Ryang, Paekdu-san-milyong, 1500 m , 27 June 1988 , leg. O. MERKL et GY . SZÉL (loc. no. 1353). – Holotype is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Department ofZoology), Budapest , Hym. Typ. No. 10535. The holotype is in good condition. – Taxonomic remark: The specimen was named by T . Munk (in 2000) as “close to caudata (Thoms.)” . Etymology – The specific epithet “gradatim ” refers to the specific differences being only gradual. Description ofthe female holotype . – Body 2 mm long. Antenna as long as body, with 22 (right antenna) and with 21 antennomeres (left antenna). First flagellomere 1.8 times (in lateral view), middle flagellomeres 1.5 times and penultimate flagellomere (left antenna) 1.7 times as long as broad. – Head in dorsal view ( Fig. 37 ) transverse, 1.8 times as broad as long, eye 1.5 times as long as temple, temple rounded. OOL three times as long as POL. Tentorial pit short, not reaching compound eye. Mandible stout, 1.3 times as long medially as broad between teeth 1 and 3, less broadening distally, tooth 1 subpointed ( Fig. 38 ). Eye in lateral view 1.5 times as long as wide, beyond eye temple slightly less wide than eye. Head polished. Mesosoma in lateral view about as long as high. Mesoscutal dimple short linear. Precoxal suture short, subcrenulate. Propodeum polished, its medio-longitudinal strip anteriorly rugulose-uneven, posteriorly just uneven ( Fig. 39 ). Mesosoma polished. – Hind femur four times as long as broad somewhat distally ( Fig. 40 ). Hind basitarsus as long as tarsomeres 2–3 combined. Fore wing about one-third longer than body. Second submarginal cell long, 3–SR 2.5 times as long as 2–SR , 4–SR faintly curved and 2.4 times as long as 3–SR . Vein 1–2CU1 twice as long as m–cu ( Fig. 41 , see arrows). First tergite ( Fig. 42 ) 1.3 times as long as broad, evenly broadening posteriorly, pair ofspiracles beyond middle oftergite, pair ofweak keels reaching hind halfoftergite, hind halfoftergite tergite. – 43–44 = D. incarnatum ( FISCHER ): 43 = mandible, 44 = propodeum rather longitudinally subrugulose as in Fig. 42 . Further tergites polished. Ovipositor sheath as long as hind tarsomeres 1–4 and halfof5th tarsomere combined and somewhat shorter than twice length of first tergite. Figs 37–44. 37–42 = Dinotrema gradatim sp. n. : 37 = head in dorsal view, 38 = mandible, 39 = propodeum, 40 = hind femur, 41 = discal ( 1–2CU1 ) and recurrent vein ( m–cu ) of fore wing, 42 = first Ground colour ofbody blackish brown to dark brown. Antenna brown. Mandible and palpi light brown. Tegula brown, parategula yellowish. Legs brownish yellow. Propodeum and first tergite brown. Wings hyaline, pterostigma and veins brownish to light brownish. Male and host unknown. Distribution: Korea . The new species, Dinotrema gradatim , is nearest to D. caudatum ( THOMSON , 1895) and D. incarinatum ( FISCHER , 1973) considering their rugulose-uneven medio-longitudinal strip ofpropodeum (i.e. propodeum not carinated, Figs 39 and 44 ); the three species are distinct by the following features: 1 (2) First tergite 1.6 times as long as broad behind, posteriorly moderately broadening. Eye in dorsal view just longer than temple ( Fig. 2 in STELFOX & GRAHAM 1951:5). Vein 1–2CU1 three times as long as m–cu . Medio-longitudinal strip ofpropodeum evenly rugulose ( Fig. 10 in l.c.). Fore wing: 3–SR twice as long as 2–SR . Female and male: 1.8 mm . – Europe D. caudatum ( THOMSON , 1895) 2 (1) First tergite 1.3 times as long as broad behind, posteriorly strongly broadening ( Fig. 42 ). Eye in dorsal view 1.5 times as long as temple ( Fig. 37 ). Vein 1–2CU1 twice as long as m–cu ( Fig. 41 , see arrows). Medio-logitudinal strip ofpropodeum anteriorly rugulose-uneven, posteriorly just uneven ( Fig. 39 ). Fore wing: 3–SR 2.5 times as long as 2–SR . Female: 2 mm . – Korea D. gradatim sp. n. * 1 (2) First tergite 1.75 times as long as broad behind. Mandible 1.75 times as long medially as broad between teeth 1 and 3, tooth 1 widely rounded ( Fig. 43 ). Hind femur five times as long as broad. Middle flagellomeres 2.5 times as long as broad. Propodeum as in Fig. 44 . Legs yellow. Female: 1.8–2 mm . – Austria , Hungary D. incarinatum ( FISCHER , 1973) 2 (1) First tergite 1.3 times as long as broad ( Fig. 42 ). Mandible 1.3 times as long medially as broad between teeth 1 and 3, tooth 1 subpointed ( Fig. 38 ). Hind femur four times as long as broad ( Fig. 40 ). Middle flagellomeres 1.5 times as long as broad. Propodeum as in Fig. 39 . Legs brownish yellow. Female: 2 mm . – Korea D. gradatim sp. n.
