Gyorfi (1941 : 88) recorded this species from Finland as a parasite of Phthoro- 

 phloeus spinulosus Rey on spruce. Nuorteva (1957 : 69) suggested that the parasite 

 had been wrongly identified, and this seems very probable.

 Pteromalus lapsanae Giraud MS. 



9. Head bronze ; thorax dorsally greenish, in some specimens varied with bronze or 

 coppery bronze, more especially on the scutellum and axillae ; sides of thorax, especially the 

 meso- and metapleuron, coppery to purplish coppery ; gaster tinged with bronze and purplish, 

 its basal tergite more or less green ; ventrally the gaster is reddish at the base, sometimes the 

 basal tergite is also slightly reddish basally. Antennal scape testaceous, more or less infuscate 

 dorsally ; pedicellus, except sometimes beneath, and the flagellum, fuscous. Coxae fuscous, 

 the fore coxae sometimes testaceous distally, with a purplish tinge especially on the hind coxae ; 

 hind femora mainly fuscous, the fore and mid femora often more or less so proximally ; legs 

 otherwise yellowish testaceous with the tips of the tarsi brown. Tegulae partly testaceous. 

 Wings slightly yellowish-tinged ; veins bright testaceous. Length 2-3 to 2-5 mm. 



Malar space about two fifths the length of an eye. Antennal scape reaching about level 

 with the middle of the median ocellus, its length about equal to the transverse diameter of an 

 eye ; pedicellus slightly longer than the first funicular segment ; funicle nearly filiform, thick- 

 ening only very slightly distad, proximally a little stouter than the pedicellus ; funicular seg- 

 ments one to five usually slightly longer than broad, sometimes the fifth quadrate, six quadrate ; 

 clava slightly broader than the funicle, about twice as long as broad, about as long as two and 

 a half of the preceding funicular segments together ; sensilla of flagellum rather numerous ; 

 some of the hairs of the flagellum standing out at an angle of about 45 . 



Thorax barely 1-5 times as long as broad. Mesoscutum about i-6 times as broad as long. 

 Dorsellum convex, shiny, smooth or virtually so. Propodeum (Text-fig. 562) strongly trans- 

 verse, short, medial length one fifth to barely one quarter that of the scutellum, and only about 

 1 -5 times that of the dorsellum, its median carina usually indicated. Fore wing with marginal 

 vein slightly thickened, 9 to 12 times as long as its breadth in the middle, 1-85 to 1-95 times as 

 long as the stigmal vein ; postmarginal vein distinctly shorter than the marginal vein ; stigmal 

 vein nearly straight with a small, suboval stigma. 



Gaster (Text-fig. 561) lanceolate, 1-35 to i-6 times as long as head plus thorax, 3-1 to 4 times 

 as long as broad ; hind margin of basal tergite weakly excised medially ; last tergite somewhat
