15 (14) Third tergite smooth except A. artissimus PAPP with weak rugulosity (Fig. 44), see couplet 17 (18), tergite 2 or tergite 3 at most rugulose and always with weaker sculpture than first tergite. Second tergite distinctly shorter than third one. 16 (21) 291 distinctly, usually about one-third times, longer than high (Figs. 45, 52). 17 (18) Propodeum quite strongly rugose all over, first tergite slightly less strongly rugose, second tergite rugulose, third tergite superficially rugulose to uneven (Fig. 44), every tergites together with mesonotum pruinose. Mesonotum with distinct, relatively large, and more or less concentric punctation, interspaces shorter than punctures and with microsculpture (Fig. 3). Metanotum behind angularly produced at middle into propodeum, similar to that of A. imperátor WILK., see couplet 28 (29). Body somewhat elongated. Penultimate two joints of antenna 1.6-1.8 times as long as broad. Metacarp somewhat longer than stigma (30 : 35-37, x63), ending rather far before apex of R; r\ issuing distally from stigma, latter 2.5 times longer than wide (Fig. 45). Hypopygium truncate far before end of abdomen, uncreased. Ovipositor sheath short, as long as third basitarsus (in lateral view). Legs dark, only tibiae and tarsi more or less yellow to brown. Stigma opaque brown without any basal light spot. 9cT : 2.8-3 mm. — Mongolia, Europe (England, Sweden, Finland, Germany, Hungary). (= abila Nixon, 1972, !!) A. artissimus PAPP, 1971 (!!)* 18 (17) Propodeum, first and second tergites usually smooth to uneven, at least with rugosities around lunule, shiny to subshiny. Mesonotum with fine and small punctation, rather shiny. Postscutellum not produced angularly except in A. imperátor WILK., see couplet 28 (29). 19 (20) Legs except coxae reddish yellow. Coxae 1-2 brownish black, coxa 3 black. Femora 2-3 basally more or less darkening. Body rather stout or strong, less pruinose. Propodeum rugose around lunule. Ovipositor sheath more expanded apically (Fig. 46). First tergite as long as wide at rear, second tergite more transverse (Fig. 47). Çj ; 2.8-3 mm. — Hungary A. mimi PAPP 1974 (!!) 20 (19) Legs black. Apex of fore femur, entire tibia, base of middle and hind tibiae yellow or fumous yellow. Hind femur exceptionally reddish yellow with blackish pattern at its base, see couplet 105 (104). All tarsi fumous. Body rather less stout, gracile, pruinose. Propodeum uneven to smooth, at least with weak rugosity around lunule. Ovipositor sheath less expanded apically (Fig. 48). First tergite slightly longer than wide at hind, second tergite less transverse (Fig. 49). Venation (st, r\-\-cuqu\, n. bas.) see on Fig. 31. Cr/ : 2.5-2.7 mm. — Mongolia, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Belgium** A. cinerosus PAPP, 1971 (!!) 21 (16) 7)1 at most somewhat longer than high (Figs. 33, 59, 137). 22 (27) Stigma brown with a pale basal spot (Figs. 55, 81, 137). 23 (26) Metacarp much longer than stigma and reaching near to apex of R (Figs. 55, 137). 24 (25) Legs bright reddish yellow to yellow. Body shiny. First tergite rather indistinctly widening behind or subparallel-sided (Fig. 133). Penultimate joint of antenna at least one-and-a-third times longer than broad. Mesonotum with discrete * A very deceptive species considering its uncreased hypopygium, rugose propodeum and first tergite; this feature may relegate it to the glomeratus-group, however, the habitus of its body, the distinctly short second tergite (tergites 2 : 3 as 10 : 16-18), and the length of ovipositor sheath are strong characters of the laevigatus-group. ** Among the three females of A. impurus (NEES) in.Wesmael's Collection one female proved to represent my A. cinerosus, further comments see in the footnote to A. impurus on p. 267.
