Blacus (Tarpheion) Concors sp. n. 9 (Figs 12-15) Description of the holotype 9. - Body 2.2 mm long. Head in dorsal view (Fig. 12) 1.65 times as broad as long, eye twice as long as temple, latter receded. Antenna with 19 antennomeres, slightly thickening distally; first flagellomere 1.27 times as long as second flagellomere, length of third, fourth and penultimate flagellomeres 4.6, 3.6 and 2 times as long as broad, respectively. Maxillar palp about as long as height of head. OOL:OD:POL as 7:3:4. Malar space as long as basal width of mandible, malar suture present, ventral margin of cheek pointed (Fig. 13: arrow). Occipital carina completely absent. Head polished. Mesosoma in lateral view 1.55 times as long as high. Pronotal sides anteriorly rugulose to uneven, otherwise smooth, shiny. Precoxal sulcus distinct and finely crenulated. Notaulix evenly deep and broad, with fine crenulation. Mesonotum along notauli and sutures setose, otherwise dispersely setose. Scutellum polished, laterally finely carinated. Propodeum areolated, its postero-median areola twice as long as wide anteriorly (Fig. 14, see arrows), areolae uneven to smooth, shiny; tubercule absent. - Hind femur, tibia and basitarsus 5.75,14.8 and 8.66 times as long as broad, respectively. Claws setose and without bristles. Fore wing 2.1 mm long, about as long as body. Pterostigma (Fig. 15) issuing radial vein slightly distally from its middle, rl one-fifth longer than width of pterostigma and somewhat oblique to its fore margin; first discoidal cell truncate at parastigma (arrow); dl very short. First tergite 2.1 times as long as broad behind, with moderately broadening sides, its surface (except basal fourth) longitudinally strio-rugulose, pair of basal keels merging about middle of tergite into sculpture. Second tergite basally longitudinally strio-rugulose, otherwise polished. Ovipositor sheath as long middle tibia, 0.27 times as long as fore wing; hypopygium medium-sized (cf. Fig. 20). Ground colour of body brownish yellow. Face, scape and pedicel yellow. Flagellomeres 1-2 pale yellow, rest of flagellum greyish yellow. Palpi pale yellow. Legs and tegula yellow, sternites 1-2 straw yellow. Wings hyaline, pterostigma opaque brownish, parastigma and veins opaque pale yellow. The single female paratype is in every respect similar to the holotype 9. o* and host unknown. Type material. - Holotype 9 : India, Orissa, Jajpur-Keonjahr District, Daitari, 25 November 1967, leg. TOPÁL (NO. 956). 1 9 paratype: with same collecting data. - Holotype and 1 9 paratype are deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Department of Zoology), Budapest, Hym. Typ. Nos 7507 (holotype) and 7508 (paratype). Etymology. - The name "concors" of the new species refers to the occipital region without carina, in this respect conforming ("concors" = congruent) to its closely related species B. incarinaticeps and B. fuscinervis. Distribution: India (Indo-Malayan Region). The new species, Blacus (Tarpheion) concors sp. n., runs to B. (T.) incarinaticeps VAN ACHTERBERG, 1988 (Nepal) and B. (T) fuscinervis VAN ACHTERBERG, 1988 (Laos) with the help of VAN ACHTERBERG'S key (1988: 141-147) to the species of the Palaearctic and Indo-Australian Regions of the subgenus Tarpheion VAN ACHTER BERG, 1976 (genus Blacus NEES, 1818). The three species are distinguished by the following modified key: 1 (2) Vein rl of fore wing long, 1.4 times as long as width of pterostigma (Fig. 983 in VAN ACHTERBERG 1988: 291) 3 . Antenna with 20 antennomeres. Second tergite entirely smooth, first tergite largely smooth and shiny. Notauli posteriorly smooth, i.e. without crenulation. Body dark reddish brown with yellowish pattern. 9:2 mm B. (T.) incarinaticeps VAN ACHTERBERG, 1988 Vein rl measured in Fig. 983 is, contrasting to 1.4 times given in the key-text, 1.16 times as long as width of pterostigma.
