Pauesia longicauda Chiriac, 1993

M a t e r i a l. 1 ♀, Kyiv Region, Boyarka [50°18’56.55'' N, 30°17’27.19'' E], 8.06.197 2, reared from Cinara pinea (Mordvilko) 12.06.197 2 (Ichanskaya) (ZIN) .

С o m m e n t. There is lack of data about this species. The only information on P. longicauda is in the article of I. Chiriac (1993).

С o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s. In the shape of ovipositor sheath and number of antennal segments P. longicauda is very similar to Japanese species P. akamatsucola Takada, 1968, from which it differs by the propodeum with lateral longitudinal carinae, and temples (dorsally) slightly longer than 0.5 of eye length (Chiriac, 1993). Among species of Ukrainian fauna P. longicauda is similar to P. laricis (Haliday) differing by: 1) mesoscutum that vertically arises above pronotum; 2) petiole 4 times as long as wide at spiracles level; 3) longer and thinnner ovipositor sheath.

H o s t s. Cinara pinea .

H a b i t a t s. Coniferous and deciduous forests.
