C. elegans (Masi)

- Metascutellum produced as a lamina, weakly sclerotized, sometimes almost transparent, vertical, or almost vertical, covering apex of horn of T1 ( Figures 36–37, 40, 42, 43, 45, 46 ); fore wing with two dark transverse bands, or without dark transverse bands, almost transparent; horn of T1 sculptured or smooth and lustrous ( Figures 36–37, 40, 42–43, 45–46, 53 ); T2 with the same or with a different sculpture to T3; malar sulcus deeply incised; gena with conspicuous fan like striae............. 3

3 T2 and T3 with the same imbricate-reticulate sculpture (some longitudinal striae only at base of T2) ( Figures 15 , 53 ); metanotal lamina semicircular to subtriangular ( Figures 15 , 36, 42, 46, 53 ), vertical; netrion open ( Figures 16 , 39 ); fore wings with two dark bands (Figures 1516); horn of T1 smooth and lustrous; female with head and mesosoma black; metasoma browndark, slightly lighter at apices of tergites ( Figures 15–16 )......... Calotelea carbonaria Popovici, Masner & Notton n. sp.

- T2 with sculpture different from that of T3; metanotal lamina rectangular, conspicuous, vertical ( Figures 17 , 37, 40, 43, 45 ); netrion narrow, barely open ( Figures 18 , 40 ); fore wings transparent ( Figures 17–18 ); horn of T1 coriaceous to smooth; female pale ( Figures 1–18 , 56–57 )......................................... Calotelea laminata Masner & Popovici n. sp.

4 T2 and T3 both with imbricate-reticulate sculpture (some longitudinal striae only in basal 1/5 of T2); A3 almost as long as A4 and A5 ( Figure 31 ); LA5 1.3 time LA6; lateral propodeal areas smooth and lustrous ( Figures 21 , 47 ); basal ring short, aedeagovolsellar shaft at least 2 times longer than basal ring; digitus volsellaris with 3 subequal teeth ( Figure 2 )........................................................................ Calotelea carbonaria Popovici, Masner & Notton n. sp.

- T2 with conspicuous longitudinal striae; basal ring well developed, no more than 1.4 times shorter than aedeago-volsellar shaft, or longer that aedeago-volsellar shaft ( Figures 4–5 )..................................................... 5

5 Metascutellum well developed, produced as a conspicuous horizontal rectangular lamina ( Figures 23 , 48 ) (well visible especially in lateral view ( Figures 24 , 51 )), almost 0.4–0.5 as long as the scutellum; lateral propodeal area rugose ( Figure 48 ); LA3

shorter than LA4 (LA3, 0.8 times LA4). LA4 equal with LA5. LA5, 1.2 times LA6 (figure 33); basal ring well developed, 1.4 times longer that aedeago-volsellar shaft ( Figure 4 ); digitus volsellaris with five subequal teeth ( Figure 6 )............................................................................... Calotelea laminata Masner & Popovici n. sp. - Metascutellum not developed, without a metanotal lamina ( Figures 49, 52 ); lateral propodeal area sculptured; LA3 equal to LA5 and shorter than LA4 (LA3, 0.8 times LA4). LA5, 1.2 times LA6 ( Figure 35 ); basal ring developed, but shorter than aedeago-volsellar shaft (length of aedeago-volsellar shaft 1.2–1.3 times length of basal ring) ( Figure 5 ); digitus volsellaris with 3 teeth, the distal tooth much larger than the rest and apically dilated ( Figure 7 )................ Calotelea elegans (Masi)
