The MET AC ARP ALB -group Apanteles atreus Nixon, 1973 - Flagellar Joints 15-17 cubic, at most 15th joint exceptionally slightly longer than broad. Metacarp about as long as pterostigma, latter of usual size; rl somewhat shorter than cuqul. Second tergite thrice wider behind than long medially. Hind claw with two or three spinules. Tegula black. - Distribution: widely distributed in the western Palaearctlc Region (England, Denmark, Germany, N.Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey) though nowhere frequent. New to the fauna of Hungary. Localities - 1/1: 1 g : Csévharaszt. 1 g : Gyula, Szanazug. - V/3: 1 g : Bajánsenye, Csertaerdő. - VI, VIII-DÍ. Apanteles bajariae Papp, 1975 - It is very difficult to recognize this species owing to its deceptive similarity to other species: A. atreus , A. ingenuus and A. myron . Hind femur flattened, 2.7-2.8(-3) times longer than thick. Face clearly 1.3 times wider than high, inner margin of eyes converging ventrally. Discoidal cell 1.1-1.2 times wider than high, rl arising from middle or slightly distally from middle of pterostigma. In lateral view ovipositor sheath as long as hind tarsal joints 1 to 1-2. - Distribution: reported from Hungary, Yugoslavia, Turkey, Crete (Greece), Canary Islands. Supposedly more widely distributed in Europe. Localities - 1/1: 1 g : Debrecen, Pallagpuszta. 1 g (holotype): Kecskemét, Nagynyfr. - n/1: 1 g : Keszthely. Apanteles corvinus Reinhard, 1880 Apanteles corvinus Reinhard, 1880, Dt. ent. Zschr. 24: 366 (in key), 1981, 25: 46 (description), g cT , locus typicus: ?

Mus .natn.hung. 69: 201, g , locus typicus: Szársomlyó, Nagyharsány, Hungary; abbreviated synonymization in PAPP 1980: 251. - Holotype in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest; Hym. Typ. No. 2381. Apanteles lucidus Szépligeti, 1896, Természetr.Fiiz. 19: 306 (In Hungarian) and 376 (in German), S , locus typicus: Óbuda, Budapest, Hungary; synonymized by SZÉPLIGETI 1904, Gen.Ins. 22: 106. - Type-specimen lost. Metacarp distinctly longer than pterostigma; rl either shorter than cuqul or the two veins about equal in length. First tergite 1.5-1.7 times as long as wide at base, second tergite transverse. Penultimate joint of antenna 1.5 times longer than broad. Ovipositor sheath short, in lateral view as long as three-fifths to equal length of hind tibia. - Distribution: sporadic to frequent in Europe as far eastwards as Georgia in the USSR. In Hungary rather sporadic. Localities - 1/1: 1 6 : Székesfehérvár. - II/l: 1 & : Bodajk, Gaja-szurdok. 1 g : Budapest, Zugliget. 1 g : Budapest, HúTvösvölgy. 2 g : Nagykovácsi, Julia-major, 1 g ex Leucoptera scltella Zeller (host new) 26 VIII 1981, food-plant Malus domestica collected with host and parasite 19 VII 1981; 1 g ex Leucoptera scltella Zeller 23 VIII 1982, food-plant Malus domestica collected with host and parasite 12 VII 1982, leg. et educ.

Apanteles firmus Telenga, 1949 - Metacarp very short, distinctly shorter than pterostigma. Setae of median and usually submediellan cells sparse, setae separated from each other by about their own length. First tergite wide at base, its basal width twice greater than apical width.Second tergite less transverse, 3-3.5 times wider behind than long medially. Penultimate joint of antenna either cubic or slightly longer than broad. Tegula yellow to bright yellow. Alar vein weakly pigmented. - Distribution: frequent in the USSR, reported from Mongolia, Yugoslavia, Roumanla and France. New to the fauna of Hungary. Localities - 1/1: 1 g : Budapest, Rákos. 1 g : Horgos (= Horgos, Yugoslavia). 1 g : Kiskunfélegyháza. 1 g : Petőfiszállás, Péteri-tó. 3 g : Szabadszállás, Klsrét. - II/2: 1 6 : Vác. - III/5: 1 g : Kolozs (= Cojocna, Transylvania). Apanteles ingenuoides Papp, 1971 (?= frater Tobias, 1976) - Metacarp somewhat longer than pterostigma, latter triangular, i.e. its proximal inner side straight, cuqul usually twice to almost twice longer than rl. Prescutellar furrow Indistinct. First tergite attenuating almost evenly from base to apex. Very similar to A. Ingenuus Tobias. On the basis of the description A. frater Tobias seems to be a junior synonym of A.ingenuoides. - Distribution: described from Mongolia, recently discovered in Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary, Germany and France.Supposedly also distributed in the USSR.
