A. halidayi MARSH. 1. Two preapical joints of antenna cubic to subcubic. 2. Metacarp about as long as stigma, ending far before radial vein. 3. Ovipositor sheath strongly and evenly falcate, one-and-a-half times longer than hind tibia (Fig. 19, in NIXON 1972: 741). 4. Mesonotum faintly dull to dull and with extremely fine punctation. A. mirus sp. n. 1. Two preapical joints of antenna almost twice as long as wide (5.5.-6:3-3.5, x 100. 2. Metacarp much longer than stigma, ending close to radial vein (Fig. 28). 3. Ovipositor sheath feebly arched, not falcate, two-thirds as long as hind tibia. 4. Mesonotum shiny with Strong punctation. çf and host unknown. Locality: 1. Pirtó (I

Holotype and paratype deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest; Hym. Typ. No. 2385 (holotype), 2439 (paratype). Apanteles piraticus sp. n. Ç (Figs. 34-37) It is difficult to recognize as a new species, nevertheless, it is a representative of the Uneipes-group. The new taxon stands nearest to A. phaola NIXON (England, Sweden, Hungary) and A. Uneipes (WESM.) (Europe), the distinctive features are but few, though of specific value : A

. phaola NIXON 1. First tergite gradually narrowing anteroposteriorly (Fig. 25, in NIXON 1972:742). 2. r

l as long as cuqu

x (11-12:11, X100, Fig. 12). 3. Ocelli forming a relatively low triangle, hind imaginary tangent to anterior ocellus touching posterior two ocelli. 4. "Inner Spur of hind tibia very distinctly longer than outer;" (NIXON 1972: 732)*. A. Uneipes (WESM.) 1. First tergite gradually and rather feebly narrowing antero-posteriorly (Fig. 38). 2. Ovipositor sheath (nearly) as long as third tibia plus third basitarsus. 3. Prescutellar furrow reduced to a very narrow and shallow groove without any crenulation. 4. Ocelli relatively large, distance between fore and a hind ocelli shorter than diameter of an ocellus (4:6, X 100). Hind maginary tangent to anterior ocellus at least touching posterior two ocelli. 5. Hind femur reddish in any size. A. piraticus Sp. n. 1. First tergite parallel sided on its anterior half and distinctly constricted posteriorly (Fig. 37). 2. r

r distinctly longer than cuqu

x (17-18:15, XlOO, Fig. 36). 3. Ocelli forming a relatively high triangle, hind imaginary tangent to anterior ocellus distinctly before posterior two ocelli. 4. Two spurs of hind tibia equal in length. A. piraticus Sp. n. 1. First tergite parallel sided on its anterior half and distinctly constricted posteriorly (Fig. 37). 2. Ovipositor sheath shorter than third tibia, as long as two-thirds of third tibia. 3. Prescutellar furrow groovelike and with discernible fine crenulation. 4. Ocelli relatively Small, distance between fore and a hind ocelli equal with diameter of an ocellus. Hind imaginary tangent to fore ocellus distinctly before posterior two ocelli. 5. Hind femur entirely black. * The characterization of the two spurs of the third tibia is somewhat contradictory in NIXON'S paper (1972). In the description (p. 732) the relative length of spurs is as above, but in the key (p. 706) he says "inner spur of hind tibia hardly longer than outer". Length of the hind spurs of the paratype (Sweden) and, furthermore, on the Hungarian A. phaola specimens corresponds to the original description.
