Recent reports of Melitaea ornata Christoph, 1893 from countries within the Western Palaearctic region, for example from Spain, Bosnia Herzegovina and Asia, have considerably widened the previously accepted distribution of this species. Details of localities in more than twenty-five countries, with references, are given. Those countries in which the presence of M. ornata has been reported but without any substantial evidence are noted.

The nomenclature of the following species has been clarified and corrected: Atractodes mediatus Förster has been corrected to a junior synonym of A. albovinctus Haliday, Atractodes brevicornis Bauer of A. gravidus Gravenhorst, Atractodes vestalis Haliday and A. discoloripes Förster of Stilpnus tenebricosus (Gravenhorst), Atractodes försteri Dalla Torre of A. obsoletor (Zetterstedt), Atractodes incessor Haliday of Mesoleptus laevigatus (Gravenhorst), Atractodes neophytus Förster of A. obsoletor (Zetterstedt), Atractodes pygmaeator Zetterstedt of A. bicolor Gravenhorst, Atractodes quanjeri Smits van Burgst of A. alutaceus Thomson, Atractodes sarntheinii Dalla Torre of A. vicinus Förster and Atractodes varicornis Holmgren of Oxytorus luridator (Gravenhorst). Atractodes rufipes Thomson, A. rufipes Förster and A. thomsoni Jussila are junior primary homonyms, and A. cultrarius Forster, A. designatus Forster, A. intersectus Förster, A. rufipes Förster and A. rufipes Thomson are junior secondary homonyms. Atractodes intersectus Boyer de Fonscolombe, A. mesozonius (Gravenhorst), A. quadrispinus Ratzeburg, A. riparius Ruschka, A. spiniger Snellen van Vollenhoven and A. teneriventris (Gravenhorst, 1829) are regarded as nomina dubia. Atractodes nigripennis Hellen has been added to the fauna of the western Palaearctic Region.

New taxonomic, morphological and faunistic data for three Western Palaearctic species of the genus Acrolocha Thomson, 1858 are provided. Acrolocha caucasica Tóth, 1976 is redescribed and illustrated. The lectotype for A. pliginskii Bernhauer, 1912 is designated. Acrolocha amabilis (Heer, 1841) is recorded from Central European part of Russia and Georgia for the first time.

The first fossil representative of Eledonoprius Reitter, E. incoronatus sp. nov., is described from Eocene Baltic amber. The genus is associated with old-growth forests in the modern Western Palaearctic Region and apparently has persistent in this Region since the Paleogene.

A new interpretation of the homologies of the male terminalia is proposed for this lineage, and the phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographic history of the group are discussed.

In this paper I am redescribing and giving some interesting, new, biological information with regard to two species of Apanteles, of which one, A. compressiventris, has not previously been recorded in the Old World, and the other, A. plutellae, not previously recorded from the Western Palaearctic Region; and I believe that it is better to communicate this information at this time rather than to wait until the completion of the monograph upon which it is known that I am engaged, a matter yet of some years.

Interstitial Waters

A new species ofMorariacollected from interstitial waters of southern Germany is described. The new speciesMoraria glitzaen. sp. can be differentiated from other members of the genus by a combination of morphological traits related to the shape of the anal operculum, the armature of leg 4 and the ornamentation of the urosome in both sexes. Males ofM. glitzaen. sp. have a typical number of armature elements on the endopods of legs 2 to 4, some of which with unique morphology. Females can be distinguished from those of other species of the genus by the number of antennular segments, the number of setae on the exopod of the antenna and the mandibular palp, the armature of legs 1, 3 and 4, and the size and armature of leg 5. The relationship of the new species to closely related species, viz.,M. catalana,M. jana,M. stankovitchiandM. varicais discussed. The morphological differences to other species inhabiting groundwaters and epigean habitats of the region, viz.,M. alpina,M. brevipes,M. fontinalis,M. mrazeki mrazeki,M. mrazeki macedonica,M. pectinata,M. poppeiandM. radovnaeare presented. A distribution map of theMorariaspecies known from Germany and a dichotomous identification key of the 20 species from the Western Palaearctic Region are provided.
