PTEROMALIDAE OF N.W. EUROPE 207 



TELEPSOGINA Hedqvist 



Telepsogina Heqvist [Hedqvist], 1958 : 58. Type-species : T. adelognatlii Hedqvist, by original 

 designation. 



This genus is very close to Seladerma Walker but may be kept separate for the 

 present. The antennae of the type-species are unlike those of any species of 

 Seladerma, though in other respects it is very similar to some species of that genus. 



Telepsogina adelognathi Hedqvist 



Telepsogina adelognathi Heqvist [Hedqvist], 1958 : 59-60, $. 



Type material. Holotype $, Sweden, Dalarne, Alvdalen, Mossiberg, reared from 

 a batch of cocoons of Adelognathus tetracinctorius (Thunb.) (K. H. Forsslund), in 

 coll. Hedqvist, Stockholm. I have examined the holotype. 



Britain, Sweden. Britain (new record) : Oxfordshire, Otmoor, 1 $, 17.viii.1957 

 {Graham). 

 Biology. See above. Imagines appear in August. 



THEKTOGASTER Delucchi 



Thektogaster Delucchi, 1955 : 59. Type-species : Lamprotatus abdominalis Delucchi, 1953, by 



original designation. 

 Thektogaster Delucchi ; Peck et al., 1964 : 39. 



The species were revised by Delucchi (1955) who recognized two. In the present 

 work three species are considered to be valid. Their females only are known. 



Key to European Species 

 (Females) 



1 Costal cell of hind wing bare up to the level of beginning of marginal vein. 



Scutellar frenum with some longitudinal costulae. Speculum of fore wing 

 reaching the basal vein. Gaster about 3-5 times as long as broad and about 

 1 -5 times as long as the thorax. 



Antennal clava with micropilosity on its second and third segments only 



abdominalis Delucchi (p. 208) 



- Costal cell of hind wing with a row of hairs extending nearly to its base. 



Scutellar frenum either reticulate, or if with some longitudinal costulae as 

 well, then the speculum of the fore wing is reduced to an oval area lying 

 below the parastigma and does not reach the basal vein. Gaster 2-5 to 2-8 

 times as long as broad ......... 2 



2 (1) Antennal clava with micropilosity on its second and third segments. Fore wing 



with speculum, on upper surface of wing, extending as far as the basal vein. 

 Scutellar frenum finely reticulate with at most some indistinct longitudinal 

 striae. Hypopygium reaching about half way along gaster 



subvirescens (Zetterstedt) (p. 208) 



— All three segments of the antennal clava with micropilosity. Fore wing with 



speculum reduced to an oval area lying below the parastigma, and not reach- 

 ing the basal vein. Scutellar frenum with longitudinal striae. Hypopygium 

 reaching hardly one third along the gaster . . chrysis (Forster) (p. 208)
