Synopeas epigeios Buhl, 2006, sp. n.

Synopeas epigeios sp. n. (Figs 37–40) Female – Length: 1.6 mm. Black, A1 and legs medium reddish, coxae and last segment of tarsi darker. Head from above (Fig. 37) 1.75 times as wide as long, fully 1.1 times as wide as mesosoma, finely and evenly reticulate-coriaceous, without hyperoccipital carina, hardly angled. OOL:LOL = 3:4. Head in frontal view 1.25 times as wide as high. Antenna (Fig. 38) with A1 as long as distance between inner orbits. Mesosoma almost 1.6 times as long as wide, fully 1.1 times as high as wide. Sides of pronotum faintly reticulate-coriaceous in upper half, in lower half smooth and bare. Mesoscutum finely and weakly reticulate-coriaceous, with meshes very small as on head, postero-medially smooth and slightly swollen and brownish prolonged above scutellum; disc without trace of notauli, with rather dense, evenly distributed hairs. Mesopleuron smooth. Scutellum (Fig. 39) smooth and bare along middle, laterally with dense hairs; spine distinct and slightly brownish, below with a narrow, vertical semitransparent lamella. Metapleuron more or less smooth and bare in anterior third, rest with dense pilosity. Propodeal carinae rather low, dark, in dorsal view thick and smooth, almost fused. Fore wing 0.75 times as long as body, 2.4 times as long as wide, clear but with dense microtrichia, without marginal cilia. Hind wing 5.7 times as long as wide; marginal cilia hardly 0.3 times the width of wing. Metasoma (Fig. 40) 1.25 times as long as head and mesosoma combined, slightly wider than mesosoma, almost 1.2 times as wide as high. T1 with a few longitudinal carinae on a smooth surface; junction of T1–T2 pubescent. T2 smooth except for reticulate sculpture along hind margin; T3–T6 with such reticulation except along anterior and posterior margins; apical tergites with some superficially implanted hairs, forming a transverse row on T5; T6 about as long as wide. Material examined: Holotype female: Denmark, East Jutland, Hevring Hede 6–7.VII. 2004, swept. P.N. BUHL leg. Preserved in ZMUC. Differs from S. dravedensis BUHL, 2004 e.g. in larger OOL, more swollen posterior part of mesoscutum, larger scutellar spine, less convex metasoma, and in lighter coloured body appendages, cf. BUHL (2004 a). Differs from S. rhanis (WALKER, 1835) in the two last mentioned characters and in having scutellum differently shaped, cf. VLUG (1985). S. convexus THOMSON, 1859 has metasoma shaped as in S. epigeios, but S. convexus has hyperoccipital carina, much smaller tooth on scutellum, and darker body appendages than S. epigeios, cf. BUHL (1998 a).Synopeas epigeios 新种（sp. n.）（图37~40） 雌虫：体长1.6 mm。体黑色；触角第一节（A1）及足呈中等红棕色，基节与跗节末节色泽较深。 头部背面观（图37）：宽为长的1.75倍，约为中躯的1.1倍宽，表面具细密均匀的网状革质纹，无后头脊（hyperoccipital carina），几无棱角。后单眼间距（OOL）:侧单眼间距（LOL）=3:4。头部正面观：宽为高的1.25倍。触角（图38）：第一节（A1）长度等于两复眼内缘间距。 中躯：长约为宽的1.6倍，高约为宽的1.1倍。前胸背板侧面上半部分具弱网状革质纹，下半部分光滑无毛。中胸盾片具细密且微弱的网状革质纹，网眼大小与头部相仿，后中部光滑，略隆起，呈棕褐色，延伸至小盾片上方；盾片无明显的盾纵沟（notauli），被较为浓密、均匀分布的柔毛。中胸侧板光滑。小盾片（图39）：中部光滑无毛，侧缘具浓密柔毛；小盾片刺（scutellar spine）明显，略带棕褐色，其下方具一狭窄的垂直半透明片状结构。后胸侧板：前1/3部分近乎光滑无毛，其余区域被浓密的毛被覆盖。并胸腹节脊（propodeal carinae）低矮色深，背面观粗壮光滑，近乎愈合。 前翅：长为体长的0.75倍，长为宽的2.4倍，透明但密布微毛，无缘毛。后翅：长为宽的5.7倍；缘毛长度仅约为翅宽的0.3倍。 腹部（metasoma，图40）：长为头与中躯总长的1.25倍，略宽于中躯，宽约为高的1.2倍。第一腹节背板（T1）光滑表面上具数条纵脊；T1与T2的连接处被短毛覆盖。第二腹节背板（T2）除后缘具网状刻纹外，其余部分光滑；第三至第六腹节背板（T3~T6）除前后缘外，均具该类网状刻纹；末几节背板具浅生柔毛，在T5上形成一横排；第六腹节背板长宽近相等。 检视标本：雌虫正模：丹麦，东日德兰兰，赫夫林希德（Hevring Hede），2004年7月6~7日，网扫采集。P.N. BUHL 采集。标本保存于ZMUC。 本种与S. dravedensis BUHL, 2004的区别在于：后单眼间距更大，中胸盾片后隆起部分更显著，小盾片刺更大，腹部更不隆起，且附肢色泽更浅，详见BUHL（2004a）。本种与S. rhanis（WALKER, 1835）的区别在于上述后两项特征，且小盾片形态不同，详见VLUG（1985）。S. convexus THOMSON, 1859的腹部形态与S. epigeios相似，但S. convexus具后头脊，小盾片上的齿更小，且附肢色泽较S. epigeios更深，详见BUHL（1998a）。
