Bohart—Key to Spintharina 
97 
weak median longitudinal carina; T-III convex basolaterally, pit 
row distinctly impressed, pits somewhat elongate (fig. 10), apical 
rim convex; S-II spots round, broadly separated. 
Female. As in male but F-I 1.6X as long as broad, 1.2X as long 
as II or III. 
Male holotype and 9 male, 5 female paratypes, Dubai, United 
Arab Emirates, IV-18-84 (some paratypes are months I, II, V, and 
VII), E. A. Sugden (U. C. Davis). 
Discussion. The continuous whitish distal margin of T-III and 
the short male F-I-II place dubai in the vagans group. 
Spintharina senegaiae Bohart, new species 
Holotype female, Length 5,5 mm. Bright green, terga extensively 
coppery to red, apical rim of T-III whitish translucent, tarsi light 
brown, legs otherwise green, wings nearly clear; scapal basin silvery 
pubescent in lateral third, medially punctate and crossridged (fig. 9); 
punctation otherwise moderate and close but weak on clypeus and 
absent on T-III postpit; F-l 1.5X as long as broad, slightly longer 
than pedicel, F-II or F-III; malar space 1.7 MOD, subantennal 
space 1.3 MOD; TFC sharp; weakly parenthesis-like; midocellar 
area slightly depressed; mesopleuron with 3 angles or teeth below 
polished scrobal sulcus; propodeal projection truncate and apex a 
little emarginate; T-III convex basolaterally, pit row distinctly 
impressed, pits slightly elongate, apical rim convex; S-II spots 
rounded, separated by nearly 2 MOD. 
Female holotype. Savoigne, Senegal, III-9-76, G. Couturier (U. 
C. Davis). 
Discussion. The continuous whitish translucent margin of T-III 
places senegalae in the vagans group. The green and coppery-red 
terga separate it from dubai. 
Spintharina stigdeni Bohart, new species 
Holotype male. Length 6 mm. Stout; head, thorax and sterna 
bright green, terga coppery with a greenish tint, tarsi pale brownish, 
legs otherwise green, wings nearly clear; scapal basin all silver pilose 
except a narrow median line of punctation and crossridging; punc- 
tation moderate and rather close but small on clypeus and absent on 
T-III postpit, forefemur well punctate above a ventral ridge; F-I
