3 (4) First tergite relatively large and somewhat broadening posteriorly; second tergite more transverse, 2.5-2.8 times wider behind than long medially (Fig. 60). Ovipositor sheath exserted well beyond end of metasoma, apically somewhat incrassate and here with stiff hairs (Fig. 61). For further details see couplet 68 (69) A. hyphantriae RILEY, 1887 (Î) 1 ) 4 (3) First tergite relatively smaller and distinctly broadening posteriorly; second tergite less transverse, about twice as wide behind as long medially (Fig. 69). Ovipositor sheath exserted, tapering to pointed apically, with upstanding hairs (Fig. 70). For further details see couplet 72 (73) A. scabriculus REINHARD, 1880 (Ü) 1 ) 5 (2) Third tergite smooth to polished, tergites 1-2 rugose. 6 (9) Inner spur of hind tibia longer than half basitarsus, pair of spurs clearly unequal in length (Fig. 4). Pterostigma long, 2.5-3 times as long as wide, issuing radial vein distinctly distally (Figs 5, 9). 7 (8) First tergite as long as wide at hind, distinctly broadening posteriorly (Fig. 7). Pterostigma 2.5-2.7 times as long as wide, i.e. in comparison to A. judaicus pterostigma somewhat less long (Fig. 5). d2 only somewhat, 1.1-1.2(-1.3) times longer than dl, i.e. nervulus issuing rather near to middle of d (Fig. 6). Hind femur somewhat less thick, 3.5 times as long as broad (Fig. 8). Ocelli relatively small, hind imaginary tangent to fore ocellus either touching or just before hind pair of ocelli. Tegulae black, very rarely brownish yellow or brown. Wings hyaline. 9(/: 2.8-3 mm, usually 2.8 mm. — Palaearctic Region. (= difficilis NEES, 1834, syn. n.) 2) A. cajae (BOUCHÉ, 1834) (!!) 2 > 8 (7) First tergite about 1.3-1.4 times longer than wide at hind, hardly broadening posteriorly and with slightly arched sides (Fig. 10). Pterostigma thrice as long as wide, i.e. in comparison to A cajae pterostigma somewhat longer (Fig. 9). dl distinctly 1.5-1.8(-2) times longer than dl, i.e. nervulus issuing far from middle of d (Fig. 11). Hind femur rather thick, thrice as long as broad (Fig. 12). Ocelli relatively large, hind imaginary tangent to fore ocellus cutting hind pair of ocelli. Tegulae brownish yellow to yellow. Wings infuscate. 9ö* : 2.8-3.1 mm. — Isreal, Hungary A. judaicus PAPP, 1970 (! !) — Pterostigma less long, 2.1-2.5 times as long as wide. First tergite slightly more broadening posteriorly. Scutellum smooth. Third femur somewhat less thick, 3.2-3.3 times as long as broad. Otherwise similar to A. judaicus (and A. spurius). Q rf : 2.8-3.2(-3. 5) mm. — Nearctic Region (western Canada and USA) A. electrae VIERECK, 1912 (!) — Pterostigma less long, 2-2.5 times as long as wide; metacarp distinctly longer than pterostigma. Hind basitarsus relatively short, as long as hind tarsal joints 2-3. Scutel,) (!) = I have studied authenticated specimen(s), i.e. specimens identified by MARSHALL, NIXON, REINHARD, TELENGA, TOBIAS, WILKINSON (Palaearctic Region), and MARSH, MASON, MUESEBECK, WATANABE (Nearctc and East Palaearctic Region). (!!) = I have studied either the holotype or paratype(s). J) The synonymy of A. difficilis(NEES) with A. cajae (BOUCHÉ) was mentioned by NEES himself(1834: 403). Both names were erected in 1834, however, the type of A. cajae still exists and is deposited in the Berlin Museum; in this museum there are two female specimens wich I identified in 1986 as A. cajae, and D. S. Wilkinson identified them in 1936 as A. difficilis, and on the pin of one specimen he attached the label "Type". I do not consider these specimens as original type material from Klug's Collection (sec also SHENEEELT 1972: 490), consequently, the name A. cajae (BOUCHÉ) is valid and A. difficilis (NEES) is suppressed in synonymy: Microgaster cajae BOUCHÉ, 1834: Naturg. Insect, p. 151 o , type loc: Berlin, Germany (in the original description not indicated), lectotype in Zoologisches Museum, Berlin. Microgaster difficilis NEES, 183 X: Hym. lehn, affin. Mon. 1: 182 o , type loc: "Berolini" (Germany), syntype(s) destroyed syn. n.
