— First tergite less subquadrate, slightly tiiough distinctly longer than broad at hind. Second tergite less transverse, about twice wider behind than long medially. (A. abjectus: second tergite 2.8-3.2 times wider behind.) Inner spur of hind tibia shorter than half basitarsus. Tegula yellow. Ç çf : 2.6-2.8Í-3) mm. — Nearctic Region (Canada, USA) A. smerinthi RILEY, 1881 (!) 38 (37) First tergite longer than wide at hind (Figs 66-67 in PAPP 1986: 245), its hind half together with second tergite rugo-rugulose to subrugulosc. Inner spur of hind tibia shorter than half basitarsus. 39 (40) Penultimate joint of antenna subcubic to somewhat, i.e. 1.1-1.3 times, longer than broad, rl 1.4-1.5(-1.6) times as long as cuqul (Fig. 69 in PAPP 1986: 245). In lateral view hypopygium large, ovipositor sheath about as long as second joint of hind tarsus (Fig. 68 I.e.). Legs dark coloured, hind and middle femora black. Pterostigma brown. 9d* : 2.5-3.5(-4) mm.

In lateral view hypopygium less large, usual in size, ovipositor sheath at most as long as half second joint of hind tarsus. Legs yellow, coxae 1-2 brown, coxa 3 black. Tegula yellow. Pterostigma opaque yellow. Qçf : 2.5-2.8 mm. - Japan A. suzumei WATANABE, 1932 (!) 41 (36) First tergite more broadening posteriorly (Figs 45, 47). Pterostigma relatively less wide, about 2.5 times longer than wide, rl distinctly (Fig. 46) or slightly (Fig. 21) longer than cuqul. At least hind coxa black or blackish. 42 (43) First tergite 1.1-1.25 times as long as broad at hind, in comparison to next species tergite somewhat less large; second tergite somewhat less transverse, 2.8-3 times wider behind than long medially, 3rd tergite 1.3-1.4 times longer than second tergite (Fig. 45). Inner spur of hind tibia just shorter than half basitarsus. Penultimate joint of antenna 1.6-1.8 times as long as broad. Pterostigma issuing radial vein usually less distally (Fig. 46). Ocelli in a low triangle, posterior imaginary tangent to fore ocellus cutting to distinctly touching hind pair of ocelli. Legs reddish yellow, hind coxa (almost) entirely to (hardly) at its base with dark suffusion. Tergites black or frequently tergites 2-3 to 2-7 reddish to reddish yellow with more or less dark suffusion. Pterostigma usually light brown. Qrf : 2.5-3 mm. Palaearctic Region.

Inner spur of hind tibia longer than half basitarsus. Pterostigma issuing radial vein more distally (Fig. 21). Ocelli in a high triangle, hind imaginary tangent to fore ocellus at most touching hind pair of ocelli.
