DIAGNOSIS. FEMALE (specimens from the European part of Russia and Italy). Antenna

( Fig. 47 ) with scape (excluding radicle) 2.5–3.4× as long as wide, smooth; F2 shorter than pedicel and F3–F6 at least as long as pedicel (usually longer), F2 2.0–2.6× as long as wide,

combined length of F1 and F2 at least slightly shorter than F3, F3 the longest funicular, F3–F6

each with 2 mps; clava with 6 mps, 2.6–3.0× as long as wide, 0.9–1.1× as long as combined length of F5 and F6. Fore wing ( Fig. 48 ) 5.4–6.5× as long as wide; longest marginal seta 1.3–

1.5× maximum wing width; marginal space separated from medial space by 2 lines of setae.

Hind wing ( Fig. 48 ) 19–22× as long as wide; longest marginal seta 3.5–4.1× maximum wing width, disc usually with only admarginal rows of setae but sometimes with an additional short,

irregular row of setae at apex. Metatarsomere 1 slightly shorter than metatarsomere 2 ( Fig.

50). Ovipositor ( Fig. 49 ) occupying 0.7–0.9× length of gaster (and thus not extending forward under mesosoma), not exserted beyond apex of gaster posteriorly, and 0.9–1.2×

length of metatibia.

In the specimens from the eastern Palaearctic region, scape (minus radicle) relatively a little longer (up to 4.2× as long as wide) and clava 3.1× as long as wide.

MALE. Known (Debauche, 1948).

DISTRIBUTION. Russia *; Austria, Belgium, Germany, Italy *, Kyrgyzstan *, Netherlands,

Poland, Republic of Korea *, Serbia. Some other records (Noyes, 2019) need verification.

HOST. Curculionidae : Isochnus sequensi (Stierlin, 1894) (Noyes, 2019) .

COMMENTS. One specimen, which has 1 mps on F4 on one antenna but none on the other ( Russia: Moskovskaya oblast’, Noginskiy rayon, Fryazevo, 9.VII 2002 (S.V. Triapitsyn) [1 ♀, UCRC]), otherwise fits A. (Anaphes) gauthieri better than A. (Anaphes) ovipositor

Soyka, 1946 as it has a very short F2.

I examined two card-mounted specimens, a female and a male (in FMNH) from Komarovo, Kurortnyi rayon, Saint Petersburg, Russia, both identified by W. Hellén as Anaphes devillei Debauche, 1948 and labeled only as “Terijoki Hellén.”, the male standing under W .

Hellén’s number 827 on faded light brown paper; in the unpublished W. Hellén’s notebooks in the FMNH, this number on this color of paper corresponds to the following information

(M. Koponen, personal communication): collected on 24.VI 1927 in Kellomäki (dunes).

Following slide-mounting, I determined the female to belong to A. (Anaphes) gauthieri . The male, an Anaphes sp. , is not identifiable even to subgenus, so it was not slide-mounted.
