Type
species:
Pseudocyanopterus raddeivorus
sp. nov.
Diagnosis
. Scapus comparatively small (compared to pedicellus) and truncate apically (
Fig. 7E
); vein 1r-m of hind wing approx. twice as long as vein 2-SC+R; angle of vein 1-SR with vein C+SC+R approx. 80°; vein cu-a of fore wing interstitial; vein CU1b rather reclivous (
Fig. 8D
); vein SR1 3.0 × vein 3-SR; vein 2-SR of fore wing as long as vein 3-SR; marginal cell of fore wing nearly reaching wing apex; second submarginal cell parallel-sided; vein 1-SR+M of fore wing straight; vein 1-M 1.5 × as long as vein m-cu; surroundings of vein cu-a of hind wing densely setose; tarsal claws without distinct lobe; medio-basal depression of 1
st
tergite deep and elongate; 2
nd
tergite with antero-lateral and medio-basal areas shorter than half length of tergite and with posteriorly weakly converging and wide sublateral grooves; second suture deep and coarsely crenulate (
Fig. 7H
); maximum width of 3
rd
tergite approx. 2.3 × its median length (without 2
nd
metasomal suture); 3
rd
and 4
th
tergite with crenulate antero-lateral grooves; ovipositor narrow but apically widened and with minute teeth, its upper valve convex dorsally (
Fig. 8E
).
Runs in existing keys (e.g. Belokobylskij 2000) to
Cyanopterus
Haliday
, but differs by having the ovipositor apically widened, vein 2-SR fore wing as long as vein 3-SR, maximum width of 3
rd
tergite approx. 2.3 × its median length (without 2
nd
metasomal suture; at least 2.6 × its median length in
Cyanopterus
) and scapus truncate apically in lateral view.
Distribution
. Palaearctic
China
(
Liaoning
), one species.
Biology
. Parasitoid of
Cerambycidae (Coleoptera)
.
Etymology.
Named after “Pseudes” (Greek for “false”) and the generic name
Cyanopterus
, because of its superficial similarity to
Cyanopterus
Haliday. Gender
: masculine.
