DIAGNOSIS.
Hedychridium loktionovi
sp. n.
is related to
H. proshchalykini
sp.
n., but can separated through body coloration, almost uniformly greenish to bronze,
including propodeum (
vs.
metallic red, with bluish contrasting matanotum and propodeum in
H. proshchalykini
sp. n.
); S2 black with large, defined red to greenish median spot (
vs.
S2 black with ill-limited greenish area); face punctuation with large punctures and weak cross-ridging, limited to the median part (
vs.
lower half of face with punctures interspersed with broad cross-ridging); punctuation on mesoscutellum contiguous, without transverse wrinkles; punctuation on metascutellum rugulose without longitudinal wrinkles; genitalia differently shaped
(
Figs. 14E, F
).
DESCRIPTION.
Female
. Body length 4.0–
4.5 mm
. Fore wing length 3.0–3.2
mm. OOL = 2.5 MOD; POL = 2.0 MOD; MS = 0.6 MOD; relative length of P: F1:
F2: F3 = 1: 1.3: 0.9: 0.8.
Head
. Vertex and front with deep, defined, contiguous and medium-sized punctures (0.3–0.5 MOD); face with punctures of the same size on upper scapal basin and along eye margin; scapal basin medially cross-ridged, only partially interspersed in punctures (
Fig. 11A
); face with deep and broad median sulcus connecting midocellus to clypeus. Punctuation on post-ocellar vertex smaller, irregular, denser,
without polished interspaces. Ocellar triangle isosceles.
Mesosoma
. Pronotum with irregularly sized, contiguous, coarse and rugulose punctures. Mesoscutum and mesoscutellum with smaller punctures, interspaces slightly rugulose or polished (
Fig. 11C
). Mesopleuron with large, coarse and contiguous punctures (
Fig. 11B
). Metascutellum with areolate punctures (
Fig. 11D
).
Propodeal teeth triangular, with angle pointing outside. Forewing basal vein two-
thirds as long as RS stub, gently arched.
Metasoma
. T1 and T2 with minute, scattered punctures, 1–4 PD apart (
Fig. 11E
),
T3 with denser punctures; T1 and T2 laterally with double punctuation. T3 posterior margin with very narrow brownish rim (
Fig. 11F
).
Coloration
. Frons and face green to bronze; broad median sulcus blue to blackish;
ocellar area, post-ocellar vertex and occipital area bluish; mesosoma green with coppery reflections; propodeum mostly unicolor, darker to bluish on the lower and posterior part; metasoma greenish, laterally coppery, dorsally with extensively black spot on T1 and T2; sterna black with large and defined greenish-coppery median spot. Scape and pedicel metallic green, flagellum black, Tegulae brown. Wings slightly infuscate.
Vestiture
. Head and mesosoma dorsally with dense, whitish, erect and long setae
(1.5 MOD); metasoma dorsally with sparser, appressed, shorter setae (1.0 MOD);
metasoma postero-laterally with long, erect whitish setae (2.0 MOD). Femura and tibiae with long, erect setae (> 1.5 MOD).
