ROVARTANI KÖZLEMÉNYEK L 1989 w. 105-110 Mirax heinrichi sp. n. from the U. S. A. and taxonomic bionomic data of two European Mirax species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Adeliinae) By J. PAPP (Received July 25, 1988) Abstract: Mirax heinrichi sp. n. from the U. S. A. and taxonomic/bionomic data of two European Mirax species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Adeliinae) Description of the new species Mirax heinrichi from the U.S.A. (Maine) as well as a taxonomic/systematic comparison of its two related species. Taxonomic and bionomic data are given for the European species Mirax dryochares Marshall and M. rufilabris Haliday. With 11 original figures. DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW SPECIES Mirax heinrichi sp. n. <j» (Figs 1-7* Description of the holotype: Body 2. 2 mm long.
