Z. KASZAB (loc. no. 508). – Holotype is deposited in the Hungarian Natural History Museum ( Department of Zoology ), Budapest , Hym. Typ. No. 10664. Holotype is in good condition: glued on a pointed card by its mesosternum and first sternites, right antenna damaged (flagellum with 19 flagellomeres), right fore and middle legs less visible owing to their mounting. Etymology. – The species name “danzas ” is a phantasy name. Description of the female holotype . – Body 3 mm long. Antenna somewhat longer than body and with 35 antennomeres. Flagellum thick albeit distally attenuating; first flagellomere a bit longer than second flagellomere and 2.9 times as long as broad apically; penultimate flagellomere 2.4 times as long as broad ( Fig. 12 ). – Head in dorsal view ( Fig. 13 ) transverse, 1.9 times as broad as long, eye just longer than temple, temple rounded. OOL twice as long as POL, ocelli middle sized. Eye in lateral view 1.7 times as high as wide, temple 1.3 times as wide as eye ( Fig. 14 ). Mandible 1.6 times as long as broad between teeth 1 and 3, upper tooth great, middle tooth wide basally, lower tooth relatively small ( Fig. 15 ). Head polished. Mesosoma in lateral view 1.2 times as long as high. Mesoscutum and scutellum evenly hairy; notaulix restricted to anterior declivous part of mesoscutum; hind fovea of mesoscutum long linear. Precoxal suture missing, mesopleuron polished. Propodeum densely rugulose. – Hind femur 3.1 times as long as broad distally ( Fig. 16 ). Hind tibia one-fifth length of hind tarsus. Second tarsomere of hind tarsus as long as fifth tarsomere ( Fig. 17 ). Fore wing just longer than body. Pterostigma ( Fig. 18 ) wide cuneiform, 5.7 times as long as wide and issuing r proximal from its middle, r shorter than width of pterostigma; 1–R1 0.6 times as long as length of pterostigma; 3– SR + SR1 approaching tip of wing; m–cu interstitial. First tergite ( Fig. 19 ) evenly broadening posteriorly, just broader behind than long, pair of spiracles at middle of tergite, pair of keels merging medially into rugo-rugulosity of tergite. Second and third tergites fused and equal in length, suture between tergites 2–3 almost indistinct and medially somewhat concave; combined length of tergites 2–3 just shorter than length of first tergite. Tergites beyond first one polished. Ovipositor sheath in lateral view as long as hind tarsomeres 1–3 combined. wing, 21 = head in dorsal view, 22 = antennomeres 2–4, 23 = mandible, 24 = first tergite Figs 12–24. 12–19. Dacnusa (Dacnusa) danzas sp. n. : antennomeres 2–4, 13 = head in dorsal view, 14 = head in lateral view, 15 = mandible, 16 = hind femur, 17 = hind tarsus, 18 = distal part of right fore wing, 19 = first tergite. – 20–24. Dacnusa (Dacnusa) astarte NIXON : 20 = distal part of right fore Scape and pedicel dark rusty with blackish pattern, flagellum black. Head and mesosoma black. First tergite brownish black, rest of tergites brownish yellow. Mandible, palpi, tegulae and legs light brownish yellow. Hind tibia apically and tarsus entirely blackish. Wings hyaline, pterostigma and veins light brown. The new species, Dacnusa danzas , runs to D. astarte NIXON , 1948 ( England , Russia : Far East) with the help of TOBIAS’ s key (1998: 324–325), the distinction of the two species is presented as follows: 1 (2) Pterostigma narrow cuneiform, 15–16 times as long as wide, 3SR + SR1 reaching tip of wing ( Fig. 20 ), m–cu antefurcal. Eye in dorsal view 1.4 times as long as temple ( Fig. 21 ). Antenna with 28 antennomeres; first flagellomere long and less thick, 1.4 times as long as second flagellomere ( Fig. 22 ). Upper and lower teeth of mandible less great ( Fig. 23 ). Mesoscutum anteriorly hairy, posteriorly along notaulix hairy. First tergite less evenly broadening ( Fig. 24 ). Metasoma blackish to black, hind tibia and tarsus yellow. f: 2.8–2.9 mm D. (D.) astarte NIXON 2 (1) Pterostigma wide cuneiform, 5.7 times as long as wide, 3SR + SR1 approaching tip of wing ( Fig. 18 ), m–cu interstitial. Eye in dorsal view just longer than temple ( Fig. 13 ). Antenna with 35 antennomeres; first flagellomere short and thick, a bit longer than second flagellomere ( Fig. 12 ). Upper and lower teeth of mandible great ( Fig. 15 ). Mesoscutum evenly hairy. First tergite evenly broadening ( Fig. 19 ). Tergites 4–8 and sternites brownish yellow, hind tibia apically and hind tarsus entirely blackish. f: 3 mm D. (D.) danzas sp. n.
