Papp, J.: A survey of the European species of Apanteles Först. (Hymenoptera, Braconidae: Microgasterinae), V. The lacteus-, longipalpis-, ultor-, butalidis- and vipio-group
153). Ovipositor sheath at most three-fourths as long as hind tibia, less thickened (Fig. 155). Disc of mesonotum dull and with somewhat rougher punctation. 14 (15) First tergite relatively broad, 1.5-1.6 times longer than wide at middle, second tergite less narrow, thrice to four times wider than long medially, (Fig. 150). Stigma wide, 2.3-2.4 times as long as wide and emitting radial vein near distally from its middle (Fig. 151). Head in frontal view less broad, only somewhat broader than high (Fig. 149). Stigma yellow to brownish yellow. Qçf: 2.3-2.5 mm. — USSR (European part, Kasakhstan), Hungary A. mutabilis TELENGA, 1955 (!) 15 (14) First tergite relatively less broad, (1.7-)1.8 times longer than wide at middle, second tergite more narrow, four to five times wider than long medially (Fig. 153). Stigma less wide, 2.7-2.8 times as long as wide and emitting radial vein clearly distally from its middle (Fig. 154). Head in frontal view broad, distinctly broader than high (Figs. 50, 152). Stigma yellowish brown to brown with a pale basal spot. 9c/ : 2-2.5 mm. — Kazakhstan (USSR), Hungary, Yugoslavia (Korcula island) A. electilis TOBIAS, 1964 (!!) 16 (9) Inner margin of eyes subparallel to parallel, i.e. face at most slightly wider below scape than above clypeus (Figs. 51, 53, 162, 168). 17 (20) Disc of mesonotum dull and densely coriaceous to rugulose with argenteous pubescence (Fig. 56). Scutellum subshiny, with weak punctation. rl rather perpendicular (i.e. less obliquely) joining stigma (Fig. 156). First tergite moderately narrowing posteriorly, second tergite strongly pointed laterally (Figs. 157, 160). Ovipositor sheath as long as hind tibia + half basitarsus. Two spurs of hind tibia subequal, inner spur distinctly shorter than half basitarsus. 18 (19) Head behind eye rather contracted (Fig. 158). First tergite relatively broad, 1.5 times longer than wide at base (Fig. 157). Dl minutely wider than high in comparison to next species (29:21, x 100, Fig. 156). Ocelli forming a slightly higher triangle, hind imaginary tangent to anterior ocellus close before posterior two ocelli. Tegula yellow. 9 : 2.3 mm,(f: 2-2.3 mm. — Cape Verde Islands A. brevimetacarpus HEDQVIST, 1965 (!!)* 19 (18) Head behind eyes rather rounded (Fig. 159). First tergite relatively less broad, 1.7 times longer than wide at base (Fig. 160). Dl minutely less wider than high in comparison to previous species (31:24, x 100, Fig. 161). Ocelli forming a slightly lower triangle, hind imaginary tangent to anterior ocellus transecting to touching posterior two ocelli. Tegula brown to blackish. 9 : 2.5 mm, çf: 2-2.5 mm. — Cape Verde Islands A. lindbergi HEDQVIST, 1965 (!!)* 20 (17) Disc of mesonotum shiny and with shallow to extremely fine punctation; scutellum polished and at most with few disperse punctures (Figs. 52, 54-55, 58). rl obliquely joining stigma (Figs. 164, 166). 21 (24) Body relatively strong. Head behind eyes contracted (Fig. 163). Ovipositor sheath in lateral view as long as hind tibia. Antennái joints 14-17 distinctly, usually one-anda-half times, longer than broad. First tergite narrowing near from its base (Figs. 165, 167). Hind two spurs subequal, outer spur slightly longer than inner spur. 22 (23) Metacarp distinctly longer than half stigma, or distance between distal end of metacarp and tip of R nearly equal with length of metacarp itself; stigma broad, rl * The two species, A. brevimetacarpus HEDQV. and A. lindbergi HEDQV., are extremely similar to each other. A future examination of long series of each species originating from several localities may prove the two names to be synonyms. On the basis of the holotype seen they represent two species in statu nascendi. See also my remark in footnote (PAPP 1980: 257).
