As is typical for Fidiobia, the female antenna is clavate and the male antenna is clubbed, but in the male of F. filicornis the antenna is almost filiform as in F. longiclava or F. vladlubomiri (both species with 10-merous antenna in male and female). Another distinctive character among the Palearctic species with 9-merous antennae is the presence of the transepisternal line, which is narrow, deeply incised, transverse and nearly complete in F. filicornis. This species is not known from the Oriental region (Veenakumari et al. 2018), but a new species, Fidiobia setosa was recently described from India and is considered a close relative of F. filicornis. These two species can be easily separated because of the presence of a hyperoccipital carina and 10-merous antennae in F. setosa.</p> <p>Comments.</p> <p>Fidiobia filicornis was described from the Afrotropical region (Togo) by Buhl (2014). It was described from a singleton male specimen with distinctive filiform antenna with 10-antennomeres and without notauli. At the moment, there are no data concerning the distribution or the abundance of this species in the Afrotropical region, but it is one of the best represented species in our Palearctic material. The specimens from China are from the Sino-Japanese region but do not differ morphologically from South Korean specimens. The difference between our material and the type specimen is in the sculpture of mesoscutum, which is smoother in the latter.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/89083A5957AE5A7BBE332346316DF2E0	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(BMNH).</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>Spain, Ireland, England (Popovici and Buhl 2010; Notton et al. 2014) (Fig. 306).</p> <p>Biology.</p> <p>Popovici and Buhl (2010) reported Andricus lignicola (Hartig) (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) on Quercus as the host of F. hispanica, as it was in O’Connor et al. (2004). Notton et al. (2014) observed that, in fact, F. hispanica, was reared from beetle eggs found in a vacated gall of Andricus lignicola (Fig. 98) on Quercus robur and from beetle eggs found in a vacated Synergus umbraculus (Olivier) cell in a vacated Andricus kollari (Hartig) gall. For this reason, we consider it likely that the true host is a beetle and not a cynipoid as mentioned in Popovici and Buhl (2010).</p> <p>Diagnosis.</p> <p>The small size and delicate exoskeleton of F. hispanica make this species unmistakable among the Palearctic species with 10-merous antennae. The habitus is somewhat similar to that of F. synergorum and these species have been previously confused (Buhl 1999b; O’Connor et al. 2004). The main differences between them are the number of antennomeres (10 in F. hispanica and 9 in F. synergorum) and the ratio between the width and height of the mesosoma in females (1.6 in F. hispanica and 2.7 in F. synergorum), the transverse carina between the lateral propodeal carinae (present in F. hispanica and absent in F. synergorum) and the structure of the metasoma in males (presented in Popovici and Buhl 2010). The 1:1:1 sensillar formula (Fig. 95b) is unique among the Palearctic species of Fidiobia in which this character has been observed.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/FD273308925B503B888C2ED80B7AF5F6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

We consider this assumption to have no support. The habitat of this species in Romania is represented by glades with shrubby vegetation.</p> <p>Diagnosis.</p> <p>This species can be diagnosed by the visible metascutellum and nearly glabrous metapleuron. It is relatively close to F. vanharteni and F. polita based on its general habitus. Fidiobia hofferi is most likely to be confused with F. polita, a species with which it is sympatric. The main difference is the presence of notauli in F. hofferi and the absence of these structures in F. polita. Another difference between these two species is the OOL:OD ratio (OOL is 2 times as long as OD in F. hofferi and OOL is equal to OD in F. polita).</p> <p>Fidiobia hofferi can be separated from F. vanharteni because the fore wings are uniformly hyaline in F. hofferi and dark medially in F. vanharteni. Also, the OOL is equal to about 2 OD in F. hofferi and the OOL is equal to or less than OD in F. vanharteni. Fidiobia hofferi is a polymorphic species and contains brachypterous females among the Romanian material.</p> <p>Comments.