sp. nov.
A, habitus; B, face; C, head and anterior mesosoma, dorsal view; D, head, lateral view; E, mesosoma, lateral view; F, fore wing; G, metasoma.
Body length
4.5 mm
, fore wing length
3.6 mm
and antenna length 5.0 mm.
Antenna with 37 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere strongly acuminate. Median flagellomeres 2.5 x longer than wide. Occipital carina broadly interrupted medio-dorsally, ventrally joining hypostomal carina. Mesopleuron largely aciculate becoming rugose anteriorly and dorsally, precocal sulcus moderately impressed with vertical striate-rugulose sculpture, speculum area shiny but entirely with indication of aciculate sculpture. Midlongitudinal propodeal carina complete but interrupted postmedially. Fore wing vein 2-CU1 1.25 x 1-CU1. Fore wing vein 3-SR 2.85 x vein r. Fore wing vein 2-SR+M 1.4 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 2.25 x vein 3-SR. Apex of hind tibia without comb of modified adpressed setae. Claws without conspicuous pecten. Basal lobes of 1
st
tergite hardly produced, weakly concave posteriorly. Midlongitudinal carina of 3
rd
tergite complete. Posterolateral margin of 4
th
metasomal tergite rather strongly emarginate.
Etymology. Name an anagram of ‘
bachma’
in reference to its relatively close relationship to that species.
