increasing in size (Fig. 30). First tergite (Fig. 189) parallel-sided, 1.4 times longer than wide at hind, its horizontal half with faintly raised rugo-rugolosity, subshiny. Hind margin of second tergite sinuate (Fig. 189). Ovipositor sheath as long as third tibia + tarsal joints 1-2, its distal half downcurved and widening. Stigma 2.4 times longer than broad, emitting radial vein distally from its middle, rl longer than cuqui (20: 15, X 100, Fig. 190). dl as long as or indistinctly longer than dl. Third tibia brownish yellow, apically black. Çj : 3.53.6 mm, çf : 2.8-3.3 mm. — Austria A. turionellae NIXON, 1971 (!!)* 195 (194) Two spurs of third tibia either subequal or unequal, however, inner spur at most as long as half basitarsus. Head behind eyes (in dorsal view) less gradually rounded (Figs. 197, 209). 196 (201)** First tergite 1.4-1.5 times longer than wide at hind, usually with parallel sides (Figs. 192, 194, 201). 197 (198) Second tergite (Fig. 192) less transverse, at most thrice broader than its length medially; third tergite at most one-and-a-half times longer than second one (measured medially). Horizontal half of first tergite and entire second tergite rather longitudinally rugulose. Ovipositor sheath as long as third tibia + half basitarsus. Scutellum relatively broad at hind (Fig. 193). Posterior imaginary tangent to fore ocellus touching or indistinctly transecting hind two ocelli, distance between fore and a hind ocelli shorter than diameter of hind ocellus. Preapical two antennái joints 1.2 times longer than broad. Tegulae pale yellow. Legs 1-2, except black coxae, bright yellow, second femur blackish at base. Basal half of third tibia whitish yellow, distal half blackish. Palpi pale. 9 : 2.83 mm,çf: 2.5-2.7 mm. — Nearctic Region A. clavatus (PROVANCHER, 1881) (!) 198 (197) Second tergite (Figs. 194, 201) more transverse, at least 3.5 times broader than its length medially; third tergite az least 1.8-2 times longer than second one (measured medially). Horizontal half of first tergite with vague punctation, interspaces smooth or almost smooth, second tergite polished. Ovipositor sheath as long as third tibia + tarsal joints 1-2. Scutellum relatively less broad at hind (Fig. 198). Tegulae brown or blackish (brown). Light colour of legs brownish yellow. 199 (200) Head (in dorsal view) obviously not so wide as width of thorax between tegulae. Ocelli forming a low triangle, hind imaginary tangent to anterior ocellus distinctly transecting posterior pair. Stigma 2.1 times longer than broad, emitting radial vein hardly distally from its middle (Fig. 195). First flagellar joint twice longer than broad. Inner spur of third tibia slightly longer than one-third basitarsus, i. e. much shorter than half basitarsus. Cu of hind wing broad (Fig. 196). First tergite anteriorly slightly widening, otherwise together with tergites 2-3 very similar to that of A. interpolatus (Fig. 194). Costal vein yellow. 9 : 2.5-3 mm, r f '• 2.5 mm. — U. S. A., Cuba A. homoeosomae MUESEBECK, 1933 (!)*** 200 (199) Head (in dorsal view) as wide as thorax between tegulae or at most indistinctly narrower. Ocelli forming a relatively high triangle, hind imaginary tangent to anterior ocellus touching or at most faintly transecting posterior pair. Stigma 2.3 times longer than broad, emitting radial vein less distally from its middle * The specimens named by me as A. turionellae NIXON (PAPP 1975) represent another species tsp. n. ?) which I had compared with the type-specimens of my A. interpolatus PAPP. ** The species included in couplets 196 (201)-209 (208) are extremely difficult to distinguish. * ** See footnote to couplet 208 (209) of A. phatoniae WILK. on p. 296.