</p> <p>In specimens from the type series, the median prominence of T1 is smooth and without carinae. In the Romanian material, the median prominence of T1 has two carinae. Also, the specimens from Romania are more gracile than the specimens from the type series. The specimen from Ukraine has the wings more reduced than the brachypterous specimens from Romania, which are about half the length of the notauli, and the medial prominence of T1 with three carinae. The Ukrainian specimen otherwise matches our concept of F. hofferi.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/4B3FC457E1E05E2CB58D9720A4B0EC64	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Fidiobia insoonae and F. hofferi are allopatric and differ from each other mainly by the metascutellum, which is covered by the posterior margin of mesoscutellum and not visible in F. insoonae, and because of the setation of the metapleuron is sparse in F. hofferi and dense in F. insoonae. Also, the marginal fringe of the fore wing is short and barely noticable in F. hofferi but it is long in F. insoonae.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/4DEC4F47E9A15F3AA7A49992C08299E2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(SN) (OPPC0813).</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>Cyprus (Fig. 309).</p> <p>Diagnosis.</p> <p>Fidiobia lisenchiae is similar to F. platystasioides because of the absence of epitorular carinae, the fore wings with very short marginal setae and the notauli slightly dilated posteriorly. These two species are easily separated because the mesosoma is slightly flattened in F. lisenchiae and visibly flattened in F. platystasioides. Also, T2 is transverse in F. lisenchiae and square or nearly so in F. platystasioides. The difference between these two states of T2 is reflected in the ratio of T2:T1. T2 is at most 3 times as long as T1 in F. lisenchiae and at least 4 times as long as T1 in F. platystasioides. The submarginal vein is shorter in F. lisenchiae than in F. platystasioides, with the apex of the submarginal vein hardly surpassing the posterior edge of the propodeum in F. lisenchiae and surpassing the middle of T1 in F. platystasioides. Other subtle differences between these species are the color of the scape and tibia (yellow in F. lisenchiae and dark brown in F. platystasioides), the sculpture of the dorsal mesopleuron (with few striae and a smooth area in F. lisenchiae and with numerous, dense striae in F. platystasiodes) and in the sculpture of the lateral pronotal area (sculptured only in dorsal third in F. lisenchiae and in dorsal two thirds in F. platystasioides).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/184CDF175BCB53689B4EF82ECFDD4506	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

(TT) (CNCI).</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>Japan (Fig. 311).</p> <p>Biology.</p> <p>unknown.</p> <p>Diagnosis.</p> <p>We consider F. nipponica to be close to F. striatitergitis based on the presence of a metascutellar carina with a tooth, a posterior mesoscutellar sulcus and the very short marginal fringe of the fore wing. Although most of T2 in this species is smooth and shining, some very fine longitudinal striae can be observed laterally, but this sculpture is distinctly different than the extensive striation on T2 that is found in F. striatitergitis. The metasomal depression is completely covered with foamy structures and the large distance between the posterior ocellus and compound eye make this species easy to recognize among the Palearctic species of Fidiobia with 10-merous antennae.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/14E1F0A0CC205733A889068DF796E0BF	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The main differences between these two species is the ratio T2:T1 (in F. platystasioides T2 is at least 4 times as long as T1 and in F. lisenchiae T2 is at most 3 times as long as T1) and the length of the submarginal vein (the apex of the submarginal vein surpassing the middle of T1 in F. platystasioides and hardly surpassing the propodeum in F. lisenchiae). Other subtle differences between these species are the color of the scape and tibia (dark brown in F. platystasioides and yellow in F. lisenchiae), the sculpture of the dorsal mesopleuron (with numerous dense striae in F. platystasiodes and with few striae and a smooth area in F. lisenchiae) and the sculpture of the lateral pronotal area (sculptured in dorsal two thirds in F. platystasioides and only in dorsal third in F. lisenchiae).</p> <p>Comments.</p> <p>Fidiobia platystasioides is a distinct species because the notauli are slightly dilated posteriorly and almost parallel, and the body is flattened.

