Scale bars in millimeters. Description. Female body length: 1.69–1.81 mm (n=2). Male body length: unknown. Head: Vertex between posterior ocelli: rounded. Female OOL: more than one ocellar diameter. Frontal sculpture: at least partly smooth or considerably effaced. Sculpture of central frons: smooth or with shallowly impressed reticulate microsculpture. Setation of central frons: glabrous. Inner orbit in frontal view: more or 39. http://www.morphbank.net/?id=226362 40. http://www.morphbank.net/?id=226362 less parallel. Upper gena in dorsal view of female: expanded, convex, therefore in lateral view compound eye separated from posterior margin by gena. Sculpture of gena behind lower half of eye: smooth. Setation of gena: sparsely setose. Antenna: Radicle color: yellow to orange brown. Color of female A1: dark brown to black. Color of female funicle (A3–A6): dark brown. Claval formula: 1-2-2-2-2. Claval color: dark brown to black. Mesosoma: Pronotal cervical sulcus: absent. Mesoscutum sculpture: reticulate with superimposed punctures. Longitudinal sculpture in posterior half of mesoscutum: absent. Admedian line: absent. Mesoscutal humeral sulcus: foveolate. Notauli: absent. Mesoscutellum shape: rounded. Sculpture of mesoscutellum: with broad smooth area medially, reticulate punctate laterally. Length of medial metascutellar spine: medial spine short to moderately long, distinctly shorter than distance between medial and lateral spines. Length of lateral metascutellar spine: moderately elongate, length distinctly greater than width. Sculpture of propodeal nucha: strongly foveolate to longitudinally striate. Sculpture of suprahumeral area of pronotum: puncticulate. Sculpture in lower pronotum: reticulate to weakly rugulose. Netrion setation: sparsely setose to glabrous. Mesopleural carina: present dorsally, interrupted or absent ventrally. Mesepimeral sulcus: complete or briefly interrupted, foveate above, appearing as fold ventrally. Area 2 on metapleuron: polygonal, setose. Setation of area 4 of metapleuron: setose ventrally. Setation in anteroventral metapleural triangle: absent. Setation of propodeum anterior to spiracle: sparsely setose (less than 10) or absent. Legs: Coxae color: fore coxa brown, mid and hind coxa yellow. Wings: Female fore wing maculation: hyaline or with slight infuscation below marginal vein. Metasoma: Length of T1: less than or equal to one times width. Horn on T1 of female: absent, T1 longitudinally furrowed throughout length. Lateral setation of T1: sparsely to moderately setose (6–15/side). Medial sculpture on T3: smooth and shiny. Diagnosis. Fusicornia dissita is similar to F. speculum , F. fortuna , and F. tehrii in smooth sculpture of the central frons; it may be distinguished by the moderately elongate lateral metanotal spine and the brown fore coxa ( Figs. 50, 52 ). Etymology. The epithet dissita , Latin for remote or far, is a reference to the distance of the collecting locality, Vanuatu , from the distribution of the other species of the genus.
