Description.
Female body length: 2.55–2.75 mm (n=18). Male body length: 2.53–2.69 mm (n=11).
Head: Vertex between posterior ocelli: rounded. Female OOL: more than one ocellar diameter. Frontal sculpture: entirely and evenly sculptured. Sculpture of central frons: reticulate punctate. Setation of central frons: moderately setose throughout. Inner orbit in frontal view: more or 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: with reticulate to coriaceous microsculpture. Setation of gena: moderately 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: 1-2-2-2-2-1. Claval color: dark brown to black.
Mesosoma: Pronotal cervical sulcus: absent. Mesoscutum sculpture: reticulate. Longitudinal sculpture in posterior half of mesoscutum: absent. Admedian line: present. Mesoscutal humeral sulcus: very coarsely foveolate. Notauli: present, indicated by short groove on posterior mesonotum. Mesoscutellum shape: rounded. Sculpture of mesoscutellum: almost entirely covered by microsculpture. Length of medial metascutellar spine: medial spine short to moderately long, as long as distance between median 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, foveate throughout. Area 2 on metapleuron: linear, glabrous. Setation of area 4 of metapleuron: glabrous. Setation in anteroventral metapleural triangle: absent. Setation of propodeum anterior to spiracle: sparsely setose (less than 10) or absent. Legs: Coxae color: all coxae brown to black.
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: shallowly longitudinal rugulose and reticulate.
Diagnosis.
Fusicornia aulacis
is unique in the genus in the possession of short, but distinct notauli (
