usually hind femur darker. Wings subhyaline to faintly fuscous. 0 : 2.1-3 mm,^: 1.9-2.8 mm. — England, Sweden, Germany, Slovakia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Tunisia A. butalidis MARSHALL, 1888 (!) 30 (27) Inner margin of eyes subparallel to parallel, i.e. face at most slightly wider below scape than above clypeus (Figs. 75, cf. 162). 31 (38)*Second tergite rugose to rugulose, i.e. its sculpture only somewhat weaker than that of first tergite behind (Figs. 65-66, 72, 77). 32 (33) Third femur reddish yellow. Second tergite rather subrugulose to shagreened. Further details see at couplet 39 (40) A. assimilis PAPP, 1976 (!!) 33 (32) Third femur black. 34 (35) Eye in lateral view large, its width distinctly twice greater than width of temple (Fig. 177). First tergite 1.3-1.4 times longer than wide, broadest at about middle (Fig. 178). Head in dorsal view distinctly broader than mesonotum. Disc of mesonotum with fine to very fine and even punctation (Figs. 67-68). Ovipositor sheath straight and as long as hind tibia. Fore and middle tibia black with a variable reddish yellow pattern. Stigma evenly brown to blackish brown. Q-f : 2.8-3 mm. — Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria A. sophrosine NIXON, 1976 (!) 35 (34) Eye in lateral view less large, its width slightly though less than twice as great as width of temple (Fig. 179). 36 (37) First tergite anteriorly parallel- (to subparallel-) sided, its posterior third distinctly narrowing; third tergite one-and-a-half to nearly twice as long as second tergite (Figs. 180-181.) Disc of mesonotum subshiny and with fine to obsolescent punctation (Fig. 73). Ovipositor sheath usually as long as hind tibia, rather exceptionally somewhat shorter or longer, straight to feebly arched. Galea about twice as long as broad. A dark-coloured species, tibiae more or less reddish to fumous reddish. 9d*

: 2.5-3(—

3.3) mm. — Western half of the USSR, Mongolia, Korea, Turkey, Crete, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Sweden. (= contortus TOBIAS, 1964,!!, syn. n.; = crantor NIXON, 1965, !!; = erander NIXON, 1965, !!, syn. n.) A. naso MARSHALL, 1885 (!!)** 37 (36) First tergite with more or less arched sides and broadest at its middle; third tergite 1.6 to twice as long as second tergite (Figs. 76, 182). Disc of mesonotum subshiny and with fine, shallow, more or less confluent punctation, (Fig. 78). Ovipositor sheath two-thirds to three-fourths, usually three-fourths, as long as hind tibia, straight to feebly arched. Galea distinctly less than twice as long as broad. Also a dark-coloured species, tibiae rather dark fumous. 9^

: 2.2-2.8 mm. — Switzerland, Austria, Yugoslavia, Hungary A. cloelia NIXON, 1965 (!!) 38 (31) Second tergite uneven to shagreened, i.e. its sculpture distinctly weaker than that of first tergite behind (Fig. 79). 39 (40) First tergite with arched sides, broadest at about its middle, 1.8-1.7 times as long as wide at hind (Fig. 183). Ovipositor sheath narrow, as long as hind tibia (Fig. 184). Disc of mesonotum shiny to subshiny with fine to very fine punctation. Hind femur 3.9-4 times longer than broad (Fig. 185). Hind femur usually reddish yellow (9), sometimes black (9 ), or always black (rf). Stigma brown to dark brown. 9 " 2.8-3.1 mm,r/: 2.5 mm. — Mongolia A. assimilis PAPP, 1976 (!!) * The species between couplets 31 (38) and 40 (39) are extremely difficult to indentify owing to the variability of the specific features. ** See my remark on p. 278.
