PTEROMALIDAE OF N.W. EUROPE 475 



This genus was not correctly recognized until 1958, when Delucchi redescribed it. 

 Boucek (196 1 : 73-74) added further notes on the genus and also objectively 

 defined the type-species, which is the only one so far known. 



Eurydinota leptomera Forster 



Eurydinota leptomera Forster, 1878 : 42-43, $. 



Eurydinota leptomera Forster ; Delucchi, 1958a : 59, fig. 1, $. 



Eurydinota leptomera Forster ; Boucek, 1961 : 73-74, $. 



Type material. Lectotype $ in Zoologisches Museum, Berlin (designated by 

 Boucek, 1961 : 74) ; it is mounted on a micro-pin attached to a block of pith and 

 is labelled " 17/185 Aachen Frst. " and (in Forster's handwriting) " Eurydinota m. 

 leptomeras m. $. Aachen " [the letter " s " at the end of leptomeras crossed out]. 

 One antenna, the left fore wing, and the left hind leg, have been slide-mounted by 

 Novitzky. 



Germany, Austria. 



Biology. Unknown. Boucek (1961 : 74) recorded a female captured near 

 Vienna in September. 



Note. The North American species placed in Eurydinota by Peck (in Muesebeck 

 et al., 1 95 1 : 543) belong to other genera ; lividicorpus Girault belongs to 

 Sceptrothelys, rufiventris Girault to Capellia (q.v.). 



CAPELLIA Delucchi 



Capellia Delucchi, 1958a : 59. Type-species : Eurydinota rufiventris Girault, 1920a, by original 



designation. 

 Hylocomus Graham, 1959 : 107. Type-species : Metopon (Dirhicnus) magnicornis Thomson, 



1878, by original designation. 

 Capellia Delucchi ; Boucek, 19656 : 550-551. 



Hylocomus Graham was placed in synonymy with Capellia by Boucek (19656 : 

 550), after examining the respective type-species. 



Key to European Species 



(Females) 



1 Fore wing (Text-fig. 351) with basal cell closed below throughout or except just at base, 

 pilose all over except just above the cubital vein ; lower surface of costal cell with 

 a broad band of hairs, composed of two to four rows ; marginal vein 1 -i to 1-3 times 

 as long as the stigmal vein. Antennal scape reaching only about level with lower 

 edge of median ocellus, its length hardly greater than the transverse diameter of an 

 eye. Hind margin of basal tergite of gaster from very weakly, to quite distinctly 

 emarginate in the middle. Legs on the average darker ; femora nearly always 

 mainly fuscous, tibiae sometimes more or less so.

Fore wing (Text-fig. 353) with basal cell open below except distally, with at most its 

 distal third pilose, and a row of hairs below the submarginal vein ; lower surface of 

 costal cell usually with only one complete row of hairs, rarely two ; marginal vein
