Cleptes halinae KUSNETZOV-UGAMSKIJ Cleptes halinae KUSNETZOV-UGAMSKIJ, 1927: 28, 1 $ (In Russian). Holotype $ Russia: Tigrovaja (Prov. Marit. Littoralis, S. Ussuri, 4.VIII. 1926) (Mus. ?). Cleptes hyalinae (sic): KlMSEY & BOHART 1991: 60. Holotype cj (really $); (semiauratus group) Material examined - 3 CJ, Korea: "Ex cocoon of Lygaeonematus sp. nr. L. wesmaeli TlSCHB. R. FORSIUS det.", "Korea: (em. V. 1932 at Belleville, Ont., from Sawfly cocoon sent to Canada)", "Parasite Laboratory Belleville Ont. 30.V.1932", "Pres by Imp. Inst. Ent. Brit. Mus. 1932-5", "Cleptes halinae K-UGAMSKII det. BlSCHOFF det. M. C. DAY 197 ", "Cleptes halinae KUSN.-UGAMSKII det. L. Móczár, 1999" IcS (BMNH); the same labels except det. BlSCHOFF and DAY label, 2 o*m (BMNH and HNHM). The Russian diagnosis was kindly translated by G. SZELÉNYI. S - Length 4.8-5.3 mm. The S seems to have been unknown previously, consequently, this specimen represents the male of this species owing to the same data which was not published before. Head, pronotum nearly entirely greenish blue. Lower face and mesoplcuron more greenish. Ped and flagellomeres brown. Head, thorax with some violet tint, mesonotum scutellum postscutellum and propodeum darker blue, bluish black, elsewhere black. T-I in front with reversed V-formed, broad, lighter brown, medially black spot and dark brown on disc posteriorly. T-II-V becoming gradually black. Legs brown, scape, fore femora with greenish blue highlights in front, middle and hind ones and the rest brown. Wings weakly infuscatcd, without brownish spot. Discoidal cell weakly indicated. Nervulus interstitial. Body with sparse white hairs. Frons convex, with fine, scattered punctures. MS 1.2 MOD long. Ped 1.8 times as long as width, F-I 2.0 times as long as apical width, F-II 1.6x, F-III 1.3 x apical width. Frontal sulcus narrow, beginning from fore ocellus, ending at clypeus, broadened before antennái sockets, usually interrupted medially. Lateral margins of clypeus convergent basally, stumpy, acute corners laterally and divergent apically (Fig. 11). Ocellar triangle moderate acute, POL:OOL = 10:13, hind ocelli 1.3 times as far from eye margin as from each other.. Pronotum with smaller punctures or irregular wrinkles. Mesonotum, scutellum (Fig. 18) and postscutellum finely, scatteredly punctured. Postscutellar disc 1.4 times as wide as long, anterior margin gradually bending down into an elongate row of foveae, well separated only laterally, before the posterior margin of scutellum. Posterior margin of postscutellum twice excavated deeply. Propodeum with longitudinal wrinkles, mostly in anterior half. Lateral corners of propodeum (Fig. 18) nearly acute angle, with minute teeth. Mesopleuron smooth with small punctures, after that coarsely sculptured, mostly with round, less elongate punctures between finer ridging laterally. T-I with very fine and dense punctures medially on disc and with few larger punctures laterally,T-I I with fine and dense puncturcs,T-III (Fig. 18) except medially and T-IV entirely with dense, distinct double punctures. T-IV-V alutaceous basally, rest of T-V smooth with some larger punctures. Posterior groove of pronotum not similar in the 3 specimens. The larger pit medially divided by 2-5 fine longitudinal ridges, the groove mostly with less distinct irregular punctures. The split being broader and smaller between postscutellum and propodeum. Distribution - Russia: S. Ussuri (KUSNETZOV-UGAMSKIJ 1927) and Korea.
