Diagnosis
This species differs from the other two members of
Metopheltes
by the following combination of character states: first flagellomere longer (6.0 times as long as wide) than in other species; ventrally clypeus not serrate; posterior ocellus separated from eye by 1.7 times its maximum diameter; frontal carina between eye and antennal socket absent; upper hind part of mesopleuron punctate; apical margin of middle tibia with distinct tooth similar to that on fore tibia; posterior hind tibial spur at least 6.0 times longer than maximum basal width; hind femur and tibia 10.0 and 11.0 times as long as wide, respectively; tarsal claws long and pectinate with long teeth (Fig. 5c); propodeum acclivous (Fig. 5c), not precipitous like in
Metopheltes clypeoarmatus
sp. n. (Fig. 2a), its carinae incomplete, only area apicalis defined (Fig. 5b); first metasomal tergite 0.6 times wider than long; ovipositor with shallow notch and weak nodus.
Distribution
