Notee on Cleonymidae (Hym. Chalcidoidea). I

By KARL-JoHAN HEqYrsr

In the year 1958 BouCek putrlished an excellent paper on Cleongmidae with a key to the genera (only for Cleongminael. He had unfortunately not seen the types of some of the genera and for that reason he could not place some of the genera salisfactorily. He also discussed lhe status of the family CleongmiPteromalidae. Last year I had the opportunity to stud-)-- lhe types of some species in British Museum (Nat. Hist.), London, and Hope Department of Entomology, Oxford, and can now give some new synonyms and combinations. For the permission to study the types I am much grateful to Mr. J. F. Perkins of the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) and Mr. G. J. Kerrich of the Commonwealth Institute. I am also much indebted to Dr. M. \Y. R. de V. Graham lbr giving me opportunity to study lYestwood's types and for some valuable discussions. The family Cleongmidae consists of two subfamilies: Cleongminae and Chalcetlectinae. They are not very near related. In the following I am con- fining nryself lo CleonUminee and shall postpone Cholcedectinae lo a forthcoming paper. Cleongminae comprises partly heterogenous 61enera, some of which belong to different families (see page 109). llouiek (1958) has in his "Cleonyminen-Studie" pointed out that many of the genera in Europe formally placed in Cleongmidoe must be transferred to other groups and subfamilies in the famity Pteromr idae (that is the case with the tropical genera too). In my opinion even lhe T gonoderus-group (see Boutek 1958) should not be placed in the subfamily Cleongminae. Boutek (1958) has characterized Cleongminae as follo*'s: 'Fiihler mit nur einem Rin8glied (oder ausscheinend keinem, rvenn dieses fadengliedrigartig, gross ist) und sieben oder mehr Fadengliedern: Augenrinder (von vorn gesehen) auch unten sttrk divergierend; Pronotum grossi Hintertibien mit zwei Sporen, Schenkel, besonders die vorderen und die hitrteren mehr $'eniger verdicktl Iitirper oft gross". This is an exellent characterization. To the above can be added that CIeo- nUminae has notaulices complete lin some case not well defined) and prepectus large. Mandibles (left and right) with 3 teeth. In some genera free labrunr occurs: Parahegdenia Cam., Solenuro Westw. Tftaumasurd \Yestw., Cleongmus Lalr., Ctrllocleonymus Masi and Glgphotome C,arn. Cleongminoe seems lo be an old group (at least partly), especially the lribe Hegdenini with one geuvs Heydeniopsis gen. n. from Oligocene (Baltic Enlomol- T8- ,1ro.82.

Anber). I think *-e musl search for lhe ancestors of many groups of Cft.rlci- doidea particulnrly in this group (He)'denini). In a forthcoming paper I hope to give valid reasons lor this hypothesis.

O8loblin L. ogloblina sp.n. is similar to L. decora Strand but differs in the colour aDd is not s\\'ollen behind e.,-es. The length of the gaster segments is also different. Because the segurents of gaster are so sclerotized in l-ycisc( the yariation secms to be verr small in the length of segments. For that reason I have modified my ke)' (see Heqvist 1958) and used this character iu the following ke1'.
