52 z. bouCek 



anteriorly broad, on inner side carinate, posteriorly with a subacute translucent lobe; below 

 lateral edge anteriorly extremely densely punctured and hairy, in depression also a streak of 

 dense puncturation but just above lateral edge punctures sparse and in upper part of depression 

 broad smooth area narrowing forwards. Hind femur, excluding teeth, i-8 times as long as 

 broad, moderately convex, densely and rather coarsely punctured, densely hairy, on disc with 

 dense subdecumbent hairs directed towards ventro-basal edge and with sparser semi-erect 

 hairs directed more ventrad; basal tooth broad (Text-fig. 47), followed by 10-13 smaller teeth. 

 Hind tibia apically produced into long spine. Apex of stigmal vein in fore wing rounded, much 

 shorter than the moderately long uncus. 



Gaster (Text-fig. 48) slightly longer than head plus thorax and 2-4-2-6 times as long as 

 broad, distinctly regularly swollen in middle of the part behind first tergite; dorsum in profile 

 showing moderate convexity of first tergite and of combined fourth and fifth tergites. First 

 tergite fully 1-2 times as long as broad, with deep and rather narrow median groove not quite 

 reaching basal fovea, otherwise regularly convex and very densely punctured, dull, pubescence 

 short and dense. Punctured part of third tergite dorsally half as long as fourth tergite which is 

 hardly one-fourth as long as the first; its sides diverging backward and in lateral view hardly 

 expanding ventrad, hind margin hardly produced medially. Fifth tergite fully 1-3 times as 

 broad as the first, combined with fourth medially hardly as long as first, dorsally broadly 

 grooved, hind margin wide-angularly emarginate. Ovipositor reaching hind half of first 

 tergite; sheaths slightly curved and broadened apically. 



<^. 9 mm. Colour as in ^ but gaster with arched band on first tergite, one narrow band on 

 broadest part and with small transverse spot on sixth tergite at apex. Flagellum plus pedicellus 

 fully i-2 times as long as breadth of head, slightly clavate. Gaster about 2-3 times as long as 

 broad, behind first tergite broadly fusiform, dorsally rather regularly, moderately coarsely 

 punctured and shortly pubescent, interspaces smooth, narrow. First tergite slightly transverse, 

 its sides slightly diverging, hind margin subemarginate ; basal fovea very short, not deep; 

 dorsum moderately convex, punctured. Second tergite exposed, strongly transverse, crowded 

 punctures medially in 4-5 cross-rows. Suture between the fourth and fifth tergites completely 

 obliterated; sixth tergite medially convex, without keel, apical margin slightly raised but 

 laterally without auricles. Epipygium very short, strongly transversely depressed behind 

 middle, without keels, apical part shiny though hairy and with extremely fine punctures, 

 apex rounded. Sternites narrow, flat, densely and relatively finely punctured; third trans- 

 verse, fourth slightly, fifth and sixth distinctly elongate ; last sternite slightly longer than broad, 

 medially shallowly depressed, apex rounded, in middle subtruncate.
