A. propensus sp. n. 1. Head in dorsal view (Fig. 38) relatively more transverse, 1.7-1.75 times as broad as long; temple slightly more constricted, eye almost three-fourth as long as temple. 2. Flagellum more filiform, i.e. flagellomeres relatively thin, first flagellomere five times and penultimate flagellomere 3.66 times as long as broad. 3. Tubercle of third tergite half as long as median length of tergite itself, hind margin of tergite faintly concave (Fig. 41). In lateral view tubercle clearly directed downwards (Fig. 42). 4. Body 2.3-2.5 mm long. A. nitidmoaim BELOKOBYLSKU 1. Head in dorsal view (Fig. 43) relatively less transverse, 1.62 times as broad as long; temple slightly less constricted, eye two-thirds as long as temple. 2. Flagellum less filiform, i. e. flagellomeres relatively thick, first flagellomere 3.7 times and penultimate flagellomere 3.3 times as long as broad. 3. Tubercle of third tergite two-thirds as long as median length of tergite itself, hind margin of tergite distinctly concave (Fig. 44). In lateral view tubercle hardly directed downwards (Fig. 45). 4. Body 1.9-2.2 mm long. SUBFAMILY ROGADINAE Yelicones CAMERON Yelicones CAMERON, 1887: Biol. centr.-amer. Hym. 1: 387, type species: Yelicones violaceipennis CAMERON (design, by VIERECK 1914:155). Pectenopius FISCHER, 1961: Ann. Naturhist. Mus. Wien 64: 156, type species: Pectenopius paradoxus FISCHER (synonymized by MARSH 1979:181). Rhopalotoma CAMERON, 1911: Timehri 1: 318, type species: Rhopalotoma crassiutrsis CAMERON. Since the description of the taxon Yelicones the species of this genus were known for a long time only from the American continent (i.e. from the Neotropic and Nearctic Regions). In 1980 TOGASHI discovered one new Yelicones species in Japan, and in 1985 PAPP described further two new Yelicones species from Korea. - All three species originate from the eastern Palaearctic Region. Though FISCHER has described his species in 1961 (from New Guinea) under the name Pectenopius paradoxus ranged in the subfamily Opiinae, the true taxonomic position of his genus Pectenopius was revealed recently and it proved to be a junior synonym of the generic name Yelicones (MARSH 1979). Hitherto the number of the described species of Yelicones is 11 which I complete with three new species from the Indo-Australian Region (2 species) as well as from the Ethiopian Region (1 species), thus the number of the Yelicones species increased to 14. It seems worthy to note that from the tropical Africa this is the first report of a Yelicones species. Below I give the list of the Yelicones species according to their distribution in the world.
