Indratilla gynandromorpha
Lelej, 1993
, ♁, by original designation.
Diagnosis
. MALE. Apterous. Head 1.3 × wider than pronotum. Mandible with well developed preapical tooth on inner border and obtuse basal lobe outside beneath. Ocelli small, ratio POD:OOD 0.6. Clypeus weakly modified, with weakly elevated medial part and slightly emarginated anterior margin. Genal carina developed and ends anterad by obtuse tubercle, ratio of eye height to gena height (head in lateral aspect) 0.75 ×. Eyes weakly sinuate within, not reniform. Preoccipital carina dorsally well developed. Antenna unmodified, two apical flagellomeres dorsoventally compressed, ratio F1–3 2.4:2.4:2.3. Mesosoma elongated with rounded humeral angle, 2.5 × longer than minimal width. Tegula large, not touching propodeal spiracle. Scuto-scutellar suture visible, posterolateral scutal angle produced into small tooth, metanotum well visible, mesopleuron weakly convex. Metacoxa mesally carinate. T1 with well developed dorsal and anterior surfaces. T2 with slightly flattened disc and lateral felt lines. S1 with well-developed carina; S2 with basal weak medial, longitudinal carina, without any lateral felt lines. T7 slightly convex. S8 (hypopygium) semitransparent apically, with weakly rounded posterior margin. Genitalia with curved down gonostylus and short broad volsella, penial valves symmetrical, gonostylus ventro-basally with long setae, volsella with dense setae. FEMALE. Head width slightly larger than pronotal width. Eyes moderately large. Genal carina developed and joint with hypostomal carina, latter widened at this point. Prementun not tuberculate. F1 1.5 × F2. Mandible acuminates with two very weak preapical teeth, without inner subbasal tooth. Mesosoma elongated, 1.5 × longer than width between propodeal spiracles. Scutellar scale distinct. T1 short with distinct dorsal surface. Disc of T2 flattened even weakly invaginated, with lateral felt line. T6 with pygidial plate glabrous shiny, widened posterad and weakly carinated laterally in apical half and microsculptured in basal half.
