DIAGNOSIS. FEMALE (specimens from the European part of Russia, Belgium, France and Hungary). Body length (slide-mounted specimens) 0.8–0.9 mm. Antenna ( Fig. 9 View Figs 9–12 ) with scape (excluding radicle) 3.5–3.7× as long as wide, without distinct cross-ridges; F2–F6

longer than pedicel, F2 4.2–5.0× as long as wide, F3 the longest funicular, F2 usually without

mps but in one specimen with 1 mps, F3–F6 each with 2 mps; clava with 6 mps, 3.8–4.1× as long as wide, 1.1–1.2× as long as combined length of F5 and F6. Fore wing ( Fig. 10 View Figs 9–12 ) 4.9–

5.3× as long as wide; longest marginal seta 0.8–0.9× maximum wing width; marginal space separated from medial space by 1–2 lines of setae. Hind wing ( Fig. 10 View Figs 9–12 ) 18–20× as long as wide; longest marginal seta 2.9–3.3× maximum wing width, disc with 1–2 irregular rows of setae apically. Metatarsomere 1 distinctly longer than metatarsomere 2 ( Fig. 12 View Figs 9–12 ). Ovipositor

( Fig. 11 View Figs 9–12 ) occupying usually about 0.9× length of gaster but occasionally its entire length (and thus not extending forward under mesosoma), not exserted beyond apex of gaster posteriorly,

and about 1.0× length of metatibia.

MALE. Known (Huber & Thuróczy, 2018).

DISTRIBUTION. Russia *; Austria, Belgium, Finland, France *, Germany, Hungary *,

Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Sweden, United Kingdom. Some of these records (Noyes,

2019) may need verification.

HOST. Tenthredinidae (Hymenoptera) : Macrophya punctumalbum (L., 1767) (Huber &

Thuróczy 2018) and also an unidentified sawfly species, probably either Tenthredo sp. or

Rhogogaster sp. (Triapitsyn et al., 2020).

COMMENTS. I examined a card-mounted female (in FMNH) from Zelenogorsk, Kurortnyi rayon, Saint Petersburg, Russia, identified by W. Hellén as Anaphes brachygaster

Debauche, 1948 and labeled only as “Terijoki. Hellén.” and “140”; in the unpublished W.

Hellén’s notebooks in the FMNH, this number on light brown paper corresponds to the following information (M. Koponen, personal communication): collected on 12. VI 1927 at a side of railway tracks. Following slide-mounting, I determined it to belong to A. ( Anaphes)

crassipennis.

I also examined the following specimen that keys to A. ( Anaphes) crassipennis in Huber

& Thuróczy (2018) but are more or less different from the positively identified ones of this species in one or several characteristics: Belgium: Walloon Brabant, Waterloo, 30.VIII–9.IX

1992, in garden ( P. Dessart) [ 1 ♀, ISNB] .
