60 (59) Penultimate joint of antenna twice to almost twice as long as broad (Fig. 52). Bastiarsal joint of hind tarsus relatively short, i.e. hind tarsal joints 2-5 only 1.3 times longer together than basitarsus (Fig. 53). Mesonotum somewhat shiny, rugosity somewhat less crowded and with more or less punctate elements, notaulix somewhat less indicated by crowded sculpture. Hind femur usually reddish yellow and apically black(ish), dark colour frequently variably extended. 9c/ : 3-3.5 mm. See also couplets 93 (94) and 107 (108). — Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Finland, Ireland A. callimone NIXON, 1974 (!!) — Mesonotum with dense and discrete punctation, shiny to subshiny, notaulix faintly indicated by crowded punctation. hind femur yellow, tegula also yellow to bright yellow (A. callimone: black to brownish black). $ çf : 3-3.2 mm. — Nearctic Region (USA) A. fiskei VIERECK, 1910 (!) 61 (58) Pair of spurs of hind tibia subequal in length, inner spur somewhat longer than outer spur and shorter than half basitarsus (Fig. 64). Pterostigma usually not narrow; rl usually not directed outwards (Fig. 63). 62 (63) Penultimate (or 17th) joint of antenna either cubic or at most somewhat longer than broad; antennái joints 16-15 also short, 1.1-1.2 times as long as broad (Fig. 54). First tergite conspicuously broadening behind, its hind width 1.2-1.3 times greater than medially long; third tergite evenly and nearly entirely rugose, this sculpture hardly weaker than that of tergites 1-2 (Fig. 11 in Papp 1986: 243). $ : 2.8-3 mm. Outer side of hind coxa usually with strong and almost confluent punctation, less frequently with fine punctation. For further details see couplet 16 (17) in riWu/w-subgroup (PAPP I.e.) A. inductus PAPP, 1973 (!!) — Penultimate three (or 17—15th) joints of antenna subcubic, hardly longer than broad. Outer side of hind coxa uneven or subrugulose. Tergites 1-3 with somewhat weaker rugosity. 9 '• 2.8-3 mm. Very similar to A- inductus. — Nearctic Region (Canada, USA) A. cyaniridis RILEY, 1889 (!) 63 (62) Penultimate (or 17th) joint of antenna at least 1.3-1.4 times longer than broad; antennái joints 16-15 distinctly longer than broad (Figs 62, 65). First tergite broadening behind in usual size, its hind width not greater than median length (Figs 55, 60, 66, 69), third tergite usually less strongly sculptured than tergites 1-2. 64 (67) Scutellum dull to subshiny, with fine though distinct and usually more or less dense punctation. Body relatively less strong, rather exceptionally longer than 2.5 mm. 65 (66) Mesonotum with rather fine and very dense rugosity giving it a characteristic sooty dullness. Maxillar palp 5-jointed, i.e. 5th ant 6th joints fused (Fig. 56). Head in dorsal view less transverse, 1.7-1.8 times broader than long (Fig. 13 in PAPP 1986: 243). Discoidal cell one-fourth wider than high, rl and cuqul about equal in length (Fig. 12 I.e.). Third tergite anteriorly rather weakly sculptured, its extent variable. A dark-coloured species. Wings subhyaline or faintly fumous, pterostigma opaque brownish. Femora and tegula black. Antenna black. Qç? : (2-)2.3-2.6 mm.
