RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERIN 1 131 



spurs rather short, the inner one reaching to about the middle of the hind basitarsus. Tergite 1 

 short, subquadrate. Ovipositor sheath about one and half times longer than the hind tibia. 

 Length: ca. 3-5 mm. without ovipositor. 



Europe. In addition to the Reinhard specimens, I have seen a series of 8 §£> 

 1 (J, from Finland, Tvarminne, H. Lindberg (Hellen Coll.). 



Host : Recorded by Reinhard as having been bred singly from Nephopteryx 

 abietella F., Homoesoma nimbella Dupouchel and Homoesoma nebulella Hiibner 

 (Crambidae). 



Superficially, this species is very similar to lacteoides of the merula-gvoup but differs 

 at once in having no propodeal keel and in the very different shape of tergite 1. 



The TERMINALIS-Grovp 

 Monobasic. 



Apanteles terminalis Gahan 



Apanleles (Psendapanteles) terminalis Gahan, 1912 : 2. 

 Apanteles terminalis Gahan ; Muesebeck, 1920 : 522. 



$. Two basal segments of the flagellum yellowish. 



Propodeum very coarsely rugose, its posterior corners produced ; between these prominent 

 posterior corners, the propodeum is markedly hollowed out to receive the base of the gaster. 

 Fore wing narrow ; radius leaving stigma considerably distal to middle (Text-fig. 111) ; 

 vannal lobe with long fringe of hairs throughout. Legs very slender, entirely yellow ; inner spur 

 of the hind tibia hardly half as long as the hind basitarsus. Tergite 1 rectangular, longer than 

 wide, turned over right at base and hence having prominent rounded shoulders anteriorly ; 

 densely rugose all over. Ovipositor sheath slightly longer than the hind tibia. 



Length : ca. 4 mm. without ovipositor. 



N. America. One female, two males from Illinois in British Museum. 



This highly aberrant species is apparently without close allies. In general habitus 

 it has much in common with the Indo-oriental schoenobii but there are several signifi- 

 cant differences such as the absence of propodeal areolation in terminalis and the 

 difference in the position of the nervulus. Further, as in most species of Apanteles, 

 schoenobii has the posterior tip of the scutellar disc smooth and polished. 



The CAM MA -Group 

 Monobasic. 



I have established this group for a single species from S. Africa, noteworthy 

 among other things for the pale banded antenna of the female. 



Apanteles camma sp. n. 



$. A brownish-black, rather slenderly built species. Scape yellow-red. Hind coxa yellow. 



Head large, distinctly wider than the mesoscutum, 6 : 5. Face shallowly punctate, the 

 punctures large. Ocelli in a high triangle, the posterior, transverse tangent to the anterior 

 ocellus passing far in front of the posterior pair. Flagellum very slender basally but becoming 

 thicker towards apex, the two preapical segments hardly longer than wide ; the yellow band 

 covers flagellar segments 6-7 and half of 8.
