(Figs 2–5) Material examined. Holotype : female, BRASIL ., SP-Pq. Est. de Intervales Base Barra Gde-Trilha da Anta , Armadilha Malaise Ponto T 10-13-XII.2000 M.T. Tavares e eq. Col. ( DCBU ). Diagnosis. Head in dorsal view with gena flat, not concave; genal tooth spatulate ( Fig.4 ); propodeum with anterior transverse carina centrally indented. Description. Female. Head. Head in dorsal view with gena behind eyes flat, not concave; occipital carina slightly raised; posterior ocellus separated from eye by 1.3× its own maximum diameter; postgenal process present, laterally distinct (gena with ventroposterior angle modified to form a conspicuous spatulate or ellipsoid tooth) ( Fig.4 ); antenna with 49 flagellomeres; flagellomere I 1.1× as long as flagellomeres II and III combined. Mesosoma. Mesosoma 3.4 mm ; mesoscutum smooth with sparse setiferous punctures; scutellum in profile strongly convex; propodeum with area basalis about 3.4× as long as broad; anterior transverse carina indented centrally, thus not forming a smooth arc from side to side; pleural carina present ( Fig.3 ); posterior transverse carina, centrally absent; lateral longitudinal carina anteriorly absent; area spiracularis enclosed, posteriorly and laterally, though mesally not separated from area externa; area lateralis rectangular and enclosed, about 2.5× as long as broad, with posterolateral corner at right angle close to lobe surrounding coxal insertion. Fore wing 7.8 mm long, hind wing 5.1 mm . Mesosoma equal to length of tergite I. Metasoma. Tergite I 3.3 mm ; metasoma with tergite I exceptionally slender, about as long as mesosoma from pronotal collar to posterior margin of propodeum. Ovipositor 3.4 mm , hind tibia 2.3 mm .; visible part of ovipositor 1.5× as long as posterior tibia. Coloration (Fig. 2). Head mostly yellow: apex of mandibles, frons, interocellar area and most of upper part of gena black; a median orange spot on the gena; ocelli yellow; antenna mostly black, scape yellow ventrally. Mesosoma mostly orange: pronotum anteriorly and a small spot posteriorly, scutellum and dorsellum yellow. Fore coxa, trochanter and trochantellus yellow; femur mostly yellow, outer side brown; tibia mostly yellow, brown in a dorsal ring on the base, and in part of the ventral face; tarsus infuscate (dark yellow or brown). Mid coxa mostly yellow with two brown weak stripes; trochanter mostly brown (the rest yellow); trochantellus yellow; femur mostly yellow, outer face (side) brown; midtibia similar in color to foretibia; tarsomere 1 mostly brown (the rest yellow); tarsomeres 2-4 mostly yellow with weak brown spots; tarsomere 5 brown. Hind coxa mostly brown, basally (on the dorsal side) and distally yellow; trochanter mostly dark brown, dorsal side distally yellow; trochantellus yellow; femur mostly dark orange, distally yellow; tibia mostly brown, dorsal side distally yellow; tarsi brown. Wings hyaline with pterostigma black. Metasoma mostly black, tergite I, yellow midway from the posterior margin and with a yellow triangular spot at the posterior margin; tergite II-V with similar triangular yellow spots; tergites VI-VII with yellow posterior strips and laterotergites VI-VIII partly yellow. Ovipositor sheaths black. Remarks. Grotea paulista sp. n. most closely resembles G. goianiense sp. n. and G. perplexa . The species can be separated as follows: genal tooth spatulate in G. paulista ( Fig. 4 ) and sharp in G. goianiense and gena forming a conspicuous tooth in G. paulista ( Fig. 4 ) but is inconspicuous in G. perplexa . As well, the anterior transverse carina is centrally indented in G. paulista and forms a smooth arc in G. perplexa ( Fig. 22 ). The color pattern between the three mentioned species (i.e. G. paulista sp. n. , G. goianiense sp. n. , and G. perplexa ) is also clearly different. Etymology. The name refers to the type locality: São Paulo , state of Brazil .
