PTEROMALIDAE OF N.W. EUROPE 561 



Habrocytus baton (Walker) comb. n. 



Pteromalus Baton Walker, 1839a : 32, <J. 



Type localities. Tasmania, " Hobart Town, Van Diemen's Land" ; Australia, 

 Sydney, New South Wales. A male and a female stand under this name but no 

 female was described. LECTOTYPE, the male specimen, Type Hym. 5. 742b. 

 The female may well be conspecific with the lectotype. 



Habrocytus epicles (Walker) comb. n. 



Pteromalus Epicles Walker, 1847a : 394-395, ?. 



Type locality. North America. One female, Type Hym. 5. 758. 

 The following species may belong to the species group of albipennis (Walker), 

 s. lat.: 



Habrocytus damo (Walker) comb. n. 



Pteromalus Damo Walker, 1847a : 395. 



Type locality : North America. Type Hym. 5. 759, a female lacking the head. 

 Species wrongly placed in Habrocytus : 



Habrocytus morio Masi 



Habrocytus morio Masi, 1917 : 174-175, <$ $ (Seychelles). 



Syntypes in BM(NH), 2 $ (Types Hym. 5. 787a, b). The species is not a true 

 Habrocytus, but should probably form a new genus near Psilocera Walker. 



PHAENOCYTUS gen. n. 



(Text-fig. 315) 



(Derivation : Greek cpouvo, to appear -f- part of the generic name Habrocytus. 

 Gender : masculine.) 



Type-species : Pteromalus glechomae Forster, 1841 : 21 [sensu Giraud]. 



Head notably wide, 1-3 to 1-4 times as wide as the mesoscutum ; occiput not margined ; 

 genae without a hollow ; clypeus strigose, its anterior margin shallowly emarginate. Left 

 mandible with three teeth, right mandible with four. Antennae inserted distinctly above the 

 level of the ventral edge of the eyes, 11 263 ; sutures of clava not oblique, but the micropilosity 

 of the clava present on the third and part of the second segment. 



Pronotal collar not margined, not abrupt in front but somewhat rounded off into the neck. 

 Notauli incomplete. Propodeum reticulate ; plicae represented only by foveae at the base of 

 the propodeum and a short carina on each side of the nucha ; spiracular sulci very shallow, 

 subobsolete ; spiracles small, about 1 -5 times as long as broad, separated by slightly less than 

 their length from the metanotum ; nucha moderate-sized, lightly reticulate, not very sharply 

 defined in front ; callus sparsely pilose. Postspiracular sclerite as in Habrocytus. Mesepister- 

 num with a mainly smooth area below the base of the hind wing. Hind coxae bare dorsally ; 

 hind tibiae with one spur. Fore wing with basal vein bare ; speculum moderate-sized ; mar- 

 ginal vein (Text-fig. 315) longer than the stigmal vein ; postmarginal vein about as long as the
