Type species.
Agathigma templei
Sharkey, sp. n.
Etymology.
Aga (from
Agathis
); thigma is Greek for touch, here used as a reference to the reduced 2-segmented palpi. Feminine.
Diagnosis.
Body except for fore and mid legs black, hind leg entirely black. Fore wing slightly infuscate in distal half. Antennal sockets not margined with carinae. Interantennal space with a flat triangular elevation that narrows to a short ridge posteriorly approaching the median ocellus. Temple squared in dorsal view. Labial palpus reduced to 2 segments; presumably palpomere 3 is one of the two lost palpomeres. Notauli depressed and partly or entirely pitted. Scutellar triangle smooth with weak sparse punctures. Ventral margin of hind coxal cavities situated below dorsal margin of metasomal foramen. Pegs on anterior surface of fore tibia absent. Hind trochantellus lacking longitudinal carinae. Second submarginal cell of fore wing minute, cell about the same diameter as wing veins. First median tergite almost entirely irregularly striate, lateral longitudinal carina prominent. Second median tergite slightly wider than long and entirely smooth with hints of short striae and some very weak coriarious microsculpture.
Distribution and diversity.
Known only from the type specimen collected in Mae Wong National Park, Thailand.
