Papp, J.: New braconid wasps (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, 2

Etymology - The new species is dedicated to its collector, Dr. TAMÁS PÓCS, well-known Hungarian botanist who, besides his botanical work, collected many insects in Tanzania. Remark - The holotype is damaged: (1) head broken and glued to fore margin of mesonotum, (2) fore left leg absent, hind right tarsus with two, left tarsus wiyh one segment(s). The new species, Yeliconespocsi sp. n., is similar to Y koreanus PAPP, 1985 and to Y nipponensis TOGASHI, 1980 their common features: (1) venation of fore wing (pterostigma, radial cell, second cubital cell), (2) from of first tergite and (3) quality of sculpture. The differentation of the three species is disclosed in tabular form: Y. koreanus PAPP 1. Radial cell long, length of radial cell along metacarp distinctly, i.e. 1.26 times as long as pterostigma; r3 three times as long as r2 (Fig. 67). 2. Hind corner of first tergite not produced, second tergite somewhat less transverse, i.e. 2.1 (-2.2) times wider behind than long medially (Fig. 76). 3. Hind femur less thick, 3.3 times as long as broad at its middle (Fig. 72). Y pocsi sp. n. 1. Radial cell short, length of radial cell along metacarp slightly longer than length of pterostigma; r3 just less than twice as long as r2 (Fig. 70). 2. Hind corner of first tergite slightly produced, second tergite somewhat more transverse, i.e. 2.26 times wider behind than long medially (Fig. 71, indicates produced corner). 3. Hind femur thick, 2.77 times as long as broad at its middle (Fig. 69). Y pocsi sp. n. 1. Eye in dorsal view not protruding from outline of head and 1.66 times as long as temple, latter strongly rounded (Fig. 68). 2. Radial cell short, length of radial cell along metacarp slightly longer than length of pterostigma; T3 just less than twice as long as r2 (Fig. 70). 3. First tergite just broader at hind than long, its hind corner slightly produced; second tergite transverse, 2.43 times as broad at hind as long medially (Fig. 71). 4. Legs throughout reddish yellow. 5. Body 5.1 mm long. Y nipponensis TOGASHI 1. Eye in dorsal view protruding from outline of head and twice as long as temple, latter rounded (Fig. 73). 2. Radial cell long, length of radial cell along metacarp 1.77 times as long as length of pterostigma; T3 five times as long as r2 (Fig. 74). 3 First tergite somewhat longer than broad at hind, its hind corner not produced; second tergite less transverse, 1.8 times as broad at hind as long medially (Fig. 77). 4. Legs yellowish, tibiae 1 -2 brownish, tibia 3 and hind basitarsus blackish. 5. Body 9-10 mm long. The new species resembles Y delicatus (CRESSON, 1872) (USA) in some respects, they are distinguished by the following features: Y. pocsi sp. n. 1. Radial cell short, length of radial cell along metacarp slightly longer than length of pterostigma; rJ just less than twice as long as r2 (Fig. 70). 2. Head above rather transversely rugose, mesonotum laterally rather with strong and confluent punctation, medially rather longitudinally punctate-rugose to rugose. 3. Eye in dorsal view protruding from outline of head and 1.66 times as long as temple, occiput less excavated (Fig. 68). Y. delicatus (CRESSON) 1. Radial cell long, length of radial cell along metacarp 1.6 times as long as length of pterostigma; r3 4.4 times as long as r2 (Fig. 78). 2. Head above and mesonotum with fine punctation, interspaces smooth, shiny and about as long as diameter of punctures. 3. Eye in dorsal view somewhat protruding from outline of head and twice as long as temple, occiput more excavated (Fig. 75).
