Tarsi not shortened, at least somewhat longer than tibiae, respectively. Head and thorax nearly of same breadth. 45 (46) Head (in dorsal view) transverse, somewhat more than twice as broad as long, behind eyes constricted (Fig. 68); temple (in lateral view) shorter than width (or horizontal diameter) of eye (12 : 16, X 100). Body shiny to polished. Mesonotum with very fine punctation, shiny. Scutellum polished. Second tergite usually less transverse (Fig. 69).

Body rather dull, not polished. Mesonotum with dense punctation, dull (Fig. 2). Scutellum at most shiny. Second tergite usually more transverse (Fig. 71). 47 (48) Head, thorax and first tergite brown to dark brown, abdomen yellow or reddish yellow. Legs yellow, coxae dark. First tergite rounded behind, its hind half together with second tergite rugulose. Antennái joints (14-)15-17 cubic, joints 12-14 subcubic, antenna not longer than head and thorax together. Ovipositor sheath (Fig. 70) as long as two-thirds of hind tibia. An aberrant species of * The two species (A. palpator TOB. and A. pulcher TEL.) are very near to each other. A revision of them may prove that palpator is only a melanic form of pulcher. ** Apanteles turcmenicus TOBIAS, 1967, Tpyati 3OOJI HHCT.