Of the Palearctic fauna, F. polita is most similar to F. politoides and differs in the length of the fore wing marginal setae (long marginal setae in F. polita and very short marginal setae in F. politoides). According to the studied material these species are allopatric.</p> <p>In the European fauna, F. polita is similar to F. hofferi but differs by the notauli (which are present in F. hofferi and absent in F. polita) and by the ratio OOL:OD (OOL = 2OD in F. hofferi and OOL = OD in F. polita). Because of the small size of both species, and because in some specimens of F. hofferi the notauli are superficial, the presence of notauli can be difficult to observe. Minor differences can also be observed in the structure of the antenna: A3 is shorter than A4 and the junction between A2 and A3 is narrow in F. polita, but in F. hofferi A3 is almost as long as A4 and the junction between A2 and A3 is large. In F. polita, A5 has the same shape as A4 (globular or moniliform), but in F. hofferi A5 it is more transverse than A4. The study of these characters requires examination of the antenna on a microscopic slide.</p> <p>Comments.</p> <p>In our material, the specimens from Sweden (type locality) are very similar to the specimen from Estonia. The specimen from Greece is the smallest, relatively weakly sclerotized and, in connection with this, the color of body is lighter than in the rest of the specimens. However, there are no characters to reliably separate it. Also, the Romanian specimen is slightly larger than the rest of the specimens examined.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/C7B6FEAC5D445824ABB4BFA2B647082A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Also, the fore wings in F. roatai have a peculiar pattern in color and in the distribution of setae. The basal 1/5 of the fore wing is light brown and the setae are absent or punctiform on this area. The apical 3/5 of fore wing is also light brown but covered with short setae. Between basal and apical brown areas of the fore wing there is a lighter almost triangular area. The anterior margin of the fore wings is also peculiar with an expanded costal lobe.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/81D158C7E3F757CD8E30EFDF18C1C924	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

In our material we identify F. rugosifrons from: Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary and Romania (Fig. 318).</p> <p>Biology.</p> <p>reared from the eggs of Hypera punctata (F) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) on Triticum sp. (Vlug 1995). This species prefers grassland habitats, e.g., meadows and glades.</p> <p>Diagnosis.</p> <p>Fidiobia rugosifrons is very close to F. rugosifronsoides and F. roatai because of the general habitus and the sculpture of the head, espeacially the frons. Based on this revision, the main characteristics of F. rugosifrons are the totally sculptured internotaular area (unsculptured in F. roatai, or partially sculptured in F. rugosifronsoides), totally sculptured lateral pronotal area (sculptured only on the dorsal half in F. rugosifronsoides and only in the dorsal third in F. roatai) and A3 1.5 times as long as A4 (A3 1.8-2.0 times as long as A4 in F. roatai and 1.2-1.3 times in F. rugosifronsoides).</p> <p>Comments.</p> <p>The sculptured internotaular area was mentioned by Crawford (1916) in the original description, "the head completely covered with sculpture as is mesonotum except for broad furrows", and also by Kozlov (1978, 1987), Buhl (1999a) and Popovici and Buhl (2010). Fouts (1924) added to the sculpture of mesonotum a new character, the ratio of A3/A4, mentioning "fourth antennal joint distinctly shorter than the third". This antennal character was used later by Kieffer (1926) and Evans and Peña (2005). Fabritius (1974) considered that in F. rugosifrons A3 is two times as long as A4, but in his drawing (p. 294, Abb. 2) A3 appears to be longer. Szelényi (1941) described his new Fidiobia tatrae and separated it from F. rugosifrons based on the shape of antennomeres, but without details concerning this difference. Regarding the sculpture of the mesoscutum from the description of Szelényi, it is clear that the type of sculpture is the same as that of F. rugosifrons, but it is not clear if the internotaular space is entirely sculptured.</p> <p>We located the type of F. tatrae in HNHM, but the specimen is essentially lost. On the card remain only the right antenna, clava of the left antenna, legs on the right side, and middle and hind legs from the left side (Figs 206, 207). Studying the antenna on the card and the drawing of Szelényi (1941), it can be observed that A3 is longer than A4, so we find no reason to consider F. tatrae different from F. rugosifrons. Based on this, we agree with Jansson (1956) who treated these two species as synonyms.</p> <p>Debauche (1947), apparently unaware of F. rugosifrons, described a new species, Rosneta phyrine. Jansson (1956) presented informative drawings of the habitus and antenna (here can be observed the ratio between A3 and A4) in Rosneta phryne and considered it a junior synonym of F. rugosifrons. By studying the type material of Rosneta phryne stored in Institut royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique, Bruxelles, we observed that the holotype was destroyed; on the points remain only the femora, tibiae and the tarsi from the middle and hind legs (left side), and from the middle leg (right side) and hind wing from the right side. The paratypes (some of them topotypic with the holotype) perfectly match our concept of F. rugosifrons.