Britain. 



Biology. Unknown ; the species may be associated with some host on Betida, on 

 which I have more than once taken it. Imagines June- July. 



Ecrizotes filicornis (Thomson) 



Henicetrus filicornis Thomson, 1876 : 191, $. 



Type material. Lectotype $ labelled " O " [Oland] ; " $ " ; " filicornis " [in 

 Thomson's handwriting]. The specimen also bears two labels added by A. Jansson 

 viz., his lectotype label and another reading " Ecrizotes filicornis Ths. A. Jansson ", 



Britain, Sweden. 



Biology. Unknown. Imagines June-August. 



Note. The male taken in a nest of Formica rufa by Donisthorpe in England, and 

 referred to Ecrizotes filicornis by Ferriere (1934 : 88, footnote 2 and fig. ic) does not 

 belong to that species. A specimen in the BM(NH) which appears to be this male, 

 is a Gastrancistrus. 



The specimens recorded as longicornis (Walker), from Czechoslovakia by Boucek 

 (1961 : 58) will have to be re-examined in order to determine whether they are 

 fdocirnis (Thomson) or longicornis (Walker). 



SPATHOPUS Ashmead 



Spathopus Ashmead, 1904 : 272. Type-species : S. anomalipes Ashmead, by monotypy and 



original designation. 

 Spathopus Ashmead ; Schmiedeknecht, 1909 : 270, 271-272. 

 Spathopus Ashmead ; Ferriere, 1934 : 86, 88. 

 Spathopus Ashmead ; Boucek, 1964a : 254-257. 



This genus was little understood until Boucek (1964) discovered a new species in 

 Europe ; this was compared by Burks with the type-specimen of anomalipes 

 Ashmead, following which Boucek gave a redescription of the genus (1964 : 255-257). 



Only one European species is known. 



Spathopus hofferi Boucek 



Spathopus hofferi Boucek, 1964a : 257-258, o* ?• 



Type material. Holotype $, Southern Slovakia, Kamenin near Sturovo, on 

 halophilous vegetation, 17. ix. 1947, (A. Hoffer), in Narodni Museum, Prague (Cat. no. 

 25.766). Paratypes in coll. Boucek and in Zoological Institute of the Academy of 

 Sciences, Leningrad. 



Czechoslovakia, U.S.S.R. 

 Biology. Unknown. 



The differences between hofferi and anomalipes Ashmead are summarized by 

 Boucek (1964a : 258).
