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

Aspilota impar sp. n. (Figs 18-26) Type material - Female holotype: Hungary, Budapest, Városliget, food of the host: Agaricus subperonatus (J. LANGE) SING., Fungi: Agaricaceae), 16 July 1970, leg. et educ. M. BABOS. - Holotype is in fairly good condition: (1) glued by mesosternum on a pointed card; (2) missing: left flagellum, right hind wing, right hind leg; (3) tarsomeres 3-5 of left fore leg glued separately. The holotype is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Department of Zoology), Budapest, Hym. Typ. No. 11298. Etymology - The new species received the name "impar" (unique) owing to the truncate form of the upper tooth of its mandible (Fig. 21 ) unusual among the Aspilota species. Description of the female holotype - Body 1.9 mm long. Antenna short, as long as head and two-thirds of mesosoma combined, with 15 antennomeres. Flagellum thick: first flagellomere twice, second flagellomere 1.57 times and penultimate flagellomere 1.5 times as long as broad (Fig. 18). - Head in dorsal view (Fig. 19) transverse, 1.8 times as broad (between temples) as long, temple somewhat swollen, i.e. head between temples somewhat broader than between eyes; temple slightly longer than eye; occiput excavated. Tentorial pit touching compound eye (cfi Fig. 2). Eye in lateral view 1.6 times as high as wide and 0.8 times as wide as temple (i.e. temple 1.2 times wider than eye) (Fig. 20, see arrows). Mandible almost 1.5 times as long medially as broad between upper and lower teeth; upper tooth truncate, middle tooth pointed (Fig. 21). Head polished, face and clypeus with upwards directed hairs. Mesosoma in lateral view 1.25 times as long as high. Notaulix shallow and restricted to declivous part of mesoscutum. Mesoscutal dimple missing. Precoxal suture short, crenulate, restricted to middle of mesopleuron. Propodeum with a distinct and wide areola basalis, along carination rugulose, pair of spiracles fairly large (Fig. 22). Mesosoma polished. - Hind femur three times as long as broad medially (Fig. 23). Hind tarsus one-fifth longer than hind tibia; hind basitarsus as long as tarsomeres 2-3 combined. Fore wing slightly longer than body. Pterostigma distinct, parallel-sided and eight times as long as wide, issuing r proximally from its middle, r shorter than width of pterostigma; second submarginal cell proximally widening, 3-SR 1.6 times as long as 2-SR (Fig. 24), SRI somewhat more than twice as long as 3-SR and reaching tip of wing. Vein l-2CU(l) almost 1.8 times longer than m-cu (Fig. 25, see arrows). First tergite (Fig. 26) just less than 1.5 times as long as broad behind, pair of spiracles at middle of tergite, beyond spiracles tergite broadening, pair of keels meeting near before middle of tergite, medially rather striolate, posteriorly smooth. Beyond first tergite metasoma polished. Ovipositor sheath as long as hind tarsomeres 1-2 combined. Scape and pedicel yellow, flagellum brown to dark brown. Head and mesosoma dark brown, mandible yellow, palpi light yellow. Tegula brownish yellow. Metasoma brown to dark brown with faint rusty tint. Legs yellow. Wings hyaline, pterostigma proximally brown, distally yellow, veins brownish to almost colourless.
