all other surfaces of tergite as well as other tergites smooth and shiny. Sternites smooth and shiny. Sternites 1. and 2. dark brown, otherwise whole abdomen black. Hypopygium not protruding, ovipositor short. — Length of animal : 2,5 mm. rf : Unknown. Collecting locality : Apajpuszta, Com. Pest, 7 May 1952, on Lepidium species, 2 9 (1 9 Holotype), leg. L. Móczár. — Host unknown. Remarks : Nearest M. balearica Marsh. Differs by the following main characters : punctation of face and mesonotum, length of antennae and vivid color of first pair of legs. Microgaster tegularius sp. n. 9 : Head.—Head approximately round (viewed frontally). Light pubescence dense and short. Face densely but not roughly rugulose. Vertex also rugose, yet not as densely as face. Antenna as long as body, 18-jointed. Antennái joints terminally shortening, next but last joint somewhat shorter than last one. All joints longer than broad. Annidar incisions centrally on first 9 joints. Antenna densely and adpressedly pubescent. Hairs on eye similar to those on face, though a bit longer. Maxillary palpus 5-jointed, labial palpus 3-jointed. Head brown, palpi, clypeus and mandibles yellowish brown or yellow. Thorax. — Mesonotum and scutellum evenly, densely, and — similarly to face — roughly scrobiculate (fig. 2). Mesopleura punctate along anterior margin, yet more sparsely toward sternal area (as related to mesonotum). Other surfaces of mesopleura smooth and shiny. Medial and lateral ridges of metanotum present. Metanotum completely smooth or slightly rugulose and shiny along ridges. Pruinose pubescence adpressed. Spurs of tibia 1. and 2. almost as long as first tarsal joint, whilst spur of tibia 3. as long as, or but slightly longer than, halfth of tarsus. All three pairs of legs with even, pruinose and adpressed pubescence. Femora punctate, brown, including trochanters. Proximal apex of femur on first pair of legs always obscure, all other parts, tibia and tarsi yellow. Legs mainly yellow. Tegula yellow. Wings hyaline, venation yellowish brown. Stigma cuspidate toward first section of radius, being therefore short and broad, its ratio : 2:1. Abdomen. — Outline of abdomen elongate-elliptical. Plate of tregite 1. twice as long as broad centrally, with a longitudinal and shallow indentation in its median axis. Its whole surface finely and longitudinally wrinkled toward distal base. Distal margin rounded, lateral margin yellow. Tergite 2. slightly rugulose and shiny. Central field undisconnected by fine furrow, but delimited by groove on both lateral sides. Tergites 2. and 3. of equal length. All other tergites smooth and shiny. Sternites also smooth and shiny. Hypopygium protruding, yet not longer than abdomen. Ovipositor short. Abdomen brown, sides of tergites 2. and 3. eventually yellow. Sternites 1. and 2. with light spot. — Length : 2,3 — 2,5 mm. 9 ; Unknown. Collecting localities : Budapest, 2 Q (1 Ç Holotype), leg.
