612CAB63C9BA5D4FA944F1E8E5B7FE57.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Subbasal cell of fore wing with small glabrous patch apically (a in Fig. 20); pterostigma variable, often with less-developed pale yellowish patch or entirely brown antero-basally (Figs 3, 5); hind femur of ♀ usually 4.7 – 5.5 × longer than wide; pterostigma usually dark brown or brown antero-basally, rarely yellowish (Figs 5, 18, 19); if ♀ hind femur partly dark brown, then usually paler ventrally than laterally; fourth antennal segment dark brown (Figs 3, 15), if brown then darker than scapus ventrally (Fig. 18); vein 1 - M of fore wing of ♂ and surrounding area often darker than in A. seriatus. On average with about 3 more antennal segments than A. seriatus in both sexes. We have also seen the holotype of Rogas kuslitzkyi Tobias, 1976, from Azerbaijan and believe it can be ruled out to belong to A. pseudoseriatus (see also notes on barcoded specimens from Primorsky Krai below).	en	van Achterberg, Cornelis, Shaw, Mark R., Fernandez-Triana, Jose, Quicke, Donald L.

Legs. Tarsal claws rather robust, bristly setose and very finely yellowish pectinate; hind coxa rather shiny and only very superficially micro-sculptured, dorsally granulate; hind trochantellus rather slender (Fig. 11); length of hind femur and basitarsus 5.1 and 8.3 × their width, respectively; length of inner hind spur 0.2 × hind basitarsus; apex of hind tibia with distinct comb at inner side (Fig. 10). Metasoma. First tergite distinctly convex medially, as long as wide apically; first and second tergites with medio-longitudinal carina, weakly indicated on third tergite; first tergite densely longitudinally rugose; second and third tergites more or less obliquely rugulose (Fig. 8); medio-basal area of second tergite triangular and minute (Fig. 8); second suture deep and distinctly crenulate; remainder of metasoma superficially micro-sculptured or smooth; fourth and apical half of third tergite without sharp lateral crease; ovipositor sheath widened, with medium-sized slanted setae and apically subtruncate (Fig. 10). Colour. Dark brown; palpi, legs (but base of hind tibia dark brown), mandible (except dark brown teeth), malar space, clypeus and tegulae pale yellowish; orbita, propleuron, side of pronotum, mesosternum anteriorly, scutellum largely, first tergite medio-apically, second tergite medially (area widened posteriorly) and third tergite antero-medially yellowish brown; antenna, veins and pterostigma (but slightly paler basally than medially) mainly dark brown; third-sixth tergites posteriorly and laterally ivory (Figs 3, 8); wing membrane subhyaline, but surroundings of veins 1 - M, 1 - SR, 1 - CU 1 and r of fore wing more or less infuscate (Figs 5, 18).	en	van Achterberg, Cornelis, Shaw, Mark R., Fernandez-Triana, Jose, Quicke, Donald L.

612CAB63C9BA5D4FA944F1E8E5B7FE57.taxon	etymology	Etymology. The species is named “ pseudoseriatus ”, because of its similarity to A. seriatus.	en	van Achterberg, Cornelis, Shaw, Mark R., Fernandez-Triana, Jose, Quicke, Donald L. J.
