Eupteromalus submarginatus (Thomson) 

 (Text-figs. 621, 632) 



Pteromalus submarginatus Thomson, 1878 : 156, $ [?nec <£]. 

 Eupteromalus submarginatus (Thomson) Kurdjumov, 1913 : 13. 

 Eupteromalus submarginatus (Thomson) ; Delucchi, 1958a : 56, $. 



Type material. Syntypes, 16 specimens. LECTOTYPE, the first specimen, a 

 female, labelled " Hbg " [Halsingborg], " submarginatus Ths " [in Thomson's 

 handwriting], " LECTOTYPE " on a red label, and " Eupteromalus submarginatus 

 Ths. V. Delucchi det.". Delucchi (1958a : 56) stated that the lectotype differed 

 only in small characters from apicalis [=hemipterus] and should be regarded as 

 identical with it. I have re-examined the lectotype and find it to be quite distinct 

 from hemipterus ; it differs especially in its much longer temples, and shorter 

 marginal vein. 



The female has a head of characteristic shape (Text-fig. 621), the scrobes being deeply exca- 

 vated and the temples very long ; malar space 0-42-0-46 the length of an eye. Antenna (Text- 

 fig. 632) with scape short, distinctly shorter than an eye, not or only just reaching the lower edge 

 of the median ocellus ; pedicellus in dorsal view barely twice as long as broad ; funicle proxim- 

 ally at least a little stouter than the pedicellus, thickening slightly distad ; first and second 

 segments of funicle sometimes quadrate, sometimes slightly transverse, the following segments 

 at least very slightly transverse. Pronotal collar weakly and irregularly margined, the carina 

 at most sharp over the middle third, or immarginate. Fore wing with marginal vein 1-55-1 -75 

 times as long as the stigmal vein ; postmarginal vein from very slightly, to quite distinctly, 

 shorter than the marginal. Gaster ovate, about as long as the thorax, 1-5-1-65 times as long 

 as broad. Length 1-7-2-3 mm. Head and thorax varying from bright green or blue-green 

 through dark green to bronze-green ; scape mainly or wholly testaceous, pedicellus and flagellum 

 brownish above, testaceous beneath ; legs, apart from coxae, testaceous. 



(J. Not definitely associated. One male in Thomson's syntypic series might 

 belong to the above female, but as I am not quite sure no redescription of the male is 

 being given here.
