Pseudoprosapha Peris-Felipo , subgen. nov.

Type species.

Eudinostigma stenosoma van Achterberg, 1988 (Figs 18 , 19 ).

Material examined.

Holotype ( Eudinostigma stenosoma ) Hungary: • ♂, Budapest, Biró , 21. ix. 1927, “ 226 ” ( RMNH).

Diagnosis.

Mandible small, simple, tridentate, with upper (first) tooth diminished with respect to lower (third) tooth. Paraclypeal fovea short, length not more than half distance between clypeus and inner margin of eyes. Mesoscutum without medio-posterior pit; notauli present only in anterior part of mesoscutum; precoxal sulcus present; propodeum completely smooth. Marginal cell of fore wing never shortened; vein r originating from basal quarter of wide pterostigma; vein 2 - SR absent; vein cu-a postfurcal; first subdiscal cell always closed postero-apically by vein CU 1 a. Hind wing with all cells closed. Metasoma of ♀ more or less distinctly compressed posteriorly. Ovipositor sheath not longer than metasoma.

Remarks.

This new subgenus includes only a single species, Dinotrema (Pseudoprosapha) stenosoma ( van Achterberg, 1988) , comb. nov.. This subgenus shares with Prosapha the comparatively broad pterostigma (viz., wider than the length of vein r) and in female vein r + 3 - SR forming a (nearly) straight line but differs by the loss of vein 2 - SR (present in Prosapha ), the depressed head (antennal sockets situated near the upper level of the eyes), the strongly compressed mesosoma and the very narrow clypeus. These differences make it worth to name a different subgenus for it.
