Key to Most European Species 

 (Females) 



Marginal vein of fore wing only i-i to 1-2 times as long as the stigmal vein. 

 Clypeus (Text-figs. 523, 524) mainly to entirely strigose ; the lower part 

 of the face and the genae also with some striae, or strigose-reticulate. Head 

 and thorax deep blue or greenish blue to violet-black ; femora mainly 

 black, tibiae more or less infuscate. Median area of propodeum uniformly 

 reticulate ; plicae sharp in at most the hinder half of the propodeum. 



Antennae with flagellum slender, proximally not or hardly stouter than 

 the pedicellus in profile ; funicular segments quadrate or slightly longer 

 than broad. Gaster with tip of hypopygium situated slightly to quite 

 distinctly beyond the middle (Sturovia Boucek) ..... 2 



Marginal vein rarely so short relative to the stigmal vein, if so then the clypeus 

 is mainly reticulate, the face and genae have no trace of strigose sculpture, 

 the head and thorax are green, bright blue, or bronze, and the legs are more 

 extensively yellowish. Median area of propodeum often irregularly or 

 weakly sculptured ; plicae most often complete. (Mesopolobus Westwood) 3 



(1) Head in frontal view (Text-fig. 523) almost circular, with genae buccate ; in 

 dorsal view approximately twice as broad as long. Breadth of oral fossa 

 only 1-3 to 1-5 times the malar space. Gaster only slightly longer than 

 thorax, 1 -35 to 1 -6 times as long as broad. Antennae with scape not reach- 

 ing the median ocellus ; first funicular segment hardly as stout as the 

 pedicellus, even when the latter is seen in profile. Scutellum very slightly 

 broader than long . . . Sturovia squamifera (Thomson) (p. 637) 



Head in frontal view (Text-fig. 524) trapeziform with the oral edge sub- 

 truncate and the genae only slightly curved ; in dorsal view 2-1 to 2-15 times
