than stigmal; speculum open below; fringe of apical margin as long as thickness of marginal vein at its narrowest part. Gastral petiole strongly transverse, reduced to narrow band. Gaster 1.3-1.6 times as long as broad. Pubescence on sides of first gastral lergite represented by 5-6 short setae. Redescription of male. Length 2.6-3.3 mm. Differs from female as follows. Head in dorsal view 2.49-2.65 times as broad as long; POL 2.1-2.5 OOL. Eye height slightly 3.2-3.5 times as long as malar space. Head in frontal view 1.33-1.39 times as broad as high. Interocular distance about 4 times as long as eye width. Breadth of oral fossa about 5 times as long as malar space, 1.75 times as long as produced forwards anterior margin of clypeus. Antenna! scape (Fig. 4) wide, about 3 times as long as broad in lateral view, 2.8 times as long as broad in dorsal view, about 0.85 times as long as eye height, its frontal margin with 1-2 rows of short irregular setae; combined length of pedicel and flagellum about 0.9 times as long as breadth of head; pedicel about 1.5-1.8 times as long as broad, 0.46-0.54 times as long as 1 st funicular segment. The latter 2.0-2.7 times as long as broad, about 1.30-1.38 times as long as second, the latter 1.6-2.25 times as long as broad, third 1.33-2.25 times as long as broad, clava two-segmented, 2.3-3.3 times as long as broad. Thorax (without propodeum) 1.2 times as long as broad. Scutellum 1.2-1.3 times as long as broad, about 1.5 times as long as mesoscutum. Lateral plicate border of submedian areas of propodeum hardly expressed. Fore femur 3.5^1.3 mid femur nearly 3-5.83, hind femur 2.8-3.33 times as long as broad; fore tibia 8.3, mid tibia 7-10, hind tibia about 5.0-6.43 times as long as broad. Fore tarsi in ratio: 5/6/6/9, mid tarsi in ratio: 8/6/7/10, hind tarsi in ratio: 7/6/6/9. Spur of mid tibia 1.6-2 times as long as breadth of tibia, spur of rather robust, 5 times as long as broad, 0.78 times as long as breadth of tibia in its proximal tip, 0.7 times as long as hind basistarsus. Fore tibia with a robust, protruding apical spine. Fore wing about twice as long as broad, costal cell bare, 6-7 times as long as broad. The studied specimens have submarginal vein with 2 setae on its dorsal surface before its "break", where it meets parastigma. Gastral petiole subconical, twice as broad as long. Gaster 1.35-1.45 times as long as broad (artificially long-drawn in allotype of E. erdoesianus). Pubescence on the sides of first gastral tergite represented by 2-3 short setae. Variation. This widely disributed species demonstrates quite wide spectrum of variation in morphology and colouration. For instance, females bred from stems of Astragalus spp. have antennái segments longer, than female specimens bred from larvae of Tychius quinqitepunctatus LINNAEUS; part of Mongolian specimens of both sexes share all morphological characters with the rest of collected specimens from other regions, but have mid tibia bearing one outer light stripe. This sample is uniqie for Entedon, because light stripes are characteristic for the fore tibiae of many species of this genus, and mid and hind tibiae either homogeneously coloured or bearing dark/light complete band. Discussion. Until GRAHAM (1959, 1963, 1971) this species had been misidentified (ZETTERSTEDT 1838, THOMSON 1878, ERDŐS 1944, 1951). GRAHAM (1971) redescribed the lectotype in details, which allowed me to identify the available specimens, and to propose new synonymy. Unfortunately, I was unable to get the lectotype of Entedon cyanellus DALMAN. According to notes of NHR, M. de V. GRAHAM borrowed four specimens in 1958. He designated one as lectotype and three as syntypes. The loan was returned, but in 1965 he borrowed the lectotype together with some other material. L. A. Janzon could find
