D e s c r i p t i o n: Ô (after GUSSAKOVSKIJ 1927 and KAZENAS 2000). 8-9 mm. Head, antenna and mesosoma black. Metasoma red, more or less brownish apically. Coxae, trochanters and base of femora black, remaining parts of legs red. Mandible black, mesally reddish. Middle clypeal lobe evenly convex. Clypeus and frons densely and finely punctate. Tyloids of antennomeres VII-XII with two large tubercles. Vertex shiny. Mesoscutum densely and finely punctate, with long dense setation. Frons below ocelli with dull and glabrous spot. Vertex smooth and shiny. Gena with long and dense white setation. Mesoscutum densely punctate, posteromedian with smooth and shiny spot. Mesoscutellum smooth and shiny, densely punctate laterally and distally. Propodeal dorsum glabrous, irregularly reticulate. Lateral surface of propodeum densely punctate, interspaces wrinkled. Face and mesosoma except propodeal dorsum with long and dense setation masking the surface. Metasoma weakly shiny, with fine microsculpture; tergum I densely and shallowly punctate, with white setae, separated from II by a furrow. Metasomal hairbrush beginning on sternum III; central setae short, lateral ones about 1.5× as long as diameter of front ocellus. Forewing hyaline.
♀. 8-10 mm. Head and mesosoma black. Metasoma red. Antenna brown. Legs red; coxae, trochanters and base of femora black. Clypeal lamella rounded. Frons with blurred punctures and diffuse microsculpture. Vertex smooth with scattered punctures. Mesoscutum densely punctate, with smooth and shiny posteromedian spot. Tegula reddish brown. Propodeal dorsum glabrous, reticulate; lateral surface with blurred punctures. Head and mesosoma except propodeal dorsum with long and dense white pubescence. Metasomal terga I-II with long setae. Ventral spines of forebasitarsus continuously prolonged to the apex of tarsomere, with fine setae over its whole length. Forewing hyaline, marginal cell short, anterior margin about as long as cell height.
D i s t r i b u t i o n: Central Asia: Kazakhstan ( KAZENAS 2000), Turkmenistan (type locality).
Astata schmideggeri nov.sp. Holotype: 3, N-Tunesien, 35 km SÖ Bizerte, Ghar el Melh /Strand, 27.6.1994, Tu-Gha., Hauser ( SE).
Paratypes: 633 with same data as holotype, Schmid-Egger. (SE, JA).
D i a g n o s i s:3. Astata schmideggeri nov.sp. is characterized by its glabrous dorsal area of the propodeum, black pronotal lobe and tegula, red and black metasoma, prolonged middle clypeal lobe and obtuse-angled hindtrochanter. It is distinguished from all other species of the A. boops group by the combination of the distinctly enlarged midcoxa and very broad metasomal hairbrush covering one third of sterna IV-VI.
D e s c r i p t i o n: 3. 8 mm. Habitus dorsal see Fig. 131 View Figs 131-140 , lateral see Fig. 132 View Figs 131-140 . Head, antenna, mesosoma and legs black. Mandible black, reddish-yellow mesally. Metasoma: Terga I-III red; declivity of I with black spot, III with dark posterior margin. Sterna predominantly black, I-II with red spots. Face with appressed white setae. Lower margin of mandible simple. Gena and vertex smooth and shiny, with erect white setae. Middle clypeal lobe distinctly protruding beyond lateral lobe, anterior margin straight. Antennomere I with white setae, III about 4.0-5.0×, VI about 2× as long as apically wide (Fig. 33). Tyloids of antennomeres VI-X carinate, extending over the entire length of antennomere, with inconspicuous tubercles proximally and apically (Fig. 34). Mesoscutum densely punctate, dull. Mesoscutellum smooth and shiny, distally and laterally densely punctate. Mesopleuron with punctures, posteriorly confluent into rugae; ventrally smooth and shiny. Prepectus and epimeron densely wrinkled. Dorsal surface of propodeum glabrous, reticulate with oblique longitudinal carinae. Lateral surface of propodeum coarsely wrinkled, with dense whitish setation. Coxae, trochanters and femora with whitish setae, longest ventral setae of hindfemur about as long as two thirds of maximal femur diameter. Midcoxa distinctly rectangularly enlarged, on inner side rounded (Fig. 35). Hindcoxa unmodified. Hindtrochanter with short acute extension apically. Terga finely shagreened, without punctures. Metasomal hairbrush beginning on sternum IV, very wide, covering about one third of sterna IV-VI, short central setae about as long as a quarter of lateral ones, the latter about as long as those on sternum II (Fig. 36). Forewing weakly yellowish in the area of veins, apical margin hyaline. Hindwing hyaline.
♀. Unknown.
E t y m o l o g y The species is named in honor of my dear friend and colleague Christian Schmid-Egger (Berlin, Germany).
D i s t r i b u t i o n: Maghreb: Tunisia (type locality).
