Body 2.1 mm long. Head in dorsal view (Fig. 1) subcubic, 1.55 times broader than long, temple slightly longer than eye, former strongly rounded. Malar space about as long as basal width of mandible. Entire head polished. Frontal suture hardly distinct before anterior ocellus, otherwise indistinct. In lateral view eye 1.6 times higher than wide and only somewhat wider than temple (Fig. 2). Ocelli small, POL 1.7 times longer than greatest diameter of a hind ocellus, OOL nearly twice as long as POL. Antenna with 17 joints; first flagellar joint one-sixth longer than second joint ; first flagellar joint four times, second flagellar joint three times longer than apically broad, further joints gradually shortening and slightly attenuating so that penultimate two joints subcubic, i.e. only somewhat longer than broad (5 : 4, X 100). Mesosoma in lateral view distinctly 1.4 times as long as high. Pronotum rugo-rugulose, broad along its upper margin, smooth to polished. Propodeum rather transversely rugulose, with a weak and medio-longitudinal carina. Sternaulix rugose-rugulose. Scutellum smooth and margined. Notaulix evenly deep and with very fine crenulation. Otherwise mesosoma smooth and shiny. Hind femur distinctly 5.5 times as long as broad. Claws 1-2 without blackish bristles. Fore wing about as long as body. Pterostigma (Fig. 3) issuing radial vein from its middle; rl as long as width of pterostigma, r2 almost straight and reaching tip of wing. DI wide, 1.5 times wider than high (Fig. 3, see arrows), widely truncate at parastigma. Subdiscal (or brachial) cell closed though second section of submedian vein faintly pigmented. Metasoma as long as mesosoma. First tergite (Fig. 4) almost twice longer than wide at hind, and parallel-sided (i.e. indistinctly broadening posteriorly); its anterior half smooth to uneven, its posterior half rugose; its pair of basal keels extending to half of tergite and here merging into rugosity. Further tergites polished. Ovipositor sheath long, one-fifth longer than hind tibia. Body brown. Mandible brownish yellow, palpi pale yellow. Antenna brownish yellow. Tegula yellow. Legs brownish yellow, tarsi rather yellow. Wings hyaline, pterostigma and veins brownish yellow. Q* and host unknown. Locality —Holotype 9 : "India, Jammu & Kashmir, Srinagar, 1500 m" (first label), "No. 405, 26 V 1967, leg. Topái" (second label). Holotype is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest; Hym. Typ. No. 7017. The new species, Blacus (B.) imitator sp. n., is related to B. (B.) instabilis RUTHE, 1861 (Palaearctic Region), and they are clearly differentiated by the following features: B. imitator sp. n. 1. DI widely truncate apically at parastigma. Metacarp distinctly longer than pterostigma. Nervulus issuing from proximal third of d (Fig. 3). B. instabilis RUTHE 1. Dl pointed apically at parastigma. Metacarp at most slightly longer than pterostigma. Nervulus issuing from middle or near to middle of d (Fig. 6).
