otherwise they agree with the nominate forms.
