than broad, r\ emitting distally from its middle, r\ and cuqui equal in length with each other, d\ shorter than dl (Fig. 78). Tergite 1 parallel-sided (Fig. 79). Ovipositor sheath short, as long as hind tarsal joints 1-2. Alar venation almost colourless. 9ö*

: 3-3.2 mm. — Hungary A. probatus PAPP, 1973 (!!) 54 (53) Head (in superior view) as wide as thorax. Outer surface of hind tibia with rather disperse and sharply pointed spines (Figs. 58, 80). D\ at most one-fifth to one-sixth times wider than high; stigma with a distinctly separated basal light spot (Figs. 81, 84, 89). 55 (56) Metacarp either slightly shorter than or as long as length of stigma, its basal spot hardly distinct; normally metacarp distinctly longer than length of stigma and latter evenly brown (Fig. 59). Further details see at couplets 30 (31) and 91 (92) A. sicarius MARSHALL, 1885 56 (55) Metacarp distinctly shorter than length of stigma and latter with a distinct basal light spot (Figs. 81, 84, 89). 57 (58) Metacarp always longer than its distance from apex of radial cell, usually oneand-a-third times longer than distance above (Fig. 81). Nervellus of hind wing more incurved (Fig. 82). Head avobe (Fig. 19) and mesonotum dull owing to micro-sculpture of interspaces among shallow and dense punctation (Fig. 15). Ocelli small, distance between fore and a hind ocelli equal with (or slightly greater than) diameter of hind ocellus. Penultimate joint of antenna one-anda-quarter times longer than broad. Face transverse, dull, its surface with similar sculpture as in that of mesonotum. Middle field behind hardly wider than lower field behind on side of pronotum. Two spurs of hind tibia equal in length, and half as long as (or minutely longer than) basitarsus. First tergite somewhat longer than wide at hind, hind margin of second tergite less sinuate (Fig. 83). Ovipositor sheath about as long as third tibia. Tegulae yellow or yellow with brown basal spot. 9c/

: 2.8-3 mm. — Germany, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Sardinia, Crete, Turkey, Jordan A. litae NIXON, 1972 (!!)* 58 (57) Metacarp always shorter than its distance from apex of radial cell (Figs, 84, 89). Nervellus of hind wing less incurved (Fig. 88). Head above and mesonotum shiny, interspaces without any microsculpture. Ocelli large, distance between fore and a hind ocelli somewhat shorter than diameter of hind ocellus (appreciable under x 100). 59 (60) Stigma relatively large, 2.3 times as long as broad, r\ emitting distally from its middle and r\ only somewhat longer than cuqui, dl (sligthly) less than twice as long as d\ (Fig. 84). First tergite hardly widening behind, rather only a quarter longer than wide at hind, third tergite twice as long as second one (Fig. 85). Middle field behind one-and-a-half times wider than lower field behind on side of pronotum (Fig. 86). Ovipositor sheath shorter than third tibia, straight and relatively wide (Fig. 87). 9 : 4 mm. — Algeria A. gallicolus (GIRAUD, 1869) (!!)** 60 (59) Stigma relatively small, 2.5-2.7 times as long as broad, r\ emitting almost from its middle and nearly twice longer than cuqui, dl twice as long as dl (Fig. 89). First tergite with subparallel sides, rather a third longer than wide at hind, * A. litae NIXON is very similar to A. appellator TEL. ; for further remarks see footnote on page 276. ** Since its description known only on the basis of its holotype.
