Mineo, G.: Studies on the Scelionidae (Hymenoptera) XIX. A revision of the Ethiopian species of Gryon Haliday: the pubescens-group

Gryon rugulosum (FOUTS) Q rf (Figs 2, 4, 10, 14, 23, 26, 37-40) Hadronoius rugulosus FOUTS, 1934, Mem. Soc. Ent. Ital., 13:103 9. Gryon rugulosum: BIN, 1974, Entomophaga, 19: 463. 9 . The characters mentioned in the key in addition to the original description and Figs 2, 4, 10, 14, 26, 37-38) of this work are sufficient to recognize this species; yet I would like to add some further characters. Head from above 3.3 times wider than long (33: 10); POL, OOL ratio as 10: 2; ios = 16; ms = 8.5; ixb as 16x15. 6 nov. Colour as in female with which it is essentially identical in all other respects excluding the antenna (see Fig. 28) and for the rugulae on T2 that are a little shorter than in female; Ixb as 15X 12. Copulatory organ as in Figs 39-40. -— Length 1.4 mm. Material examined. •— Holotype 9 : preserved in Firenze. — The following material was collected by DR. F. BIN in Somaliland: 10 99 +1 <s (1 <3 III. 1977, 1 ç II. 1977, 4 99 IV. 1977, 2 5$ +1 o* VIII. 1978, 1 d* IX. 1978. The following specimens were collected by Dr. M.

CHAPMAN, Pres. by Com. Inst. Eng. B. M. 1958-655. 1 9 , S. Africa, Zululand, Eshow, VI. 1926, B. M. 1926-1297, R. E. TURNER. Distribution : Kenya, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Somaliland, S. Africa. Tanzania, Zimbabwe. Host and biology. — As mentioned above G. rugulosum, parasitizes M. jaculus, its biology is unknown. Variability. — Variation in colour occurs mainly in the middle and hind tibiae as well as in the scape. In the former, from entirely ochraceous to brown or dark in the middle surface; in the latter, from ochraceous in the proximal and distal surface to entirely dark. Figs 22-24. Morphology of back of head (X184), cl = line of conjuction, hyoc = hyperoccipital carina, iepos = inner edge of postoccipital sulcus, mc = marginal carina, oc = occipital carina, oepos = outer edge of postoccipital sulcus, ptp = posterior tentorial pit, sgp = subgenal process (after MINEO & VILLA 1982): 22 = Gryon saxatile (KIEFFER) 9 , 23 — G. rugulosum (FOUTS), note absence of marginal carina, 24 = G. scutidepressi sp. n. $ . — Figs 25-27.
