as wide, hardly 1.1 x as high as wide. Sides of pronotum distinctly and slightly longitudinally reticulate-coriaceous all over. Mesoscutum evenly and moderately hairy, uniformly reticulate-coriaceous (slightly weaker than head), without trace of notauli; hind margin medially distinctly and broadly prolonged above anterior margin of scutellum, sometimes brownish here, laterally with dense, whitish hairs. Mesopleuron smooth, in upper 0.3 with faint longitudinal sculpture. Scutellum (Fig. 85) below level of mesoscutum, with sparse hairs (somewhat denser postero-laterally) and faint microsculpture, posteriorly with at most a weak indication of a tooth, slightly excavated below, dark, without lamella. Metapleuron smooth and bare in about anterior 0.4, rest with dense, whitish pilosity. Propodeal carinae very slightly semitransparent, almost fused. Fore wing 0.75 x as long as body, 2.3 x as long as wide, clear, with moderately dense, fine microtrichia, without marginal cilia. Hind wing 5.4 x as long as wide; marginal cilia 0.2 width of wing. Metasoma (Figs 86-87) 1.0-1.1 x as long as head and mesosoma combined, as wide as mesosoma, about 1.1 x as wide as high. Hind margins of T2-T5, and entire T6, finely reticulate-coriaceous; apical tergites with a few superficially implanted hairs, almost forming a transverse row on T5; T6 0.6-0.8 x as long as wide. Sternite 2 reticulate-coriaceous in posterior 0.4. Material examined - Holotype female: Midgobi aimak, Choot bulag, between Chuld and Delgerchangaj, 1480 m, 13.VII.1967. Paratypes: 5 females, same data as holotype. Remarks - Close to S. rhanis (WALKER, 1835) but with less pointed scutellum and less pointed and less convex metasoma than this, cf. VLUG (1985). Metasoma also less convex than in S. dentiscutellaris (SZABÓ, 1979) and shape of scutellum different from this, cf. BUHL (2000). Synopeas trebius (WALKER, 1835) Material examined - 1 female, Central aimak, Uubulan at river Tola, 60 km E of Ulan-Baator, 1370 m, 25.VIII.1965; 1 female, Central aimak, Ulan-Baator, Nucht in Bogdo ul, 1600 m, 27.VIII. 1965; 1 male, Central aimak, Tosgoni ovoo, 10 km N of Ulan-Baator, 1700-1900 m, 23-24. VII. 1967. Synopeas vulgaris sp. n. (Figs 88-92) Female - Length 1.1-1.4 mm. Black, A1-A6 medium to dark yellowish brown; legs medium to dark brown; trochanters, tip of femora, both ends of fore tibia, base of mid and hind tibiae, and segments 1-4 of all tarsi light brownish. Head from above (Fig. 88) 1.7-1.9 x as wide as long, very slightly wider than mesosoma, finely and almost uniformly reticulate-coriaceous, without transverse elements; occiput with a weak carina. OOL about as long as diameter of lateral ocellus; LOL = 4 OOL. Head in frontal view 1.2 x as wide as high; antenna (Fig. 89) with Al 0.9 x as long as height of head. Mesosoma 1.4 x as long as wide, 1.1 x as high as wide. Sides of pronotum reticulate-coriaceous, smooth in lower third. Mesoscutum moderately and evenly hairy, uniformly reticulatecoriaceous slightly weaker than head, without notauli; hind margin medially with a smooth (not swollen) prolongation to base of scutellum; scuto-scutellar grooves broadly triangular, each with
