Eupteromalus sp. indet. G 



England : Lincolnshire, Tetford Hill, i $, 27.vii.1951 (Graham). Not associated 

 with any $. 



Eupteromalus scaposus sp. n. 



(Text-fig. 637) 



$. Body green. Mandibles reddish with darker teeth. Antennal scape testaceous, fuscous 

 distally ; pedicellus and flagellum dull testaceous, infuscate dorsally. Coxae concolorous with 

 the thorax, except the inner aspect of the fore coxa, which is reddish ; remainder of legs bright 

 testaceous with the lest segment of all the tarsi brown. Tegulae and wing- venation testaceous ; 

 wings hyaline. Length 21 mm. 



Head in dorsal view about twice as broad as its maximum length ; temples about one quarter 

 the length of the eyes ; POL about 1 -25 OOL. In front view the head forms an almost regular 

 oval and is about 1-25 times as broad as high. Eyes separated by 1-35 times their length. 

 Genae very slightly buccate, slightly less than half the length of an eye. Mandibles moderate- 

 sized, the left one with 3, right with 4, teeth. Antennae (Text-fig. 637) inserted well above the 

 ventral edge of the eyes though somewhat nearer to the anterior margin of the clypeus than to 

 the median ocellus. Scape as long as an eye and reaching distinctly above the level of the 

 vertex ; combined length of pedicellus and flagellum equal to the breadth of the head ; pedi- 

 cellus about twice as long as broad, slightly longer than the anelli plus the first funicular seg- 

 ment ; flagellum distinctly clavate ; first funicular segment quadrate, slightly shorter and 

 narrower than the second, the second to fifth segments slightly longer than broad, sixth sub- 

 quadrate ; clava hardly more than twice as long as broad, about as long as two and a half of 

 the preceding funicular segments ; sensilla of funicle relatively sparse. 



Thorax elongate, about i-8 times as long as broad. Pronotal collar weakly and irregularly 

 margined in the middle only. Mesoscutum convex, fully twice as broad as long. Scutellum 

 slightly shorter than the mesoscutum. Propodeum sloping only slightly relative to the plane 

 of the mesoscutum and scutellum, medially only slightly shorter than the scutellum ; its median 

 area about as long as broad ; median carina subobsolete ; nucha occupying rather less than 

 half the length of the propodeum ; plicae sharp posteriorly, weak but just traceable anteriorly ; 

 callus sparsely haired. Fore wing rather narrow, reaching the tip of the gaster ; basal cell, 

 basal vein, and proximal part of the cubital vein bare, both the basal cell and the speculum 

 being open below ; marginal vein nearly twice as long as the stigmal vein ; postmarginal vein 

 nearly three quarters the length of the marginal. 



Gaster slightly longer than head plus thorax, 22 times as long as broad ; basal tergite occupy- 

 ing about one third of the total length ; apically the gaster is slightly acuminate, the last 

 tergite fully as long as its basal breadth ; tips of ovipositor sheaths just visible in dorsal view. 



o*. Differs from the female as follows : 



Antennae somewhat paler, more extensively testaceous. Length 15 mm. POL about 1-4 

 OOL. Eyes separated by 1-25 times their length. Antennal toruli about equidistant from the 

 anterior margin of the clypeus and the median ocellus ; combined length of pedicellus and 

 flagellum about 1-2 times the breadth of the head ; flagellum (Text-fig. 638) only slightly 

 clavate ; funicular segments 2-5 rather more elongate, about 1-4 times as long as broad, 6 very 

 slightly longer than broad ; clava 2-7-2-8 times as long as broad, nearly as long as the three 

 preceding funicular segments together. Mesoscutum only about 1-75 times as broad as long. 

 Fore wing about 2-75 times as long as broad, narrower than in the female ; basal vein with a 

 few hairs ; marginal vein 2-4 times as long as the stigmal vein. Gaster oval, distinctly shorter 

 than, but as broad as, the thorax ; basal tergite occupying about half the total length ; gaster 

 slightly convex both dorsally and ventrally, without a ventral plica.
