Diagnosis. Head in frontal view suboval, mandibles long, sickle-shaped, widely overlapping; mouth aperture narrow, toruli separated by shallow cleft; eyes large, its longest diameter slightly longer than malar space; antennae in females 15-segmented, subfiliform, with submoniliform apical flagellomeres; antennae in males filiform, flagellomere 1 not emarginate at base; scape cylindrical, bowed; epomia distinct; notauli deep, diverging posteriorly, radial cell short, slightly longer than marginalis, propodeum transverse with strongly converging plicae and with large and prominent spiracles; petiole cylindrical, ribbed longitudinaly; gaster subovoid, pygidium as long as prepygium; segments of prepygidium ring-like, loosely articulated, basal striation of macrotergite with distinct medial furrow.

Variability. The examined material shows no apparent variation.

Differential diagnosis. Aclista marginalis is similar to A. longistilus from which it differs in the following characters: (i) propodeum with strong lamellate inner plicae; (ii) propodeal spiracle large and prominent; (iii) antennae including scape fuscous with submoniliform preapical flagellomeres (females) and (iv) legs dark.

Bionomy. Hosts unknown; flight period from May to September

Distribution. France ( KIEFFER 1916), Sweden ( NIXON 1957). New for the Czech Republic
