Abstract — A key to the species of the glomeratus-sxibgroup completing the entire species-group glomeratus (the subgroups tibialis and brevicornis are keyed in part LX) as well as to the species of cultellatus-group. The glomeratus-subgroup and the cultellatus-group comprise 103 Apanteles species (i.e. 62 European, 15 East Palaearctic and 26 Nearctic species). A new species, Apanteles peltoneni sp. n. 0O,is described. Original type-examinations revealed the following new synonymies : 1. Apanteles kurdjumovi TELENGA, 1955 (sen. name) = Apanteles laverna NIXON, 1974 syn. n. 2. Apanteles salebrosus MARSHALL, 1885 (sen. name) = Apanteles callunae NIXON, 1974 syn. n. 3. Microgaster affinis NEES, 1834 (sen. name) = Apanteles okamotoi WATANABE, 1932 syn. n.; = Apanteles planus Watanabe, 1932, syn. n. 4. Microgaster cajae BOUCHÉ, 1834 (sen. name) = Microgaster difficilis NEES, 1834 syn. n. 5. Microgaster rubripes HALIDAY, 1834 (sen. name) = Apanteles coryphe NIXON, 1974 syn. n. All species included in key as well as the synonymous names are listed in alphabetical order. Designation of lectotype for the species Microgaster juniperatae BOUCHÉ, 1834, and taxonomical remarks on Microgaster picipes BOUCHÉ, 1834. With 231 figures. THE GLOMERATUS-SUBGROUP The following features characterize the species of the glomeratus-subgvoxxp: 1. Outer side of hind coxa smooth and shiny, at most with fine and rather disperse punctation, or uneven and rather subshiny. 2. Mesonotum punctate with variable size, notaulix either distinct or absent. Scutellum usually smooth. 3. Antenna of females about as long as body, frequently somewhat longer; that of males always longer. 4. First tergite of variable size broadening posteriorly, sometimes subparallel-sided (i.e. faintly broadening posteriorly). 5. Head, meso- and metasoma usually black or brownish black, legs either dark-coloured or with reddish yellow pattern. KEY TO THE SPECIES OF THE GLOMERATUS-SVBGROUP Females 1 (16) Hypopygium conspicuously large and pointed, usually surpassing tip of last tergite; ovipositor sheath straight (Figs 1,14,16, 226). Metacarp (of the European species) relatively short, about as long as pterostigma, i.e. its own length 2.5-2.7 times longer than distance between its distal end and tip of radial vein (Figs 2, 15). 2 (5) Third tergite on its basal half to two-thirds with posteriorly somewhat weakening rugosity; tergites 1-2 with strong rugosity.
