Holotype is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest; Hym. Typ. No. 7357. Etymology - The species name "luridus" refers to the ground colour of body. The new species, Yelicones luridus sp. n., is related to Y maculatus PAPP, 1985 (Korea) and Y koreanus PAPP, 1985 (Korea), their separation is given in a tabular form: Y. luridus sp. n. 1. Radial cell short, along metacarp as long as length of pterostigma, r3 twice as long r2 (Fig. 62). 2. Temple in dorsal view rounded, eye 1.53 times as long as temple (Fig. 59). 3. Femora somewhat less thick, fore femur (Fig. 60) 2.7 times, hind femur (Fig. 61) 3,3 times as long as broad. 4. Antenna with 30 flagellomeres; flagellomeres relatively thin, first flagellomere distinctly twice, penultimate flagellomere 2.5 times as long as broad. 5. First tergite as long as wide at hind; second tergite transverse, 2.3 times as wide behind as long medially; tergites 1-2 rather longitudinally rugose (Fig. 63). 6. Ground colour of body pale to whitish yellow with less rich dark pattern. Y. maculatus PAPP 1. Radial cell long, along metacarp 1.5 times as long as length of pterostigma, r3 three times as long as r2 (Fig. 36 in Papp 1985: 363) 2. Temple in dorsal view constricted, eye 2.5 times as long as temple (Fig. 53). 3. Femora thick, fore femur (Fig. 64) 2.3 times, hind femur 2.8 times as long as broad (Fig. 65). 4. Antenna with 36 flagellomeres; flagellomeres relatively thick, first flagellomere just twice, penultimate flagellomere twice as long as broad. 5. First tergite 1.4 times as long as wide at hind; second tergite less transverse, 1.9 times as wide behind as long medially (Fig. 32 in PAPP 1985: 361); tergites 1-2 longitudinally striated. 6. Ground colour of body dirty yellow with rich blackish pattern on head and mesosoma. Figs 59-63. Yelicones luridus sp. n.: 59 ~ head and mesonotum in dorsal view with indication of sculpture, 60 = fore femur, 61 = hind femur, 62 = distal part of right fore wing, 63 = tergites 1-2 with indication of sculpture of first tergite. - Figs 64-65. Yelicones maculatus PAPP: 64 - fore femur, 65 = hind femur. - Figs 6667. Yelicones koreanus PAPP: 66 - head and mesonotum in dorsal view with indication of sculpture, 67 = distal part of right fore wing
