V. 1999 (M.­D. Mitroiu). Deposited in "Grigore Antipa" Natural History Museum, Bucharest, registration number 183017 (specimen glued on card with one side appendages mounted on two microscope slides).</p> <p>Paratypes. Same locality and date as holotype: 1♀, head missing (L. Fusu) and 1♂ (M.­D. Mitroiu), in authors collection; 1♀ (I. Popescu), in British Museum (Natural History), London, registration number BMNH (E) 2005 145.</p> <p>Etymology: This species is named for Dr. R. R. Askew, who has contributed substantially to our knowledge of European Pteromalidae.</p> <p>Biology: Unknown; like other species from this genus, H. askewi sp. n. is probably a parasitoid of a certain species of Diptera (in this case probably a species of moderate size). All the individuals were swept on steppe vegetation at Valea lui David Natural Reserve. More than 500 species of angiosperms were identified here, the Poaceae being the dominant species (Mititelu &amp; al. 1969).</p> <p>Remarks: Halticoptera askewi sp. n. belongs to the group of species with the median area of propodeum distinctly reticulated, together with H. smaragdina (Curtis), H. patellana (Dalman), H. collaris (Walker) and H. elongatula Graham. The female and male of H. askewi sp. n. would run in Graham’s key (1969) as far as couplet 3 and H. patellana (Dalman), on account of its distinctly reticulated propodeum and, in the case of the male, also on account of its small maxillary stipites. From both sexes of patellana this new species differs mainly in having a very transverse petiole, a larger body size and some other characteristic features, which are mentioned below. Some of the characters of askewi sp. n. are rather uncommon for most of the species in the genus: an almost sessile gaster, OOL much longer than POL, a very distinct frenal groove, and the bottom edge of the toruli slightly above lower edge of eyes. The presence of these characters could question the generic placement of this species. However, other characters i.e. the rounded collar of the pronotum, the slightly asymmetric bidentate margin of the clypeus, the antennal formula, the postmarginal vein which is shorter than the marginal vein and the enlarged male maxillary palpi, do indicate that askewi sp. n. belongs to genus Halticoptera. I do not think it is appropriate to create a new subgenus for askewi before examining more material, especially from the Central and East Palearctic.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/803287A9FFC7FFE3BF252BA543C609BF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Gaster ovate, globose, about as wide as thorax, length about 1.4X width, slightly shorter than thorax; basal tergite occupying hardly half of the whole gaster, its hind margin slightly incised medially; tip of hypopygium situated about half way from the tip of gaster.</p> <p>Male. Unknown.</p> <p>Material examined: Holotype ♀, Romania, Neamţ county, Potoci, 26. VI. 1999, meadow (M.­D. Mitroiu). Deposited in "Grigore Antipa" Natural History Museum, Bucharest, registration number 183020 (specimen glued on card with one side appendages mounted on two microscope slides).</p> <p>Etymology: The name semireticulata refers to the characteristic sculpture of the propodeum.</p> <p>Biology: Unknown.</p> <p>Remarks: The female of H. semireticulata sp. n. would run in Grahams key (1969) as far as last couplet. Thus it can be placed in the group of species allied to H. circulus (Waker) (see above). From all these species it differs mainly in its much bigger size and characteristic propodeum.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/803287A9FFCEFFE0BF252DF7425C0D2F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
