Genus Hoplocrotaphus Telenga, 1950

Type species.

Hoplocrotaphus pospelovi Telenga, 1950.

Diagnosis.

Head (dorsal view) transverse, with rounded temples behind eye. Ocelli weakly enlarged, arranged in triangle with base larger than its sides. Eyes virtually glabrous. Occipital carina widely interrupted dorsally, in the middle and below (lateral view) complete, not fused with hypostomal carina, usually widely separated from hypostomal carinae and independently reached lower margin of head capsule (Figs 1C , 8B ). Clypeus moderately narrow and transverse; hypoclypeal cavity present, but narrow. Mandible rather narrow, usually evenly widened towards its base; its upper tooth longer than lower tooth. First flagellar segment of antenna as long as or weakly longer than second segment. Mesosoma short and high. Notauli mainly absent, finely developed on vertical anterior part. Mesoscutal pit always absent. Prescutellar depression (scutellar sulcus) with numerous carinae. Precoxal suture present, smooth, not reaching anterior and posterior margins of mesopleuron. Propodeum completely smooth. Propodeal spiracles relatively small. Hind femur thickened. Hind tibia weakly widened towards apex, shorter than hind tarsus. Pterostigma of fore wing subtriangular, usually rather wide and short. Marginal cell of fore wing strongly shortened, ending far from apex of wing; vein 1-R1 of fore wing thickened (especially in males), not reaching wing apex and shorter than pterostigma length. Vein SR1 of fore wing evenly curved or sometimes sinuate, in male thickened apically. Vein r of fore wing shorter than pterostigma and broad, in male usually thickened. Second submarginal cell of fore wing rather short. Vein m-cu of fore wing distinctly postfurcal, rarely interstitial. First subdiscal cell of fore wing open apically. First metasomal tergite short, widened towards apex, mainly smooth. Ovipositor more or less exerted.
