1 -25 to 1 -55 times as long as the stigmal vein. Antennal scape reaching at least to 

 level of middle of the ocellus, sometimes to level of vertex, its length clearly greater 

 than the transverse diameter of an eye. Hind margin of basal tergite of gaster

1 Fore wing with basal cell closed below except at extreme base, its surface pilose except 

 for a band above the cubital vein ; lower surface of costal cell with two to three 

 complete rows of hairs ; speculum nearly closed below. Hind wing with costal 

 cell with some hairs ...... cecidomyiae (Ratzeburg) (p. 477) 



- Fore wing with basal cell closed below in at most its distal half, with at most its distal 

 third pilose and a line of hairs below the submarginal vein ; lower surface of costal 

 cell with one or two complete rows of hairs ; speculum partly open below. Hind

Type material. Pteromalus cecidomyiae Ratzeburg. Lectotype £ designated by 

 Boucek (19656 : 550) ; full details are given in his paper. Ratzeburg's cecidomyiae 

 was first recognized as belonging to Capellia by Boucek, who also placed Metopon 

 magnicornis Thomson and Pseudocatolaccus strandi Masi in synonymy with it. 



Metopon {Dirhicnus) magnicornis Thomson. Syntypes, 2 9, 1 <$. LECTOTYPE, 

 a female labelled " Die Bhn " (Dalecarlia, Boheman) and " magnicornis Ths. ". 

 The species was placed in synonymy with cecidomyiae (Ratzeburg) by Boucek 

 (19656 : 550). 



Pseudocatolaccus strandi Masi. Type $ (wrongly described as <$) in Zoological 

 Museum, Berlin, labelled " Norvegia. E. Tonsat 3JV.03. coll. Strand " (see 

 Boucek, 1961 : 82-83).

Biology. Reared in Poland from the resin galls of Cecidomyia (=Itonida) pini 

 (DeG.) on Pinus (see Boucek, 19656 : 550). Imagines mainly July-Sept, (single 

 records for April and June).
