Description.
Female
(
holotype
). Head black, rest of body (
Fig. 8A
) brown (mesosoma and petiole) to dark brown (gaster); appendages mostly brown to dark brown except 2 basal tarsomeres of hind leg light brown. Head (
Fig. 8C
) with reticulate sculpture; mandible 3-dentate. Antenna (
Fig. 9A
). Scape with a faint, inconspicuous sculpture, 4.6 times as long as wide (excluding a very short radicle); pedicel longer than any funicular segment; F2 and F3 the shortest and F4 the longest among funicular segments; mps on F4–F6 (apparently 2 on each); clava 2.3 times as long as wide, with 7 mps. Mesosoma (
Fig. 9B
) reticulate. Mesoscutum a little shorter than scutellum. Fore wing (
Fig. 9E
) almost 3.9 times as long as wide; venation extending to 0.46 of total wing length; longest marginal seta 0.74 times maximum width of wing; disc strongly infuscate (with brown) and densely setose. Hind wing (
Fig. 9E
) 16.5 times as long as wide; disc infuscate, longest marginal seta 3.6 times maximum width of wing. All coxae with reticulate sculpture, metafemur with a less conspicuous sculpture. Petiole (
Figs 9C, D
) reticulate, 1.5 times as long as wide, shorter than metacoxa. Ovipositor occupying 0.8 length of gaster (
Fig. 9D
), notably exserted beyond its apex (by 0.17 times own total length), 1.75 times length of mesotibia and 1.3 times length of metatibia.
Measurements of the
holotype
(mm). Body (of the air-dried [straight after being collected in a net], pointmounted specimen prior to slide-mounting): 0.860; head (of the air-dried, point-mounted specimen prior to slide -mounting): 0.132; mesosoma 0.330; mesoscutum: 0.090; scutellum: 0.103; petiole 0.070; gaster 0.478; ovipositor 0.452.Antenna: radicle 0.018; rest of scape 0.140; pedicel 0.060; F1 0.027; F2 0.024; F3 0.024; F4 0.040; F5 0.035; F6 0.036; clava 0.173. Fore wing 0.935: 0.242; venation 0.430; longest marginal seta 0.180. Hind wing 0.695: 0.042; longest marginal seta 0.151. Mesotibia: 0.258; metatibia: 0.351.

Diagnosis.
The new taxon, which belongs to the nominotypical subgenus of
Eustochus
as defined here, differs from all other described
Eustochus
species
keyed in Hඎൻൾ*© & Bൺඊඎൾ*©ඈ (2007) in having an entire clava of the female antenna. Female of
E. koponeni
differs from that of
Eustochus
(
Caraphractus
)
cinctus
(Walker, 1846)
,
comb. nov.
, which also has an entire clava, in having F1–F3 distinctly shorter than F4–F6, each of which also with mps (
Fig. 9A
); in the latter, funicle segments are subequal in length and all lack mps (T*©ංൺඉංඍඌඒඇ 2012: 22,g fi. 1).
Eustochus
(
Eustochus
)
koponeni
is most similar to apparently an undescribed species from
Finland
, known from a single female (
Fig. 10A
) in VVCT (
Ta
: Janakkala, Raimansuo (6760:3367),
27.vii.2017
, V. Vikberg), which was also collected at a bog. Its clava is also entire, but this
Eustochus
(
Eustochus
)
sp. differs from that of
E. koponeni
in the following combination of features: antenna (
Fig. 11A
) with scape (minus radicle) 3.2 times as long as wide; fore wing (
Fig. 11E
) 3.3 times as long as wide and its longest marginal seta 0.5 times maximum wing width, hind wing (
Fig. 11E
) 17.8 times as long as wide; petiole (
Fig. 11B
) 1.8 times as long as wide; ovipositor short, occupying a little more than 0.5 length of gaster, and just barely exserted beyond apex of gaster (
Fig. 11D
), 1.5 times length of mesotibia and 0.95 times length of metatibia. It is not described here as a new taxon because its single available specimen has just one antenna (
Figs 10A
,
11A
), and also because we do not know the full range of variability of these features in
E.
(
Eustochus
)
koponeni
. Body and head lengths of this
Eustochus
(
Eustochus
)
sp., measured prior to slide-mounting, were
1.156 mm
and
0.165 mm
, respectively. Its body (
Fig. 10A
) and antenna are black, legs are dark brown to black except first 3 metatarsomeres are light brown, and fore wing (
Fig. 11E
) disc is notably infuscate. The antenna (
Fig. 11A
) has mps on F4–F6 and clava.Also illustrated here, to facilitate its recognition, are its head (
Fig. 10B
) and mesosoma (
Fig. 11C
).
