Papp, J.: Seven new species of Aspilota Foerster from the Palaearctic Region (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Alysiinae)

Propodeum areolated, areola basalis wide, about five times wider anteriorly than basally, areolae polished, latero-basalpair of areolae uneven, pair of spiracles distinct (Fig. 5). - Hind femur 4.2 times as long as broad distally (Fig. 6). Hind basitarsus as long as tarsomeres 2-4 combined. Fore wing long, 1.4 times as long as body. Pterostigma eight times as long as wide and issuing r proximally from its middle, r twice longer than width of pterostigma; 3-SR twice as long as 2-SR, SRI 2.5 times as long as 3-SR and reaching tip of wing (Fig. 7). Vein 1-2CU(1) 2.3 times as long as m-cu (Fig. 8, see arrows). First tergite (Fig. 9) 2.3 times as long as broad behind, beyond pair of spiracles parallel-sided, rugo-rugulose with longitudinal rugae. Tergites 2 and 3 of equal length, tergites (beyond first tergite) polished. Ovipositor sheath as long as hind tarsomeres 1-3 combined or one-fourth shorter than hind tibia. Apical end of ovipositor sheath as in Fig. 10. Ground colour of body brown, head above and mesoscutum + scutellum somewhat darker. Scape, pedicel and first flagellomere yellow, flagellum brown. Palpi pale yellow. Mandible yellow. Legs yellow. First tergite brownish yellow, second tergite basally with yellowish suffusion. Wings hyaline, veins greyish yellowish. Male and host unknown. Distribution - Hungary. Remarks - Aspilota digitula sp. n. is nearest to A. fuscicornis (HALIDAY, 1838) and runs to this species in FlSCHER's (1976: 346-357) key. The two species are separated by the following features: 1(2) Middle (or second) tooth of mandible narrow and long, i.e. digitiform (Fig. 3). Second tergite latero-basally with a pair of dimples (Fig. 9). Areola basalis of propodeum distinctly more broadening anteriorly (Fig. 5). Eye in dorsal view longer than temple (Fig. 1). Female: 2 mm. Hungary A. digitula sp. n. 2(1) Middle (or second) tooth of mandible widening basally and shorter (Fig. 12). Second tergite latero-basally with a pair of fairly long longitudinal grooves (Fig. 11). Areola basalis of propodeum less broadening anteriorly (Fig. 13). Eye in dorsal view as long as temple (minute deviations possible) (Fig. 14). Female, male: 1.7-2 mm. Europe, Mongolia, Korea A. fuscicornis (HALIDAY, 1838)
