Revision of Archaeoteleia Masner (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea, Scelionidae) Author Early, John W. Author Masner, Lubomír Author Johnson, Norman F. text Zootaxa 2007 1655 1 48 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.179829 e0532cf8-5ab7-4eab-82e7-4fbc30389804 1175-5326 179829 Key to species of Archaeoteleia The New Zealand and South American species form two distinct groups. Those from New Zealand have the scutellar spines small, weak, or absent (e.g., Fig. 23 ); the pseudostigma is elongate and narrow, not triangular (e.g., Figs. 1 , 8, 20, 25); and the stigmal vein forms an angle of greater than 45° with the postmarginal vein. All known species are macropterous. In contrast, the Chilean species have well-developed scutellar spines that are very prominent in brachypterous forms ( Figs. 36 , 58 , 72 ); the pseudostigma is short, broad and triangular ( Figs. 31 , 39 , 61 ); and the stigmal vein forms an angle of less than 45° with the postmarginal vein. The species of these two groups are keyed out separately.
