Papp, J.: Nine new Chorebus Haliday species from Central Europe (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae: Dacnusini)

Nine new Chorebus sp. from Central Europe (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) 103 Mesosoma in lateral view 1.4 times as long as high, polished. Notaulix weakly distinct anteriorly. Anterior half of mesoscutum rugulose to granulöse, otherwise smooth and shiny. Precoxal sulcus wide and crenulate (Fig. 26). Propodeum rugulose and barely hairy; metapleuron densely hairy (hairs not rosette-shaped). - Hind coxa without hair tuft. Hind femur 4.1 times as long as wide distally (Fig. 27). Hind tibia somewhat longer than hind tarsus, hind basitarsus as long as tarsomeres 2-3 and one-third of tarsomere 4 combined (Fig. 28). Forewing as long as body. Pterostigma (Fig. 29, see arrows) ten times as long as wide, parallel-sided, r slightly longer than width of pterostigma; 1-R1 0.6 times as long as pterostigma, 3-SR + SRI reaching tip of wing, SRI faintly S-form. First subdiscal cell distally open, i.e. Culb missing (Fig. 30, see arrow). First tergite 1.4 times as long as wide behind, subparallel-sided, i.e. slightly widening at hind end, pair of basal keels reaching middle ot tergite and not meeting, pair of spiracles at middle of tergite, tergite itself rugulose with rugose elements (Fig. 31). Further tergites polished. Hypopygium truncate, ovipositor sheath short, as long as middle tarsomeres 3-4 combined (Fig. 32). Scape and pedicel yellow, flagellomeres l-3(-4) darkening yellow, rest of flagellum greyish brown. Head, mesosoma and first tergite black, metasoma citrus yellow. Mandible deep yellow, clypeus yellow, palpi straw yellow. Tegula and parategula yellow. Legs also yellow. Wings hyaline, pterostigma and veins light brown. Male and host unknown. Distribution - Slovakia. Remarks - Cborebus (Stiphrocera

) citreus sp. n. is nearest to Ch. (St.) rubicundus GRIFFITHS (1968£>: 78) owing to their citrus or orange yellow metasoma and citrus yellow legs as well as the anteriorly roughened mesoscutum, the bare first tergite and the less hairy propodeum; the two species are distinguished as follows: 1(2) Precoxal sulcus narrow, weakly crenulate (Fig. 33). Upper tooth of mandible less expanded (Fig. 34). Hind tarsus as long as hind tibia, basitarsus as long as tarsomeres 2-3 combined (Fig. 35). First tergite evenly and slightly widening posteriorly (Fig. 36) or subparallel-sided (cf. Fig. 129). Face smooth. Forewing: r distinctly longer than width of pterostigma, SRI ending before tip of wing, pterostigma twice as long as 1-R1 (Fig. 37, see arrows). Antenna with 24-28 antennomeres. Metasoma deep orange yellow to brownish yellow. Female and male: 1.8-2.2 mm. - Germany, Poland, Hungary, Armenia Ch. (Stiphrocera
