13 (12) Mesonotum punctate of finely punctate, notaulix indistinct. Head in dorsal view more transverse, at least twice broader than long, rl of fore wing distinctly longer than half width of pterostigma, cuqul shorter than rl (Fig. 69 in PAPP 1986 245 and Fig. 15). Hind half of first tergite and second tergite ralhcr laterally rugulose-uneven, medially more or less smooth, shiny. Wings hyaline. Tegulae black. Legs dark-coloured, all coxae and femora 2-3 black(ish). 14 (15) Mesonotum shiny to glistening and with fine, posteriorly weakening punctation. Hypopygium apically pointed, ovipositor sheath as long as second joint of hind tarsus (Fig. 68 in PAPP 1986: 245). Light colour of legs yellow to light brownish yellow. Body strongly built, $Q* : 2.5-3.5(-4 mm). Forfurther details see couplets 20 (19), 39 (40) and 180 (181) A. kazak TELENGA, 1949 (!!) 15 (14) Mesonotum densely and finely punctate, dull, or at most subshiny. Hypopygium apically blunt, ovipositor sheath clearly shorter than second joint of hind tarsus (Fig. 16). Light colour of legs rather infuscate yellow. Body less strongly built, 9cf : 1.6-2.8 mm, usually 2.4-2.6 mm. — Western Palaearctic Region, a frequent species A. pieridis (BOUCHÉ, 1834) (!) - Second tergite and first tergite usually polished. Mesonotum glistening, with disperse punctation, notaulix indicated by somewhat crowded punctation. Penultimate 3-4 joints of antenna short, 1.4-1.3 times as long as broad (A. pieridis and A. acuminatus: penultimate 3-4 joints 1.8-1.6 times as long as broad). Femora 2-3 reddish yellow, tegulae yellowish brown. Qçf: 2.2-2.6 mm. — Nearctic Region (Canada, USA) A. atalantae (PACKARD, 1881) (!) — Body a little elongated in form, mesosoma in lateral view 1.3-1.4 times as long as high. Notaulix indicated by crowded sculpture on mesonotum. Pterostigma 2.7-2.8 (-3) times longer than wide (cf. Fig. 5). Temple in lateral view as wide as eye. (A. pieridis: mesosoma 1.2 times as long as high; temple somewhat less wide.) Legs light coloured, femora 2-3 always, coxae usually reddish yellow. Similar to A. acuminatus too, but hypopygium shorter and less pointed, pterostigma long, temple wide, tergites black. Qrf : 2.3-2.6 mm. — Japan A. sasakii (WATANABE, 1932) (!) 16 (1) Hypopygium not large and rather blunt, usual in form; only in a few species somewhat surpassing tip of last tergite, usually ending before tip; ovipositor sheath usually not straight; i.e. somewhat downcurved. Metacarp variable in length. 17 (32) Tergites 1-2 almost smooth to smooth, frequently polished; both tergites at most laterally with weak sculpture. Inner spur of hind tibia usually longer than half basitarsus (Figs 25, 32). 18 (21) Tergites 1-2 weakly sculptured to almost smooth, however, inner spur of hind tibia clearly shorter or at most half as long as hind basitarsus. First tergite subparallel-sided, i.e. hardly broadening posteriorly (Figs 66-67 in PAPP 1986: 245 and Fig. 18). Hypopygium in lateral view large, surpassing end of last tergite (Fig. 68 in PAPP I.e. and Fig. 16). 19 (20) Mesonotum densely and finely punctate, dull or at most subshiny. Metacarp as long as pterostigma. Hypopygium apically blunt, ovipositor sheath clearly shorter than second joint of hind tarsus (Fig. 16). Pterostigma opaque light brown, veins proximally from pterostigma opaque yellowish to brownish coloured. Body less strongly built, : 1.6-2.8 mm, usually 2.4-2.6 mm. For further details see couplets 13 (12) — 15 (14) A. pieridis (BOUCHÉ, 1834) (!)
