B. (B.) gilvus sp. n. 8 (7) Antenna with 32 antennomeres, proximal antennomeres subcubic. First tergite quadratic, about as long as broad behind, strongly broadening posteriorly. Suture between tergites 2-3 weakly bisinuate; tergites 2-6 roughly rugose, posterior fifth of tergites (along hind margin) smooth and shiny. Ovipositor sheath much longer than metasoma.

Ç (Figs 45-48) Material examined - Holotype Ç: Korea, Pyongyang City, Mt Daesong, hot sunny afternoon, mixed scrub-wood consisting of mainly Castanea crenata, Pinus densiflora, Quercus dentata, Qu. mongolica, Syringa vulgaris, sweeping and beating the vegetation, 16 June 1988, leg. Merkl & Szél, loc. No. 1317. Holotype is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Department of Zoology), Budapest, Hym Typ. No. 7712. Etymology - The species name "merseli" is a combination of the surnames of the two collectors, Dr OTTÓ MERKL and Dr GYŐZŐ SZÉL, of the new species. Description of the holotype Ç. - Body 3.4 mm long. Head in dorsal view (Fig. 45) less transverse, 1.62 times as broad as long, eye 1.46 times as long as temple, latter receded, occiput weakly excavated. Ocelli small and almost round, POL:OD:OOL as 6:4:10. Eye in lateral view one-third higher than wide and 1.66 times as wide as temple. Malar space half as long as basal width of mandible, i.e. base of mandible unusually broad (Fig. 46). Circular opening twice as wide as shortest distance between margin of opening and eye. Face and frons granular, cheek densely granular; vertex, occiput and temple polished. - Antenna about as long as body and with 33 antennomeres. First flagellomere 1.66 times as long as broad, further flagellomeres indistinctly attenuating so that penultimate flagellomere 1.8 times as long as broad. Mesosoma in lateral view 1.4 times as long as high. Notaulix weakly distinct, indicated by a row of setae. Prescutellar furrow narrow, crenulated. Mesosoma polished. - Hind femur 4.16 times as long as broad medially (Fig. 47); hind basitarsus as long as tarsomeres 2-4. Fore wing about as long as body. Pterostigma (cf. Fig. 15) 3.6 times as long as wide, issuing radial vein (rl) proximally from its middle; rl as long as width of pterostigma, r2 one-third longer than cuqul, r3 1.48 times as long as r2 and reaching tip of wing. N. rec. antefurcal. Dl wide, cul 1.4 times as long as n.bas.2 (cf. Fig. 38). Metasoma a bit longer and distinctly broader than mesosoma. First tergite (Fig. 48) as long as broad behind, basally half as broad as behind, from base to spiracle strongly, beyond spiracle weakly broadening, plate laterally from scutum with strong crenulae, plate anteriorly rugose. Second tergite 2.3 times as broad behind as long medially and one-fourth longer than third tergite, suture between tergites 2-3 bisinuate and crenulated. Tergites 2-3 rugose; second tergite anteriorly with three small polished fields, lateral field with a few small punctures, lateral part of second tergite somewhat impressed. Further tergites rugose; tergites 3-6 before their hind margin with a transverse linear and finely crenulated furrow. Ovipositor sheath longer than fore wing. Ground colour of body black, tergites laterally rusty red, sternites somewhat lighter. Mandible yellow, apically brownish, palpi brown. Antenna and tegula black. Coxae 1 brownish black, coxae
