(
holotype
is male), by original designation.
Diagnosis
. MALE. Head angulate behind the eyes. Mandible tridentate, deeply excised beneath with large subbasal tooth. Clypeus rather flattened with projecting midpart of anterior margin. Ocelli small, POD much less than OOD. Scape distinctly bicarinate beneath, flagellomeres not shortened, F1 1.5 × longer its width and slightly shorter than F2. Pronotum angulate. Notauli and parapsids developed in posterior half. Tegula slightly projected over mesoscuto-scutellar suture. Parascutal carina weak. Mesoscutellum simple. Mesopleuron beneath without precoxal ridge. Propodeum shortened, dorsum with two medial sharp tubercles bordered medial elongate cell. Metacoxa carinate inside. Wing shortened, slightly infuscated, stigmatic cell approximately equal to distance between base of stigmatic cell and origin of
RS
on vein
Sc
. T2 with long lateral felt lines, S2 without any trace of felt lines. T7 and S8 punctured throughout. Volsella slightly longer than penial valve, cuspis with tuft of short setae inside and ventral basal setae no longer than cuspis length. FEMALE. Fore tarsus without external comb of spines. Mandible slender bidentate. Clypeus with transverse lamellate carina and small medial basal tubercle. Genal carina weak and forming tubercle on hypostomal carina. F1 1.25 × longer than its maximum width. Mesosoma slightly divergent posterad, shortened, length equal its maximum width. Posterior propodeal slope abrupt. Scutellar scale well developed. Mid and hind tibia with two row of spines. T6 with shiny smooth medial part not carinated laterally but bordered by pale setae. T2 with posterior narrow fringe of pale setae widened medially, basally with or without medial patch of pale setae. T3 with band of pale setae.
Diversity and distribution
. Four species (one based on females only, two based on males only, and one known from both sexes) are recognized from
Oriental region
.
Remarks
.
Lelej (2005)
suggested that many undescribed species occur in
India
and
Sri Lanka
, so no keys have been produced for separating the members of
Karunaratnea
.
