(Fig. 199). First flagellar joint 2.3-2.4 times longer than broad. Inner spur of third tibia almost as long as half basitarsus. Cu of hind wing long (Fig. 200). First tergite posteriorly slightly widening, otherwise together with tergites 2-3 very similar to that of A. homoeosomae (Fig. 201). Costal vein brown. — Hungary A. interpolatus PAPP, 1975 (!!) 201 (196) First tergite at most 1.3 times longer than its greatest width posteriorly, usually with subparallel sides (Figs. 202, 206, 214, 217). 202 (205) Inner margin of eyes obviously, but never strongly, converging towards oral part (Fig. 203). Wings with milky tint. Ovipositor sheath as long as third tibia + basitarsus. 203 (204) Head (in dorsal view) obviously not so wide as thorax between tegulae (Fig. 16, in NIXON 1972: 740). Preapical three joints of antenna transverse to cubic (Fig. 164). Mesonotum with discrete, relatively deep and strong punctation, interspaces polished and minutely increasing in size posteriorly (Fig. 9). r 1 +cuqu\ distinctly longer than width of stigma (Fig. 165). Nervellus of hind wing more incurved, Cu relatively broad (Fig. 167). Prescutellar furrow relatively deep. 9 : 3-3.5 mm, çf: 3 mm. — England, Hungary, Bulgaria, Mongolia A. drusilla NIXON, 1972, (!!) nom. rev.* 204 (203) Head (in dorsal view) normally as wide as thorax and at most indistinctly or slightly narrower than thorax between tegulae. Preapical three joints of antenna at least a quarter longer than broad, only exceptionally subcubic. Mesonotum with discrete, though relatively less deep and less strong punctation, interspaces faintly dull to subshiny, along notaulic course punctures somewhat crowded (Fig. 1). r\-\-cuqu\ hardly longer than width of stigma (Fig. 204). Nervellus of hind wing less incurved, Cu relatively long (Fig. 205). Prescutellar furrow relatively shallow. 9 : 3-3.3 mm,çf : 2.5-3 mm. — England, Hungary, Corsica, European USSR, Turkey, Mongolia A. albipennis (NEES, 1834)*, sp. rev.** 205 (202) Inner margin of eyes parallel (Fig. 210). Wings subfumous or hyaline. Ovipositor sheath either as long as third tibia + half basitarsus or longer. 206 (207) First tergite very slightly widening posteriorly and somewhat rounded at rear (Fig. 206). Mesonotum relatively with not closely placed punctures, interspaces shiny and slightly but obviously increasing in size posteriorly, notauli indistinct. Nervellus of hind wing arched (Fig. 207). rl minutely longer than cuqui, meeting each other in an angle (Fig. 208). Inner spur of hind tibia somewhat shorter than half basitarsus. Basal half of third tibia yellow, rest blackish. 9 : 2.8 mm. — Mongolia A. bersus PAPP, 1976b (!!) 207 (206) First tergite not widening posteriorly (Figs. 214, 217). Mesonotum relatively with closely placed punctation, interspaces subshiny to dull and at most indistinctly increasing posteriorly, notauli distinct by more or less crowded punctation (Fig. 17). Nervellus of hind wing faintly arched (Fig. 211). rl usually longer than cuqui (Fig. 212). * See footnote on p. 292-293 to couplet 153 (154): '""Previously .. . them." ** Since the end of the last century. A. albipennis NEES is considered as a synonym of A. lacteipennis CURT. (SHENEFELT 1972). My interpretation of the two species is based on the examination of the "Type" (A. lacteipennis) and on authentically identified (det. MARSHALL) specimens (A. albipennis)

, the former housed in the Victoria Museum (Melbourne), the latter deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest). The distinctness of the two species is obvious and, therefore,! re-establish A. albipennis as a specific name. See further comments at the footnote of A. lacteipennis CURT. , p.
