Papp, J.: Seven new species of Aspilota Foerster from the Palaearctic Region (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Alysiinae)

Dinotrema: tentorial (or paraclypeal) pit between clypeus and compound eye is small, i.e. pit not touching the margin of the eye (cf. Figs 5 and 9-12 in WHARTON 1985: 229 and 231). Malar suture mostly absent (cf Figs 161, 176 and 189 in VAN ACHTERBERG 1988: 78-80). Mesoscutal dimple mostly present. The number of the Aspilota species known to occur in the Holarctic Region is about 120. DESCRIPTIONS OF THE NEW SPECIES The following abbreviations of fore wing veins are used in the descriptions (after VAN ACHTERBERG 1993:4-5): m-cu = transverse medio-cubital (or recurrent) vein; r— first section of the radial vein; 1-2CU(1) = first and second sections of the discal vein; 2-SR — first transverse cubital vein; 3-SR = second section of the radial vein; SRI — third section of the radial vein. Aspilota digitula sp. n. (Figs 1-10) Type material - Female holotype: Hungary, Olaszfalu, Alsópere, swept in a. Quercetum petraeae-cerris, 26-28 August 1964, leg. J. PAPP. - Holotype is in good condition: glued on a pointed card by mesosternum. The holotype is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Department of Zoology), Budapest, Hym. Typ. No. 11297. Etymology - The name "digitula" refers to the finger form of the middle tooth of the mandible. Description of the female holotype - Body 2 mm long. Antenna nearly as long as body and with 18 antennomeres. First flagellomere three times and penultimate flagellomere 2.6 times as long as broad, flagellum distally faintly attenuating. - Head in dorsal view (Fig. 1) transverse, 1.8 times as broad as long, eye somewhat longer than temple, temple rounded. Tentorial pit relatively narrow and touching compound eye (Fig. 2). Mandible along its median line 1.8 times as long as broad between upper and lower teeth, middle tooth digitiform, i.e. narrow, long and basally weakly broadening (Fig. 3). Eye in lateral view 1.6 times as high as wide, temple beyond eye just less wide than eye. Head polished, face and clypeus with upwards directed hairs. Mesosoma in lateral view 1.25 times as long as high. Notaulix indicated by a row of a few hairs. Mesoscutal dimple absent. Precoxal suture short, i.e. restricted to middle of mesopleuron, subcrenulate (Fig. 4), hind margin of mesopleuron on its upper half finely crenulte.
