Diagnosis.
Apex of ovipositor sheath with a distinct white or ivory band, 2-3 times as long as hind basitarsus; head flat in front of occipital carina, without any depression; antesternal carina narrow and hardly lamelliform (Fig. 508); temple nearly straight in dorsal view, directly narrowed behind eye (Fig. 513); vertex and frons rather shiny, at least with satin sheen and very finely and densely punctulate (Fig. 513); propleuron elongate, 0.9-1.1 times as long as distance between tegulae and anterior border of mesoscutum and resulting in a long neck (Fig. 507); mesoscutum with separate punctures; medio-posteriorly mesoscutum with distinct punctures between coriaceous sculpture in European specimens, but denser punctate (Fig. 509) or more or less rugulose in Asian specimens; hind basitarsus often with ivory band, but sometimes absent; mandible and ventral part of clypeus orange-brown. Males have third antennal segment 1.3-1.5 times as long as second segment and fourth antennal segment 2-3 times as long as third segment and 1.3 times as long as second and third segments combined (Fig. 520).
Distribution.
SE Europe, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey. New for the fauna of Turkey.
Biology.
Unknown. Collected in July-September.
Notes.
The holotype of Gasteruption libanense belongs not to Gasteruption schlettereri , because Gasteruption libanense has a more slender and longer propleuron (about as long as mesoscutum up to tegulum; rather stout and 0.9 times in Gasteruption schlettereri ), hind tibia dark brown ventrally (yellowish), lateral lobe of mesoscutum mainly coriaceous and laterally with rugulae (coarsely rugose) and middle lobe of mesoscutum with some punctures among rugulosity (coarsely rugose).
