5 (2) Malar space much shorter than, i.e. about half as long as, basal width of mandible (Fig. 21, see arrows). In frontal view face as wide as eye (Fig. 24, see arrows). Ovipositor sheath about as long as hind tibia. Temple in dorsal view constricted (Fig. 23). Body brownish yellow with black pat­tern on metasoma (sides of tergites 1-2, second suture). Legs pale yellowish. Antenna with 23-24 flagellomeres. Mesonotum finely though densely granulate. Pterostigma wide, 3-3.5 times as long as wide and issuing radial vein from its middle, rl a bit longer than r2 (Fig. 26). Two keels of first tergite near to each other (like that of A. unicolor); second tergite 1.66 times as broad as long, broadest at its hind end; third tergite twice as broad as long and its hind margin truncate; tergites with longitudinal striation, interstriations rugulose and subshiny. Propodeum areolated as in Fig. 25. 9 <?: 2.5-3 mm. - India, Indonesia, Philippines. A. psychidivorus MUESEBECK, 1935 6 (1) Pterostigma issuing radial vein distinctly proximally from its middle (Fig. 19 in NlXON 1950: 472; Figs 9,13). 7 (10) rl relatively short, i.e. as long as width of pterostigma (Fig. 19 in NIXON 1. c, Fig. 9). Second ter­gite at most moderately broadening posteriorly (Fig. 12 in NIXON 1950: 459, Fig. 10). Colour of body not uniformly blackish, i.e. with at least fulvous pattern. 8 (9) Malar space somewhat longer than basal width of mandible or two-fifths as long as height of eye. Ovipositor sheath relatively long, about two-thirds as long as hind tibia. Hind margin of third tergite widely emarginate; second tergite moderately broadening posteriorly (Fig. 12 in Nixon 1. c). "Propodeum sharply areolated; on each side of an elongate 5-sided area are two other areas, separated by a sharp transverse keel; of these two lateral areas, the anterior is a little larger than the posterior" (NlXON 1950: 471). "Variable in colour but the abdomen nearly always evenly dark brown; head and thorax usually fulvous with sometimes the propodeum, the postscutellum and the sides of the scutellum flushed with darker colouring; ... stigma faintly paler on about proxi­mal thord. Legs yellowish throughout" (NlXON 1950: 470). 9 d* : 2.3-3 mm. - India, Sri Lanka A. lompos Nixon, 1950 1 9 (8) Malar space as long as basal width of mandible or one-fourth as long as height of eye. Ovoposi­tor sheath relatively short, half as long as hind tibia. Hind margin of third tergite semicircularly excised (Fig. 11); second tergite indistinctly broadening, i.e. almost parallel sided (Fig. 10). Propodeum areolated as in Fig. 8. Body uniformly reddish yellow, pterostigma evenly opaque yellowish, legs fulvous yellow. Antenna with 20 flagellomeres. Temple in dorsal view less rounded, eye only one-third longer than temple (Fig. 7). 9: 2.6 mm. - Philippines. A. pugnatus sp. n. 10 (7) rl relatively long, i.e. somewhat longer than width of pterostigma (Fig. 13). Second tergite dis­tinctly broadening posteriorly, its hind end one-third wider than its base (Fig. 14). Hind margin of third tergite moderately concave (Fig. 15). Ovipositor sheath two-thirds as long as hind tibia. Temple in dorsal view constricted characteristically in an oblique form, eye 1.66 times as long as temple (Fig. 12). Body uniformly brownish black, legs and antenna yellow throughout. Pterostig­ma brownish with a basal pale yellow spot. 9: 3 mm. - India A. topali sp. n. SUBFAMILY EXOTHECINAE / LYSITERMINI Acanthormius ASHMEAD Acanthormius ASHMEAD, 1906: Proc. U. S. natn. Mus. 30: 200, type sp.: Acanthormius japonicus ASHMEAD, 1906. Since my artical discussing three new Acanthormius species (PAPP 1986) further five species have been described by S. BELOKOBYLSKU (1986,1988) from the USSR (1 species) as well as from Taiwan (4 species). Among the braconid wasps collected re­cently by my colleague, Dr. GY. TOPÁL, in India I found two species of Acanthormius Only the original description (NIXON, 1950) of this species is known to roe.
