MATERIAL EXAMINED. Russia: Sakhalinskaya oblast’, Sakhalin Island, 6 km E of

Sokol, near Belaya River, 31.VII 2001 (D. J. Bennett, T. Anderson) [1 ♀, CAS].

DIAGNOSIS. FEMALE (specimen from Russia). Antenna ( Fig. 1 ) with scape (excluding radicle) 3.0× as long as wide, with inconspicuous cross-ridges; F3–F6 longer than pedicel, F2

3.0× as long as wide and slightly shorther than following funiculars, F3 the longest funicular,

mps on F3–F6 (2 on each); clava with 6 mps, 2.4× as long as wide, 0.8× as long as combined length of F5 and F6. Fore wing ( Fig. 2 ) 4.7× as long as wide; longest marginal seta about

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

Hind wing ( Fig. 2 ) about 18× as long as wide; longest marginal seta 3.2× maximum wing width, disc with 1 irregular row of setae apically. Metatarsomere 1 about as long as metatarsomere 2 ( Fig. 4 ). Ovipositor ( Fig. 3 ) occupying entire length of gaster (but not extending forward under mesosoma), not exserted beyond apex of gaster posteriorly, and 1.4× length of metatibia.

MALE. Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION.? Russia*; Belgium. Other records (Noyes, 2019) need verification.

HOSTS. Unknown.

COMMENTS. I only tentatively assign this specimen to A. (Anaphes) arenbergi because its fore wing is slightly narrower and with marginal setae a little longer than what Huber &

Thuróczy (2018) indicated for females of the latter species: at most 4.4× as long as wide and less than 0.8×, respectively. Besides, the hind wing of the type specimens from Belgium apparently has two irregular rows of setae on the disc apically (Huber & Thuróczy, 2018).
