O. toleráns sp. n. is also related to O. (U.) scrutator TOBIAS, 1977 (European USSR, Germany), they are distinguished by the following features: O. toleráns sp. n. O. scrutator TOB. 1. Body 2.3 mm long. 2. Stigma wide, twice as long as wide; r3 1.5 times as long as rl (Fig. 19). 3. Ovipositor sheath short, in lateral view as long as half hind tibia, or hind tarsal joints 1-2. 4. Tergites 2-3 with longitudinal striation. 1. Body 2.5-3 mm long. 2. Stigma less wide, distinctly thrice as long as wide; r3 1.7 times as long as rl (Fig. 23). 3. Ovipositor sheath long, in lateral view as long as hind tibia. 4. Tergites 2-3 with strio-rugosity. Opius (Stomosema) ziratus sp. n. (Figs. 8-10) $. Body 1.8 mm long. Head in dorsal view transverse, distinctly twice broader than long, behind eyes temple rounded, eye only slightly longer than temple. Face together with clypeus subquadrate, slightly wider than high. Clypeus semicircular, twice wider below than high medially. Distance between tentorial pits 1.7 times greater than distance between a pit and lowest point of eye. Mouth closed. Mandible gradually broadening basally, i.e. without subtooth below at its base. Eye in lateral view (Fig. 8) less than twice as high as wide, its width equalling greatest width of temple. Ocelli small, distance between two ocelli twice as long as greatest diameter of a hind elliptic ocellus. OOL one-third longer than POL. Head polished; face along inner margin of eye uneven. Antenna one-third longer than body, with 21 joints. First flagellar joint four times as long as broad, further joints shortening so that penultimate joint twice as long as broad. Thorax in lateral view stout, slightly longer than high. Thorax polished; propodeum around lunule and along hind margin rugulose, its declivous part uneven to smooth, otherwise polished. Notaulix restricted to declivous part of mesonotum. Mesonotal dimple absent. Sternaulix lineraly depressed, crenulated. Hind femur 4.5 times longer than broad distally. Hind tibia one-seventh longer than hid tarsus. Fore wing one-third as long as body. Stigma (Fig. 10) narrow, subparallel-sided, nearly ten times longer than wide, issuing radial vein from its proximal third. Latter reaching tip of wing, rl as long as width of stigma, rl 1.9 times longer than cuqul, r3 twice longer than rl. Cui weakly narrowing distally, n. rec. postfurcal and slightly shorter than d. Metasoma longer than thorax, but shorter than head and thorax together. First tergite (Fig. 9) one-third longer than wide at hind, from base to spiracles moderately broadening, behind latter parallel-sided. Pair of converging keels merging into rugulosity at the middle, hind or horitonzal surface of first tergite evenly rugulose. Further tergits polished. Ovipositor sheath in lateral view as long as hind basitarsus + half second tarsal joint. Head and thorax brownish black, metasoma dark brown, second tergite with faint rusty suffusion. Clypeus, labrum and mandible dark yellow, palpi dirty yellow. Apex of mandible dark brown. Scape reddish, fiagellum dark brown. Tegula rusty brown, parategula yellowish brown. Legs brownish yellow, coxae brownish. Last tarsal joint and apex of hind tibia infuscate, claws dark brown. Wings subjyline, stigma and veins with brown pigmentation. çf and host unknown. Locality — Holotype 9 : Germany (FRG), Schlitz/Hessen, Breitenbach, Gewächshaus, August 1970. Holotype is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest; Hym. Typ. No. 5288. In the Palaearctic Region so far only two species are known within the subgenus Stomosema FISCHER. The new species, O. ziratus sp. n., is rather related to O. (S.) gyoerfii FISCHER, 1958 (Hungary, Finland). The three species may be distinguished by the following key: 1 (2) Mandible gradually broadening basally, i. e. without subtooth below at its base. Antenna with 21 joints. First tergite one-third longer than wide at hind (Fig. 9). Propodeum smooth and shiny, rl 1.9 times longer than cuqul (Fig. 10). Head and thorax
