distinctly shorter than hind tibia, about as long as third basitarsus. Body relatively gracile. $ f : 2.4-2.6 mm. — Germany, Hungary, European USSR A. seriphia NIXON, 1972 (!!) 32 (13) First tergite posteriorly either with rather converging sides (few species, Figs. 96, 106), orwithparallel-subparallel sides (majority of species, Figs, see at couplet 2) 33 (74) Metacarp short, at most as long as stigma, usually shorter; its distance from apex of R at most somewhat shorter than its own length (Figs. 66, 72, 74, 78, 81, 84, 89, 95, 99, 103, 110). 34 (49) Stigma evenly bright yellow, at most its margin brown (Figs. 66, 72). 35 (36) Stigma proximo-distally yellow to brown, at least its distal third brown (Fig. 78). Further details see at couplet 53 (54) A. probatus PAPP, 1973 (!!) 36 (35) Stigma entirely bright yellow (Figs. 66, 72). 37 (40) Mesonotum and scutellum densely coriaceous or rugulose with argenteous pubescence. Head less coriaceous. Second tergite conspicuously transverse and pointed laterally (Fig. 64). rí rather perpedincularly (and not obliquely) joining stigma. Hind half of first tergite narrowing. Two species of the butalidis-group, however, deceptively similar to members of the laevigatus-group. 38 (39) Head behind eyes rather constricted. First tergite relatively broad, 1.3 times longer than wide at base. Di distinctly wider than high (29 : 21, x 100). Tibiae and tarsi rather vivid yellow to reddish yellow. Tegulae yellow. 0_ : 2.3 mm, çf : 2-2.3 mm. — Cape Verde Islands [A. brevimetacarpus HEDQVIST, 1965 (!!)] 39 (38) Head behind eyes rather rounded. First tergite relatively less broad, 1.5 times longer than wide at base. Di less distinctly wider than high (30 : 24, x 100). Tibiae and tarsi of less vivid colour, rather fuscous-infumate. Tegulae black. 9 : 2.5 mm, çf : 2-2.5 mm. — Cape Verde Islands [A. lindbergi HEDQVIST, 1965 (!!)] 40 (37) Mesonotum either smooth or punctated but never coriaceous or rugulose. Second tergite not conspicuously transverse and not pointed laterally. 41 (44) Maxillary palpus long, longer than height of head, however, cheek short, distinctly shorter than basal width of mandible (Fig. 65 — this feature is a transitional one towards the longipalpis-group). All tarsi shortened, not longer than tibiae, respectively; tarsal joints 2-4 of legs 1-2 cubic to subcubic. Thorax between tegulae distinctly broader than width of head. Stigma and veins as in Fig. 66. 42 (43) Head and antenna black, thorax and abdomen reddish yellow or testaceous, legs also reddish yellow to yellow. Mesonotum and mesosternum sometimes with dark spots. Ovipositor sheath half as long as abdomen. Mesonotum with Figs. 35-59. — Fig. 35. Apanteles kazak TEL. : tergites 1-2. — Figs. 36-39. A
