Gryon rubri­gaster (SZABÓ) : 3 = female antenna, 4 = male antenna, 5 = fore wing, 6 = hind wing Gryon rubrigaster (SZABÓ) comb, n., çf new (Fig. 3-6) Pannongryon rubrigaster SZABÓ, 1966, Acta Zool. Hung., 12: 437, $ . rf. Black. 3 rd —12 th joints of antenna brownish. Pedicel ochreous brownish. Coxae black. Scape, radicola and legs ochreous dull. — Head from above about 3 times as wide as long (12 : 3.7). Ratio POL : OOL = 5.2 : 1. Anterior ocellus almost touching upper margin of frontal depression; latter deep and in the middle with a weak carina arising between antennái sockets. Malar space about 2/3 of longitudinal diameter of an eye. Mandibles bidentate. — Scape and radicola combi­ned almost as long as following six antennái joints combined. Pedicel pyriform slightly shorter than 3 rd , this latter almost pyriform ; 4 th , the thinnest of flagellum, subcylindrical, weakly longer than broad, almost as long as 5 th . Subsequent 6 joints subcylindrical, similar in shape and size; last joint conical, slightly longer than twice the preceding one. — Thorax barely longer than wide (14: 11). — Abdomen less than 1.5 times longer than wide (17.5 : 12). First abdominal tergite 4.3 times wider than long (11.5 í 2.6), striated and finely punctured. 2 nd tergite striated at base, 1.5 times broader than long (12 : 8.1), alveolate sculpturing, except hind border; 3 rd tergite almost as developed as 1 st one (11 :2.6), alutaceous. Sculpture of head and thorax as in female. Fore wing fumous and with a slightly darkish cross-band in the middle. — Length 1.2 mm. Host (probably Reduviidae) and biology unknown. Remark. — The examination of the holotype of Gryon rubrigaster (SZABÓ) suggests a very close alliance with Gryon prolongatus KOZLOV, the two names are perhaps synonymous.
