Pauesia longicauda Chiriac, 1993

M a t e r i a l. 1 ♀, Kyiv Region, Boyarka [50°18’56.55'' N, 30°17’27.19'' E], 8.06.197 2, reared from Cinara pinea (Mordvilko) 12.06.197 2 (Ichanskaya) ( ZIN) .

С o m m e n t. There is lack of data about this species. The only information on P. longicauda is in the article of I. Chiriac (1993).

С o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s. In the shape of ovipositor sheath and number of antennal segments P. longicauda is very similar to Japanese species P. akamatsucola Takada, 1968 , from which it differs by the propodeum with lateral longitudinal carinae, and temples (dorsally) slightly longer than 0.5 of eye length ( Chiriac, 1993). Among species of Ukrainian fauna P. longicauda is similar to P. laricis (Haliday) differing by: 1) mesoscutum that vertically arises above pronotum; 2) petiole 4 times as long as wide at spiracles level; 3) longer and thinnner ovipositor sheath.

H o s t s. Cinara pinea .

H a b i t a t s. Coniferous and deciduous forests.

D i s t r i b u t i o n. Ukraine (Kyiv Region, first record). Moldova ( Chiriac, 1993).
