Euneura augarus Walker 

 (Text-fig. 685) 



Miscogaster Sopolis Walker, 18396 : 32, <$, syn. n. 



Euneura Augarus Walker, 1844a : 331, ?. 

 Hypsicamara Ratzeburgi Reinhard, 1859 : 195, $ $. 

 Euneura augurus [sic] Walker ; Delucchi, 19556 : 144, $. 



Although the name sopolis Walker has priority, I retain augarus as it is well known 

 and is the type-species of the genus. 



Type material. Miscogaster sopolis Walker. LECTOTYPE (probably holotype) 

 in Greville coll., labelled " Miscog. sopolis, Wk. n.sp. Fide Wk. Edinb." and 

 " Greville 1936-50. 289 ". 



Euneura augarus Walker. LECTOTYPE (possibly holotype) $, Type Hym. 

 5. 862, labelled " Type Gahan 1927 " and, in Walker's handwriting, " Euneura 

 Augarus ". 



Hypsicamara ratzeburgi Reinhard. Location of type material not known (possibly 

 Zoologisches Museum, Berlin). From the description this species would appear to 

 be the same as Euneura augarus. 



Britain, Norway (Alten), Germany, Central Europe. 



Biology. Reared in Germany from Cinaropsis (Cinara) pruinosa Htg. and 

 Cupressobium juniperinum Mordv. (Hem., Aphididae) the material determined by 

 Dr. Delucchi (Secretariat, etc., 1963 : 343, 370). Imagines July-Sept. 



Euneura laeviuscula sp. n. 



(Text-fig. 686) 



$. — Body blue-green or greenish blue, sometimes with some bronze reflections on dorsum of 

 thorax. Antennal scape usually testaceous, occasionally partly infuscate ; pedicellus brown, 

 flagellum fuscous. Coxae concolorous with thorax ; femora mainly fuscous, hind ones nearly 

 wholly black with a metallic tinge ; rest of legs testaceous, the mid and hind tibiae usually 

 slightly infuscate medially, occasionally mainly so. Wings subhyaline, venation brown. 

 Length 1-6-2-3 mm - 



Similar to augarus Walker (redescribed by Delucchi, 19556 : 144), but differs in the charac- 

 ters given in my key to species. Anterior margin of clypeus (Text-fig. 686) shallowly emarginate, 

 in most specimens of augarus deeply emarginate as in Text-fig. 685. Basal cell, not counting 

 the basal vein, bare or with at most 4 hairs, open below or closed only in its distal third, in 

 augarus entirely or mainly closed below. 



<J. — A specimen from Italy (Gran Paradiso, Tignet, 27. xi. 1958) probably belongs here, but 

 as it lacks the head I cannot describe it. 



Holotype $. Italy : Gran Paradiso, Valsavaranche, 17. vi. 1958 {A. Goidanich), 

 in Narodni Museum, Prague. 



Paratypes. Italy : Livionaz, 1 $, 30.x. 1958 {A. Goidanich) ; Firenze, Viala dei 

 colli, 1 $, 19. ix. 1957 {A. Goidanich), in Narodni Museum, Prague. Czechoslo- 

 vakia : Bohemia, Dolni Postevna, 1 $, 14-16. viii. 1959 {A. Hoffer), in Graham 

 collection. 



Biology. Unknown.
