Papp, J.: Nine new Chorebus Haliday species from Central Europe (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae: Dacnusini)

Nine new Chorebus sp. from Central Europe (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) 103 crenulate (Fig. 5). Propodeum rugulose, hairy; metapleuron with rosette-shaped hairs. ­Hind coxa above with a tuft of pubescence (Fig. 6). Hind femur 3.5 times as long as wide medially (Fig. 7). Hind tibia and tarsus equal in length; hind basitarsus as long as tarso­meres 2-4 combined. Forewing as long as body. Pterostigma (Fig. 8) cuneiform, seven times as long as wide, issuing r somewhat proximally from its middle and r as long as width of pterostigma; 1 -R1 0.7 times as long as pterostigma. Vein 3-SR + SRI bent and approaching tip of wing. First subdiscal cell closed distally, i.e. Culb missing (Fig. 9, see arrow). First tergite (Fig. 10) 1.3 times as long as wide behind, evenly widening posteriorly (beyond spiracles), pair of basal keels not meeting and restricted to anterior part of tergite; pair of spiracles clearly before middle of tergite, tergite itself longitudinally striate with anastomoses. Further tergite polished. Hypopygium rounded, ovipositor sheath short and narrow, one-third shorter than hind basitarsus. Ground colour of body black. Scape, pedicel and flagellomeres 1 -2 brownish yellow, rest of flagellum dark brown. Mandible brownish yellow, palpi yellow. Tegula dark brown, parategula brown. Tergites 2-3 with dark brown suffusion. Legs brownish yellow. Wings subhyaline, pterostigma and veins opaque light brownish. Description of the male paratype - Body 2.8 mm long. Antenna somewhat longer than body and with 32 antennomeres. Head in dorsal less cubic, nearly 1.6 times as wide as long (Fig. 48). Hind femur 3.8 times as long as wide distally (Fig. 49). Forewing: r 1.3 times lon­ger than width of pterostigma, 1-R1 0.6 times as long as pterostigma (Fig. 50). First tergite 1.6 times as long as wide behind. Legs light testaceous. Host unknown. Distribution - Hungary. Remarks - Chorebus (Paragyrocampa ) catron sp. n. is near to Ch. (P.) convergens sp. n., Ch. (P.) ophthalmicus (TOBIAS, 1962), Ch. (Ch.) subcu­bicus PAPP, 2009 (PAPP 2009: in print) and Ch. (Ch.) foveolus (HALIDAY, 1833) (NIXON 1949: 292). Their common features are having compound eyes more or less converging ventrally (Figs 3, 11, 13, 18, 40) and hind coxa above with tuft of pubescence (Fig. 6); the five species are separated with the following key: 1 (6) Head subcubic to cubic in dorsal view (Fig. 1 ), i.e. 1.5-1.6 times as wide as long. Copound eyes in frontal view more or less strongly convergent (Figs 3,11). Annls hist.-nat. Mus. natn. hung. 101, 2009
