Diagnosis.
The largest (
5-6 mm
) of all
Scorpioteleia
species
assigned to the
compressa
species group. It differs from
S. compressa
and
S. cebes
by the combination of the following characters: i) antennae of female shorter and thicker with preapical flagellomere at most twice as long as wide; ii) pubescence of antennae even, dense and very short; iii) radial cell wider; iv) petiole swollen in the middle and rugose; v) gaster stout and with pubescent ventral surface except distal part; vi) macrotergite at base with distinct medial furrow and large lateral depressions.

Variability.
No apparent variation was ascertained in the material examined.
Bionomics.
Hosts unknown; flight period from July to September.
Distribution.
This species was previously known only from its
type
locality in
Croatia
(KIEF- FER 1910). It is a new species for
Slovakia
,
Hungary
and
Albania
.
Remark.
The species identity is based on the reexamination of the male
type
specimen preserved at HNMH. The female specimen mentioned by KIEFFER (1910) is lost.
