Zosteragathis perknos Sharkey
sp. n.
Diagnosis.
Fore wing clear basally, infuscate in apical half; T2 much narrower basally than apically; close to
Z. nigrolineatus
(Achterberg & Long, 2010), but differing in the dimensions of T2.
Description.
Body length 6.2 mm. Ovipositor length/body length ratio = 0.8. Interantennal space with a flat triangular elevation that narrows to a short ridge posteriorly and then divides into two short indistinct carinae that approach the median ocellus. Antenna with 35 flagellomeres. Third labial (penultimate) palpomere small, 1/3 as long as apical palpomere. Scutellar groove with 3 longitudinal ridg es. Fore tibia lacking thickened spines; mid tibia with 4 pegs; hind tibia with 8 pegs.
Etymology.
Perknos
is Greek for dusky; here it is a reference to the dark color of the base of the hind tibia.
