Introduction
Four species of the parasitic wasps of the genus Idiomacromerus were found in material recently reared
by W. Kuslitzky and Ya. Argov from flower heads of some Asteraceae (Centaurea) infested by Tephritidae and
Cynipidae in Israel. Two species – I. lysander Szelényi and I. pulcher Zerova et Seryogina have been previ-
ously known from Hungary and Ukraine, but from other hosts; two of reared species were found to be new
and are described below. Material is deposited in collection of the Museum of the Tel Aviv University (TAU)
and in I. I. Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, Kyiv, Ukraine (SIZK).
Idiomacromerus artusis Zerova, sp. n.
Mate r i a l. Holotype }, Israel, Kefar Barukh, 27.07.2010, ex seed heads of Centaurea verutum L. (W. Kus -
litzky) (TAU). Paratypes: 2 }, label as in holotype; 8 } label as holotype, but 15.06.2011 (TAU; SIZK).
Holotype and 8 paratypes are deposited in collection of the Museum of the Tel Aviv University.
2 paratypes – in collection of the Schmalhausen Institute of Zoology, NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv).
D e s c r i p t i o n. Female (fig. 1, 7—9; 2, 1). Body length: holotype 1.8 mm
(1.4—1.8 mm without ovipositor). Ovipositor sheath slightly shorter than abdomen and
1.43 times as long as hind tibia. Body bright bluish-green; extended part of ovipositor brown,
all coxae and femora green, tibia and tarsi (except of last brown tarsal segments) yellow;
wings hyaline, veins light yellow. Head and dorsal part of thorax with very finely retic-
ulation, pubescence of head and thorax not visible.
Head from above distinctly broader than thorax, width to length 38 : 16; POL to OOL
as 11 : 6. temple much shorter than the length of eye. Head in frontal view flat, wider
than high in ratio 38 : 35; malar space consists 1/3 hight of eye. External margin of clypeus
straight; face cavity very long; face without pubescence, with very fine sculpture. Antenna

inserted very low, nearly over clypeus, scape reaching only half-length of face cavity, pedi-
cel long, nearly as long as 5 flagellum segments, anellus very short, four basal flagellum
segments very small, anelli-like, 3 subapical flagellum segments transverse, club stout, wide
and long; pubescence on flagellum very thin, hardly visible.
Mesosoma not bulged in profile, almost flat dorsally; sculpture of pronotum, mesos-
cutum and scutellum with fine reticulation; pronotum very short; propodeum and
mesosternum almost smooth. All coxae without distinct sculpture, polished. Basal part
of fore wing almost bare, apical part with very short and light pubescence. Ratio of marginal,
postmarginal and radial veins is 3.3 : 1.5 : 1.0.
Metasoma: petiolus very short, all abdominal tergites with fine reticulation and green
polished tinge. Ovipositor sheath a little 0.94 times as long as abdomen.
Male unknown.
Compara t i v e no te s. Idiomacromerus artusis sp. n. is similar to I. persimilis sp. n. in
having flagellar segments 1—2 very short and anelliform, differing by longer ovipositor,
longer postmarginal vein and very short flagellar segments 3—4.
Idiomacromerus persimilis Zerova, sp. n.
Mat e r i a l. Holotype }, Israel, Nes Ziyyona, 18.08.2011, from seedhead of Centaurea procurrens Sieber
ex Spreng. (Kuslitzky) (TAU). Paratypes: 1 }, 1 {, “86257”, Israel, Nes Ziyyona, 19.08.2010, from seedhead
of Centaurea procurrens (W. Kuslitzky); 1 {, Israel, Giv’at Brenner, 10.09.2010, seedhead of Centaurea procur-
rens (Kuslitzky) (TAU; SIZK).
Holotype and paratypes (1 }, 1 {) in collection of the Museum of the Tel Aviv University, 1 paratype
(female) in collection of the Institute of Zoology NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv).
