Papp, J.: A survey of the European species of Apanteles Först. (Hymenoptera, Braconidae: Microgasterinae), V. The lacteus-, longipalpis-, ultor-, butalidis- and vipio-group

The LONGIPALPIS-group The following features characterize the species of the longipalpis-groxxp: 1. Maxillar palp very long, as long as height of head in lateral view; malar space twice as long as basal width of mandible (Figs. 4, 95). 2. Vannai lobe of hind wing convex and with a fringe of hairs. 3. Hypopygium with a few longitudinal creases. 4. Mesonotum with very fine or superfical punctation. The hosts of the species of the longipalpis-group cover the following lepidopterous family: Psychidae KEY TO THE SPECIES OF THE LONG I PA LPIS-GROUP Females 1 (4) Malar space long, twice as long as basal width of mandible (Figs. 4, 95). 2 (3) First tergite subquadrate, i.e. length only slightly greater than basal width (Fig. 96). Nervellus relatively more incurved (Fig. 971). Thorax in lateral view relatively stout, only about 1.3-1.4 times as long as high. Head in dorsal view more transverse, i.e. 2.4 times broader than long; imaginary hind tangent to anterior ocellus at most touching two posterior ocelli (Fig. 98). Scutellum broad, prescutellar furrow faintly bisinuate (Fig. 99). Inner spur of second tibia slightly longer than half basitarsus. 9 •' 3.5-4 mm, rf: 3-3.8 mm. — Sporadic to frequent in the Western Palaearctic Region (= A. tadzhicus TELENGA, 1949, 9 . non rf, partim) A. longipalpis REINHARD, 1880 (!!) 3 (2) Length of first tergite greater than basal width (Fig. 100). Nervellus relatively less incurved (Fig. 101 t ). Thorax in lateral view relatively elongated, about 1.6 times as long as high. Head in dorsal view less transverse, i.e. twice broader than long; imaginary hind tangent to anterior ocellus just transecting two posterior ocelli (Fig. 102). Scutellum less broad, prescutellar furrow faintly arched (Fig. 103). Inner spur of second tibia slightly shorter than half basitarsus. 9 : 3.6 mm. — Finland A. glaberPAPP, 1978 (!!) 4 (1) Malar space short, half as long as basal width of mandible.
