Papp, J.: A survey of the European species of Apanteles Först. (Hymenoptera, Braconidae: Microgastrinae), X. The glomeratus-group 2 and the cultellatus-group

(Fig. 26); both tergites usually rugosc-rugulose laterally, otherwise smooth and shiny. Penultimate joint of antenna usually 1.5-1.6 times, rarely 1.7-1.8 times, as long as broad. Spinules on outer-upper surface of hind tibia somewhat less numerous and somewhat more prickly in comparison to next species A. gades (Fig. 29). Black, legs reddish yellow, coxae 1-2 brownish black, coxa 3 black, hind femur with variable infuscation. Tegula black, sometimes yellow or brown. Wings hyaline or subhyaline, pterostigma brown or opaque brown. 9o*

: 2.5-3 mm. See also couplet 37 (38). — Europe. (= complanatus LYLE, 1916) A. abjectus MARSHALL, 1885 (!) — A strongly built species. Hind half of first tergite rugose, only second tergite smooth and laterally uneven, both tergites glistening. Pterostigma long, thrice as long as wide, issuing radial vein clearly distally from its middle. Mesonotum rather densely punctate, notaulix indicated by crowded sculpture. Metasoma reddish yellow, only tergites 1-2 black or dark brown, third tergite fuscous medially, last two tergites dark. (A. abjectus: pterostigma about 2.2-2.3 times as long as wide, issuing radial vein less distally from its middle (Fig. 28); notaulix not indicated; metasoma entirely black.) Qçf : 2.5-3.2 mm. — Japan A. amphypyrae WATANABE, 1934 (!!) — Sculpture of tergites 1-2 weak, shiny; first tergite somewhat, i.e. 1.2 times, longer than wide at hind. Otherwise very similar to A. abjectus. Q : 2.5 mm. —• Japan A. aphae WATANABE, 1934 (!) — First tergite somewhat more narrowing basally, i.e. tergite less subquadrate. Notaulix indicated by slightly crowded punctation. Tegula yellow. Otherwise similar to A. abjectus. Q çf '• 2.5-2.7 mm. — Nearctic Region (USA : New Jersey) A. cerurae MUESEBECK, 1926 (!) 28 (27) Second tergite less transverse, about 2.2-2.4 times wider behind than long, its hind margin strongly sinuate; first tergite slightly larger, widest at its middle (Fig. 30); both tergites polished. Penultimate joint of antenna usually twice, rarely 1.7-1.8 times, as long as broad. Spinules on outer-upper surface of hind tibia somewhat more numerous and somewhat less prickly in comparison to previous species A. abjectus (Fig. 31). Colour of body agreeing with that of A. abjectus. Pterostigma with a weak to almost indistinct pale basal spot. ÇQ* : 3-3.2 mm. — Germany, Hungary A. gades NIXON, 1974 (!!) — Inner spur of hind tibia shorter than half basitarsus. rl clearly longer than cuqul, issuing more distally from pterostigma. Qçf : 2.6-2.8(-3) mm. (A. gades: inner spur of hind tibia longer than half basitarsus, rl slightly longer than cuqu/, issuing less distally from pterostigma.) — Nearctic Region (Canada, USA) A. smerinthi RILEY, 1881 (!) 29 (24) First tergite less subquadrate in form, its median length somewhat, i. e. 1.2-1.25 times, longer than hind width (Figs 33, 37). Metacarp somewhat though clearly shorter than pterostigma, radial vein issuing from middle of pterostigma (Fig. 38.) Pair of hind spurs equal in length (Fig. 32). 30 (31) First tergite hardly broadening posteriorly (Fig. 33); third tergite only somewhat longer than second tergite. In lateral view field of ocelli somewhat more prominent, temple (behind eye) slightly narrowing ventrally (Fig. 34). Ocelli small, distance between fore and a hind ocelli greater than diameter of an ocellus, hind pair of ocelli somewhat nearer to eye than to each other, i.e. POL >• OOL (Fig. 35). Penultimate joint of antenna 1.5 times as long as broad. Cu of hind wing relatively small, n. bas. and rl about equal in length (Fig. 36). Body brownish black
