3. rl short, rl three times as long as rl, Cu2 long (Fig. 35). 4. Mesonotum densely granulose-shagreened. 5. Tergites 1-2 of equal length. 6. Body entirely yellow. 3. rl somewhat shorter than r2, Cu2 short (Fig. 1 in Watanabe 1968: Plate V). 4. Mesonotum smooth and shiny. 5. Second tergite 1.5 times as long first tergite. 6. Body brownish yellowish to dark brown. With the help of BELOKOBYLSKTJ'S key (1988) of the Acanthormius species of Taiwan the new species runs to A. unidens BELOKOBYLSKU

3 considering their common features as (1) mesonotum densely shagreened, (2) postero-lateral pair of tubercles of third tergite less strong, (3) small ocelli, (4) long cheek and (5) venation of fore wing (pterostigma, rl-2 and Cu2)\ the two species may be differentiated by the following features: A. gilvus sp. n. 1. Temple in dorsal view somewhat less rounded, eye 1.5 times as long as temple (Fig. 33). 2. Paired keels of first tergite strong and distict (Fig. 36). 3. Ovipositor sheath relatively long, almost as long as tergites 1-2. 4. Second tergite parallel-sided, pair of tubercles of third tergite somewhat less distinct (Fig. 37). 5. Antenna with 16 flagellomeres. 6. Body uniform yellow. A. unidens BELOKOBYLSKU 1. Temple in dorsal view somewhat more rounded, eye 1.8 times as long as temple (Fig. 57 in BELOKOBYLSKU 1988: 31). 2. Paired keels of first tergite less strong and hardly distinct (Fig. 66 in BELOKOBYLSKU 1988: 32). 3. Ovipositir sheath short, somewhat longer than first tergite. 4. Second tergite clearly broadening posteriorly, pair of tubercles on third tergite somewhat more distinct (Figs 66 and in BELOKOBYLSKU 1. a). 5. Antenna With 15 flagellomeres. 6. Body light brownish, vertex and metasoma dark. In considering my Acanthormius species described from India (PAPP 1986) A gilvus sp. n. is similar to A. balanus PAPP, 1986, their common features: (1) body throughout yellowish, (2) venation of fore wing (Fig. 5 in PAPP 1986: 346 and Fig. 35), (3) paired keels of first tergite strong and reaching its hind end, (4) sculpture of body of equal strength and quality, the two species are readily differentiated by the following features: A. gilvus sp. n. 1. Head in dorsal view subcubic, 1.6 times as broad as long, temole moderately rounded and eye 1.57 times as long as temple (Fig. 35). 2. Mesonotum densely shagreened dull. 3. First tergite as wide behind as long medially, paired keels feebly converging posteriorly (Fig. 36). 4. Hind rim of third tergite relatively wide thus its latero-posterior pair of tubercles less distinct (Fig. 37) and apically blunt (Fig. 48). A. balanus PAPP 1. Head in dorsal view transverse, 1.8 times as broad as long, temple rounded constricted and eye 1.7 times as long as temple (Fig. 7 in PAPP 1986: 346) 2. Mesonotum uneven to smooth, shiny. 3. First tergite 1.3 times wider behind than long medially, paired keels slightly though distinctly diverging posteriorly (Fig. 6 in PAPP 1. a). 4. Hind rim of third tergite relatively less wide thus its lateroposterior pair of tubercles distinct (Fig. 6 in PAPP 1. c.) and apically rather pointed (Fig. 8 in PAPP 1. a). The specie* is known to me only on the basil of its original description (BELOKOBYLSKU 1968).
