PTEROMALIDAE OF N.W. EUROPE 209 



- Fore wing with stigma smaller, separated by distinctly more than its own height from 

 the lower edge of the postmarginal vein, distinctly longer than high. Propodeum 

 with median area virtually smooth ; plicae traceable nearly to the base of the 

 sclerite ........ flammeus (Delucchi) (p. 209) 



Glyphognathus umbelliferae Graham 



? Stictomischus convexus Delucchi, 1953a : 210, $. 

 Glyphognathus umbelliferae Graham, 1956 : 82-83, q* $. 

 Glyptognathus [sic] umbelliferae Graham ; Boucek, 1961 : 67. 



Type material. Stictomischus convexus Delucchi. Type $ (not seen), Upper 

 Austria, Weyer, 5.ix.igi8, in Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna. Delucchi makes 

 no mention of the excised mandible in his description but in other respects this 

 agrees well with umbelliferae. It will be necessary to re-examine the type of 

 convexus. 



Glyphognathus umbelliferae Graham. Holotype $ in Hope Department, Oxford, 

 England, Berkshire, Bagley Wood, em. 23.vii.1927 from Phytomyza sphondylii 

 R.-D. on Heracleum [A. H. Hamm). 



Britain, Ireland, ? Austria, Czechoslovakia. 



Biology. Reared in England from Phytomyza sphondylii R.-D. on Heracleum ; 

 Ph. pastinacae Hend. ; Ph. solidaginis Hend. on Solidago virgaurea L.

Stictomischus flammeus Delucchi, 1953a : 211, 212, ?. 

 Gitognathus flammeus Delucchi, 1955 : 68, figs. 93, 94, $. 



Type material in Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna (Delucchi, 1953a : 212). 

 Delucchi cited two localities, Bohlerwerk an der Ybbs (Niederosterreich) (S. 

 Novicky) ; Hogy^sz (Ungarn), 27.6.1946 (/. Erdos) but did not designate a type 

 specimen. I have not seen the syntypes ; however, my British specimen agrees so 

 well with Delucchi 's description that I am convinced it must he flammeus ; he does 

 not mention the form of the mandibles, which would decide the question. 



Britain, Austria, Hungary. New record : England, Oxfordshire, Otmoor, 

 21.viii.1955, one female taken on a flower-head of Angelica sylvestris L. [Graham). 

 Biology. Unknown.