</p> <p>Prior to this study, we believe that the name " rugosifrons " was used for a complex of species including F. rugosifrons, F. rugosifronsoides and F. roatai. Although F. rugosifrons was considered as a species with a wide distribution (Fig. 318), we found it only in Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary and Romania. For the first time, a specimen in the Romanian material was identified as a female with reduced wings and this reduction appears not to be a teratology, as it otherwise conforms to our concept of F. rugosifrons.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/A7FF0ADED68B5D0A973827AEE2D3441A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The main differences between these two species consist of the sculpture of the area between the notauli (smooth in the posterior half in F. rugosifronsoides and totally sculptured in F. rugosifrons), in the ratio of A3 to A4 (A3 1.2 times as long as A4 in F. rugosifronsoides and A3 1.5 times as long as A4 in Fidiobia rugosifrons) and in the sculpture of the lateral pronotal area (entirely sculptured in F. rugosifrons and sculptured only in the dorsal half in F. rugosifronsoides).</p> <p>Comments.</p> <p>In our material we found this species in Europe in Estonia (here, it is sympatric with F. rugosifrons), Finland and Sweden and in Asia in China and South Korea. Striation below the tegula and longitudinal sculpture below the mesofemoral depression are more evident in specimens from Europe than in the Asian material; the striae of T1 are longer and coarser in the European material; T1 and sometimes the proximal half of T2 is lighter, almost pale in the Asian material and brown in the European material; notauli are broader, and the distance between the medial margin of the notaulus near the transscutal articulation is greater in the European material than in the Asian material.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/36137C0644E65788B25E061929ADF9D6	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Veenakumari et al. (2019) transferred Isolia striatitergitis to Fidiobia. Popovici and Buhl (2010) described this species as F. gordoni, which we here recognize as a junior synonym of F. striatitergitis. Although Szabó’s material is represented by a single male and the material of Popovici and Buhl (2010) consists only of females, the main apomorphies of this species (reticulate-rugose mesoscutellar disc, substrigulate T2, metapleural carina posterodorsally prolonged into a strong tooth, lateral propodeal carina and metasomal depression with no foamy structure) are not sexually dimorphic. Therefore, we have confidence that these specimens are conspecific.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/B71DAFB3F95757ECAAD6433A54F4F72A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Varga O. (MT) (OPPC0162).</p> <p>Distribution.</p> <p>Austria (Kieffer 1926), Greece, Hungary, Norway, Slovakia, Ukraine (Fig. 322).</p> <p>Biology.</p> <p>This species was reportedly reared from Synergus gallaepomiformis Fonscolombe (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) on Quercus sp., Biorhiza pallida Olivier (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) on Quercus sp., and Aphelonyx cerricola Gir. (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) (Vlug 1995), but a direct connection among F. synergorum and these cynipids was not established through dissections. This species seems to prefer forested habitats rather than grassland. In Ukraine it was collected in beech and mixed forests and the most effective methods were the trunk mounted trap and Malaise trap.</p> <p>Diagnosis.</p> <p>Fidiobia synergorum is conspicuous because the body is strongly depressed dorsoventrally, the transepisternal line is straight and almost complete (Fig. 244), T1 is strongly transverse, almost rectangular and the median carina between the lateral propodeal carinae is absent (Fig. 295). Fidiobia synergorum may be confused with F. hispanica but can be easily separated from that species by the different number of antennomeres (nine in F. synergorum and ten in F. hispanica), transepisternal line (absent, or at most as a trace in F. hispanica) and by the median carina between the lateral propodeal carinae (present in F. hispanica).</p> <p>Comments.</p> <p>In most Fidiobia with a 9-merous antenna, T1 is trapezoidal, whereas a transverse and almost rectangular T1 is characteristic for species of Fidiobia with 10-merous antennae. The knob of the submarginal vein of the fore wing is visibly curved downward as in species of Acerotella Masner. Specimens belong to this species were observed with the 8-merous teratological antennae (symphysis - A3-A4) (Popovici and Buhl 2010). In the Palearctic region, a similarly depressed body can be found in Allotropa helenae (Kozlov).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/8016940D2D8E56A68EC02321B8573621	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The transepisternal line is nearly complete and sigmoid in shape. The dorsal mesopleural area has some transverse striae, and between these striae and the transepisternal line there is a large unsculptured area (in F. striatitergitis and F. nipponica this area is transversely striate). The dorsal metapleural area is covered with dense silvery setae that easily distinguish F. vladlubomiri from F. striatitergitis and F. nipponica. The papillary sensillum located at the apex of the distal clavomere (Fig. 277b) makes F. vladlubomiri unique among the known Palaearctic species of Fidiobia.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/2B28C147FECB5265BFCCA3C562E29831	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
