            <p>Distribution. China (Provinces: Jilin, Liaoning).</p>
            <p> Etymology. The specific name “  basicavus ” derives from the Latin adjective “basis” and “cavus”, referring to T1 concave basally. </p>
            <p> Remarks. This species is very similar to  A. frustratus Papp within the  lacteus -group (Nixon, 1965), but differs from the latter by the clypeo-facial suture nearly lying on the line joining the eyes below (in the latter species distinctly below); the ovipositor sheath 1.5× the length of hind tibia (in the latter species as long as hind tibia); and T3 1.6× as long as T2 (in the latter species only somewhat longer than T2). </p>

            <p>Distribution. China (Provinces: Xinjiang, Liaoning, Jilin, Neimenggu, Shandong).</p>
            <p> Etymology. The specific name “  brevivena ” derives from the Latin prefix “brevi-” and the noun “vena”, referring to the distinctly short metacarp. </p>
            <p> Remarks. This species is similar to  A. nagyi Papp , but can be separated by the following: ovipositor sheath as long as hind tibia (in the latter species 1/4 times shorter than hind tibia); vein r shorter than vein 2-SR (in the latter species equal with vein 2-SR); and T1 constricted gradually towards apex (in the latter species parallel sides on its fore half). </p>

            <p>Material examined. 1♀, Hongxialinchang, Jingyuan, Ningxia, 2008. VII.1–7, Yao Jiemin, No. 200808751; 1♀, Qiuqianjia, Mt. Liupan, Jingyuan, Ningxia, 2008. VII.8, Yao Jiemin, No. 200808539.</p>
            <p>Distribution. China (Province: Ningxia) new record; Austria, Bulgaria, Hungary, Turkey.</p>
            <p>Note. Papp (1975) constructed a key to the mycetophilus -group for four European species including this species, but Nixon (1976) placed it in the merula -group which we do not agree because of the absence of a median keel on the propodeum. Papp (1983) transferred it to laspeyresiella- group, which we agree. Features of the examined specimens mostly agree with the description in Papp (1972, 1982) and Nixon (1972) except that the pterostigma is not pellucid pale yellow but slightly pale brown and the hind leg is mostly dark except for basal tibia which is yellow.</p>

Antenna almost as long as body length, penultimate antennomere 1.5× longer than wide.</p>
            <p>Mesosoma. Length to breadth and height 35.0:20.5:23.0. Disc of mesonotum with somewhat satin-like sheen, shallowly punctate, with dense pubescence. Scutellar sulcus slightly curved, narrow without carinae in between. Surface of scutellum as disc of mesonotum. Propodeum highly shiny, almost polished through. without punctation anteriorly. Mesopleuron highly polished, its anterior half with indistinct sparse punctation of even size.</p>

            <p>Wings. Pterostigma relatively narrow, 3.4× as long as its widest part. Vein 1-R1 (metacarp) 1.2× longer than pterostigma, it is 2.9× as long as its distance from the apex of the marginal cell. Vein r slightly shorter than width of pterostigma, vein r somewhat shorter than vein 2-SR, both veins indistinctly angled at their meeting, vein 2-M 2/5 length of vein 2-SR. 1st discal cell 1/4 wider than high. Vein cu-a more or less straight, weakly oblique inwards. Vannal lobe beyond its widest part straight, without projecting setae.</p>
            <p>Metasoma. Indistinctly longer than thorax (37.0:35.0). T1 strongly narrowed to apex, basal width 2× hind width, and short, at most 1.4× longer than basal width. Strongly concave at basal 2/5, relatively shiny, scattered shallow punctures on apical, turned-over part. T2 subtriangular, 2× wider than long in the middle, smooth and shiny. T3 1.2× as long as T2 (6.0:5.0). Tergites after T2 relatively shiny, smooth. Hypopygium distinctly shorter than apex of abdomen. Ovipositor sheath relatively short, 0.6× length of hind tibia (17.0:27.0), relatively thin.</p>

            <p>Material examined. Holotype: ♀, Dongling, Shenyang, Liaoning, 1994. VII.10, Lou Juxian, No. 947204. Paratype: 1♀, Dongling, Shenyang, Liaoning, 1994. VII.10, Lou Juxian, No. 9471890.</p>
            <p>Distribution. China (Province: Liaoning).</p>
            <p> Etymology. The specific name “  parapholetesor ”, referring to the resemblance of this species with the genus  Pholetesor Mason.</p>
            <p> Remarks. This may be a transition species to the genus  Pholetesor Mason which is defined by a short ovipositor sheath, satin-like sheen, and reduced scutellar sulcus. However, we prefer to place it in the laspeyresiella- group because of the following decisive features: wedge-shaped T1, straight and setae-absent part of hind wing beyond widest of vannal lobe, light colour of pterostigma, and relatively short metacarp and ovipositor sheath. </p>

            <p> Etymology. The specific name “  thoracartus ” derives from the Latin “thorac-” and “artus”, referring to the distinctly narrow mesosoma. </p>
            <p> Remarks. This species is similar to  A. odites Nixon , but can be separated by the following: mesoscutum without satin-like sheen (in the latter species satin-like); ovipositor not falcate towards apex (in the latter species markedly falcate); and metacarp shorter (in the latter species extremely long, almost closing the marginal cell). </p>
