Holotype: 3. Mongolia, 90 km N Ulanbatar, Segnezer riv., 1460 m, 6-8.VII.2003, J. Halada ( BOL) . Paratype: Mongolia. 13 Arkhangay, 90 km NE Tsetserleg, N 48°03' E 102°25,5', 1400 m, 24.VII.2004, J. Halada ( BOL).
D i a g n o s i s: 3. Astata bulbosa is characterized by asetose dorsal surface of propodeum, black pronotal lobe and tegula. It is distinguished from other species of the A. boops group with red and black metasoma and black legs by concave midcoxa on inner side, hindtrochanter with short rectangular tip and by conspicuous vesicular tripartite tyloids of middle antennomeres. It differs from other species with hardly protruding middle clypeal lobe like A. kashmirensis by long lateral setae of metasomal hairbrush, from A. rufipes additionally by black legs and from A. apostata by limitation of metasomal hairbrush on the sterna IV-VI. It is distinguished from other species with tripartite tyloids and concave inner side of midcoxa ( A. minor , A. lusitanica ) by the conspicuous size of vesicular tyloids, shorter middle clypeal lobe and rectangular apical margin of hindtrochanter.
D e s c r i p t i o n: 3. 10-11 mm. Habitus dorsal see Fig. 117 View Figs 113-118 , lateral see Fig. 118 View Figs 113-118 . Head, antenna and mesosoma black. Mandible black (holotype) or black with reddish shimmer medially (paratype). Legs black, tarsi brownish. Metasomal tergum I red with black basal spot; II red, III red with black posterior margin, IV-VII black. Sternum I black, II red with large black central spot, III red with black posterior margin or predominantly black, IV-VII black. Frons and face between antennal socket and eye densely punctate, with white setae. Middle clypeal lobe short, hardly protruding beyond lateral lobe; apical lamella straight. Lower margin of mandible with obtuse corner. Antennomeres I-II with exclusively white setae, III about 3× as long as apically wide; V-IX apically widened in profile ( Fig. 42 View Figs 37-46 ), with tripartite tyloids, middle tubercle vesicular and conspicuously enlarged ( Fig. 43 View Figs 37-46 ). Gena smooth and shiny with fine punctures bearing erect white setae. Pronotal collar densely reticulate, dull. Mesoscutum very finely and densely punctate, anterior half nearly without interspaces; posterior surface with scattered punctures and distinct shiny interspaces. Mesopleuron finely and densely punctate, distribution of punctures remarkably regular. Dorsal surface of propodeum glabrous, coarsely reticulate, without carinae. Lateral and posterior surface of propodeum densely punctate. Mesosoma except dorsal surface of propodeum with white setae not masking the surface. Midcoxa on inner side concave. Hindcoxa unmodified. Hindtrochanter with rectangular apex. Coxae, trochanters and femora with white setae. Ventral setae of mid- and hindfemora not longer than maximal femur diameter. Metasomal tergum I with reticulate microsculpture and erect white setae, other terga with very fine microstriae and very scattered punctures. Sterna with whitish setae. Metasomal hairbrush on sterna IV ‒ VI brownish, central setae about one third as long as lateral ones, longest lateral setae distinctly longer than those of sternum II. Forewing slightly brownish tinged. Marginal cell about 3.6× as long as wide. Forewing veins and pterostigma dark brown.
