Syzeuctus flavimargo MEYER, 1926

H o l o t y p e: (♀) " Odessa, 6.VII.1923, leg. L.S. Zimin" (St. Petersburg?). Type not studied and actually not found in the collection in St. Petersburg (personal communication of D.R. KASPARYAN).

T r a n s l a t i o n o f o r i g i n a l D e s c r i p t i o n: Apicaltransversalcarina of propodeum absent. Head and mesosoma coarsely punctate. Metasoma matte, densely finely punctate. 1 st to 4 th tergites longer than wide, following tergites transverse. Ovipositor as long as the metasoma.

Color: Antenna red, blackish basally. Mesosoma yellowish, with black spots, scutellum and postscutellum yellow, tegula ivory. Metasoma red, all tergites with wide yellow apical bands, 1 st tergite without yellow lateral spots. Legs reddish-yellow, coxae red and yellow, trochanters blackish. Wings almost hyaline, pterostigma dark brown. ♂ as the ♀.

R e m a r k: According to AUBERT (1978: 128), the species differs from S. dusmeti and S. robustus by its color pattern and matt metasoma with dense punctures, but it seems doubtful if AUBERT had really seen the type material of S. flavimargo in St. Petersburg.
