Alaptus plih
sp. n.
♀ (holotype). 130, antenna; 131, body; 132, fore and hind wings; 133, slide.
Antenna (
Fig. 130
) shorter than body; scape (including radicle) 5.2× as long as wide, almost smooth; F1 shorter than pedicel and the shortest funicle segment, F2 the longest funicle segment and about 4× as long as wide, F3–F5 subequal in length, F4 and F5 the widest funicle segments; clava 3.8× as long as wide, apparently with 4 mps, as long as combined length of F3–F5.
Fore wing (
Fig. 132
) 9.3× as long as wide; disc slightly infumate and bare except the admarginal rows; longest marginal seta 4.0× maximum wing width. Hind wing (
Fig. 132
) about 17× as long as wide; disc a little more strongly infumate, with 1 row of setae closer to posterior margin; longest marginal seta 6.2× maximum wing width.
Gaster (
Fig. 131
) longer than mesosoma. Ovipositor short, not exserted beyond apex of gaster, occupying about 0.4× its length, and a little more than 0.6× length of metatibia.
Measurements of the
holotype
(µm). Body 466; head 112; mesosoma 173; gaster 215; ovipositor 188. Antenna: scape (including radicle) 79; pedicel 42; F1 30; F2 39; F3 33; F4 33; F5 33; clava 106. Fore wing 427:46; longest marginal seta 182. Hind wing 421:25; longest marginal seta 155.
Variation (
paratype
). Body length 488 µm; fore wing 9.1× as long as wide, longest marginal seta 4.1× maximum wing width; hind wing about 18× as long as wide, longest marginal seta 6.6× maximum wing width; ovipositor a little less than 0.7× length of metatibia.
MALE. Unknown.
Diagnosis.
Alaptus plih
is most similar to
A. pallidicornis
and
A.
sp. near
pallidicornis
, from which it differs in the consistent body color patterns, as indicated in the key.
Etymology.
The species name is a noun in apposition and a combination of letters without any meaning.
Hosts.
Unknown.