De s c r i p t i o n. Female (fig. 1, 10—12; 2, 2). Body length 1.0—1.4 mm, holotype
1.4 mm (without ovipositor), ovipositor sheath 0.58 times as long as abdomen (in pro-
file) and 1.35 as long as hind tibia. Body bright bluish-green; fore and middle coxae green,
hind coxa brownish-green; femora, tibiae and tarsi bright yellow; tip of ovipositor dark
brown. Wings hyaline, veins light yellow, almost white. Pubescence on head and thorax
absent.
Head from above much broader than thorax, 1.27 times as wide as long; POL : OOL =
= 2.11 : 1.0; temples very short. Head in frontal view flat, 1.07 times as wide as high;
frontal cavity shallow, polished, very long; clypeus with external margin straight, with
7—8 white short bristles on external side. Malar space much shorter than longitudinal eye
diameter. Face without pubescence except of row of short bristles on external part of
clypeus, sculpture of face very thin. Antenna inserted very low, on sides of clypeus; scape
almost reaching half-length of face cavity; pedicel long, nearly as long as four following
flagellum segments; club stout, as long as four previous flagellum segments. Basal part
of flagellum with one anellus and three very small flagellar segments like anelli. Pubescence
of flagellum very short and thin.
Mesosoma flat dorsally, pronotum very short, dorsal serface of thorax with very fine
sculpture, propodeum almost smooth. All coxae without distinct sculpture, polished. Basal
1/3 part of fore wing bare, the last part with very short and light pubescence. Ratio of
marginal, postmarginal and radial veins is 2.67 : 1.25 : 1.
Metasoma: petiolus very short, all abdominal tergites without distinct sculpture, pol-
ished; ovipositor distinctly shorter than (0.6 times as long as) abdomen (in profile).
Male. Length of body 1.1 mm. Colour and sculpture as in female. Club as in female,
stout and thick. Abdomen 0.83 times as long as mesososma.
Compara t i v e no te s. Idiomacromerus persimilis sp. n. is similar to I. artusis sp. n. in
having flagellar segments 1—2 very short and anelliform, differing by shorter ovipositor
and postmarginal vein, and flagellar segments 3—4 longer (1.5—2 times as wide as long).
I. persimilis sp. n. also resembles I. bouceki (Zerova et Seryogina, 1997) (fig. 1, 13—15);
from that species I. persimilis sp. n. differs by shorter postmarginal vein and very small
apical process, which is long and stout in I. bouceki.

Idiomacromerus pulcher (Zerova et Seryogina, 1997)
Zerova, Seryogina, 1997: 973 (Liodontomerus)
Ma t e r i a l. 3 }, Israel, Ramat Yishay, 15.06.2011 (Kuslitzky) (TAU).
Commen t s. This species was described based on material from southern regions
of the Palaearctic Region (Ukraine: Crimea, Kherson Region; Tadjikistan), where it was
reared from cynipid larvae in flower heads and stems of some Asteraceae. In Israel, this
species was reared from flower heads of Centaurea hyalolepis Boiss. (Asteraceae) with lar-
vae of Tephritidae.
Idiomacromerus lysander (Szelényi, 1959)
Szelényi, 1959: 141—146 (Liodontomerus)
Ma t e r i a l. 12 }, 1 {, Israel, Nes Ziyyona, 18.08.2011, seed head of Centaurea procurrens, (Kuslitzky)
(TAU).
Commen t s. This species was described based on material from Hungary, where
it was reared from seeds of Medicago minima (Linnaeus) Bartal. (Fabaceae). In Israel it
was reared from seed heads of Centaurea procurrens Sieber ex Spreng.
Discussion
All species of Idiomacromerus, reared in Israel from flower heads of some Centaurea
form a group of morphologically similar species. The features they share are as foolows:
the long and stout pedicel, stout and wide club; base of flagellum very narrow with very
small anellus and decrease first flagellar segments; flat dorsal surface of thorax (fig. 1, 2,
5, 8, 11). I. bouceki (fig. 1, 13—15) is also similar to these species, but is a parasite of
another host (Tetramesa) (Zerova, Seryogina, 1997).
