Meteorus subjaculator Tobias, 1986: 344 View in CoL Holotype ♀, Russia: ‘ Altai river Katun, 9.viii.1909 ’ ( Gorchakovskiy ) (ZIN, St. Petersburg)—examined.

Diagnosis: Meteorus subjaculator is similar to M. cis but has a longer ovipositor (3.5 times the length of the petiolar tergum in the former, 2.0 in the latter). Another character separating these two species is the sculpture of the propodeum. M. subjaculator has the propodeum set with vague carinae, hidden in rugosity, whilst M. cis has distinct carinae and smooth areas in between.

Studied material: 2 specimens.

Description: Size 3.5 mm. Antennal articles 23. Head slightly transverse but rounded behind eyes. Ocelli small, OOL=4. Eyes small, slightly protuberant. Malar space slightly shorter than basal breadth of mandible. Face 1.2 times as broad as high, punctate, not strongly protuberant. Clypeus narrower than face, almost flat, its apical border weakly notched medially and usually with a weak vertical impression behind the notch. Tentorial pits distinct. Mandibles short, stout and moderately twisted. Precoxal sulcus wide, rugose. Propodeum with slight carinae, quite rugose. Petiolar tergum with small dorsal pits, dorsal surface, from base to apical end, reticulate-rugose with a few longitudinal striae laterally. Ovipositor 3.5 times the length of petiolar tergum, slender. Legs slender; hind coxa punctate. Tarsal claws not lobed but somewhat swollen basally. Colour testaceous to brown; clypeus, mandibles and usually 3 rd abdominal tergum reddish testaceous; coxa and legs yellow. Pterostigma dark with light upper border. Fore wing m-cu antefurcal, vein 2-SR+M as long as vein r.
