Argaman, Q.: Generic synopsis of Myzinidae (Hymenoptera: Scolioidea)

dorsal pronotum except three black spots, tegula, a V-shaped spot on mesoscutum between the notaulices, a triangular spot lateral to the parapsidal furrows and behind the tcgula, scutellum, disc of metanotum, a spot on upper half of mesopleuron, a stripe along the lateral edge of propodeum, a small round spot on propodeal declivity, apex of coxae rather narrowly, precoxal lobes of mesosternum, legs entirely except base of femora, pterostigma, a broad transverse stripe on terga 1-6, two lateral spots on last terga, and a rather narrow apical band on sterna 2-7. Palpi, apical teeth of mandibles, wing venation and spine of hypopygium are yellowish brown. First flagellar segment dark brown, segments 2-11 orange. Body clothed with silver white pubescence, nowhere decumbent, rather long on fronto-vertex, scutellum and propodeum, short and conspicuously erect on abdomen. Wings hyaline with nacreous iridescence, membrane clothed with short pale pubescence except on apical third dark. Abdominal segments with subapical rows of white, lanceolate hairs. Head somewhat ovoidal, 1.2X as wide as high. Eye 0.6X as long as height of head, 1.4X as long as wide, practically glabrous. Inner orbits rather shallowly emarginate, significantly diverge toward the vertex. Antennái tubercles joined at the very base, not consolidated in a frontal lobe. Clypeal disc convex, sparsely punctate, a semitransparent apical rim weakly incised. Mandibles acutely bidentate, medio-dorsal keel delicate. Sides of hypostoma feebly diverge toward clypeal margin, hypostomal notch somewhat longer than postgenal bridge. Palpal formula 6-4. Front densely, vertex more sparsely covered with uniformly sized, moderately deep setigerous punctures; intcrpunctal spaces nowhere wider than the punctures themselves. Front angle of ocellar triangle right angle; OOL = POL. Occipital carina complete. Ventral aspect of scape flattened, framed by a thin carina, enclosing a roughly ovoidal area (Fig. 66), with slightly concave surface. First flagellar segment 0.5X as long as scape; second 1.3X as long as thick, the following ones gradually became thicker but not longer (Fig. 65); pubescence short and erect; ventral aspect of flagellar segments 1-11 covered with extremely sharp, acute and conspicuous purple spinulae (Fig. 65). Pronotal disc slightly concave transversely on its anterior half, feebly declivous in lateral view of thorax. Anterior pronotal margin transversely truncate and bordered dorsally by a blunt, nowhere lamelliform ridge, vanished on a short distance mesally. Dorsal pronotum 2.4X as wide as long medially, sides slightly converge anterad. Lateral pronotal lobe neither produced in a spine nor reach latero-ventrally up to the level of tignar sulcus. Thoracic dorsum and propodeum punctate like fronto-vertex. Propleuron convex but not produced. Upper half of mesopleuron densely, lower half sparsely punctate. Hind coxa with an acute longitudinal keel both on its inner dorsal and inner ventral edge. Metapleuron wholly, longitudinally costulate. Propodeum arcuately declivous, bulging in lateral view, without distinct medio-dorsal surface. Legs normal. Tibial spur formula 1-1-2. Hind tibia weakly spinose. Last tarsal segment of hind leg shorter than penultimate one. Claws cleft. Pterostigma of forewing 4X as long as wide. Marginal cell 1.4X as wide as length of second intcrcubital vein. Sectors of radial vein in a ratio as 1.0:1.4:1.5:1.7. Hind wing cu-a vein postfurcal. Abdomen slightly dorso-ventrally flattened, densely but shallowly punctate throughout, except posterior half of second sternum sparsely. Interpunctal spaces of all terga delicately alutaceous, of sterna polished and shining. Terga 2-7 with a very sharp basal gradulus. Sterna 3-7 excavated on each side in a deep colpus, separated mesally by a sharp keel developed on basal third of the exposed disc. Seventh tergum conical, with a V-shaped incisure and with a semitransparent platform around it; lobes truncate, at least as wide as the incisure. Hypopygium ovoidal basally, spine narrow and elongate. Female and biology unknown. Material: Holotype male, intact specimen on pin, and 5 paratype males from ISRAEL, labelled "Israel, Mikhmoret, Miramare Hotel Garden, 16-18. VI. 1980, leg. Q. ARGAMAN". Holotype and 1 paratype in the author's collection. Two paratypes in Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest; Hym. Typ. Nos. 6958, 6959; 1 paratype in Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv; 1 in National Museum of Natural History, Washington, DC; 1 in Museo Civico di Storia Naturale, Genova. Variation: Size of paratypes 7.0-9.5 mm. Otherwise they are uniform in shape and color. This probably due to the restricted area they came from. The unknown female seemingly will have alutaceous abdomen, short last tarsal segment on hind leg and only one spur on mid tibia. Weerpaga udomanca sp. n. (Fig. 47) Female. Length 6.7 mm. Head, including mandible, antenna, thorax, legs, abdominal petiole and the sting sheath arc reddish brown. Abdomen dark brown to black. Apical teeth of mandible, front sideward to frontal lobe and ocelli infuscated. Glittering white tegument occurs on: dorsal aspect of scape, tegula, scutellum, upper platform of mesopleuron, dorsum of mid and hind coxa, apical third of fore femur, outer aspect of fore tibia, whole second tergum except for a narrow apical stripe triangularly enlarged mesally, anterior half of fifth tergum, and a large ovoidal spot on each side of the sixth tergum. Pubescence of body as long as scape, except tarsal segments a little shorter. Fronto-vertex, pronotal disc and scutellum clothed with subdecumbent metallic gold hairs; propodeum with light
