PTEROMALIDAE OF N.W. EUROPE 67 



of Pteromalidae. The females of Neodipara are unknown ; when discovered they 

 may help to solve the question of the relationships of the genus. As the latter 

 appears relatively isolated, I propose to treat the group provisionally as a sub- 

 family. 



NEODIPARA Erdos 



Neodipara Erdos, 1955 : 296-297. Type-species : N. perbella Erdos, by monotypy and 

 original designation. 



Two species of the genus have been described, but only in the male sex. 



Key to European Species 



(Males) 



1 Less slender species ; thorax about 1-75 times as long as broad ; scutellum a little 

 broader than long. Gaster forming a relatively shorter oval ; hind margin of 

 basal tergite weakly curved. Distal segments of antennal funicle strongly trans- 

 verse. Legs yellowish with fore and mid coxae dark ; fore and mid femora 

 slightly infuscate ........ perbella Erdos (p. 67) 



- More slender species ; thorax about twice as long as broad ; scutellum as long as 

 broad. Gaster long-oval ; hind margin of basal tergite quite strongly curved. 

 Distal segments of antennal funicle only moderately transverse. All coxae, 

 femora, and tibiae, except their articulations, black . . masneri Boucek (p. 67)

EUNOTINAE 



This group is easily recognized by the squat shape of the body and the characters 

 of the head (see key to subfamilies). 



The type-genus of this group, Eunotus, was placed in Pteromalidae by Walker 

 (1834) and Forster (1856, as Megapelte). Motschulsky (1863 : 69-70) coined the 

 name Muscidides for some members of the group, but it has not been accepted.
