Malar sulcus simple. Malar space partially striate, striations extending one-half to two-thirds distance from ventral margin of malar space to base of compound eye. Malar protuberance smooth, elongate, extending beyond length of ventral margin of malar space. Clypeal protuberance elongate, overhanging anterior margin of clypeus. Tubercles of scutellar plate extremely reduced, hardly distinguishable. Dorsal surface of scutellar plate flat, smooth, setal bearing pits present surrounding midpit. Carina along posterior margin of scutellum absent; present, delicate, defining transition from dorsal surface of scutellum from posterior surface. Dorsal surface of scutellum smooth anteriorly, reticular/strigate posteriorly. Midpit of scutellar plate in posterior half of plate; plate small, revealing dorsal surface of scutellum when viewed dorsally. Mesopopleural setal patch absent. Mesopleuron entirely smooth; smooth anteriorly, striate along the postero-dorsal margin. Lateral aspect of pronotum anteriorly with some short setae, remainder glabrous. Marginal cell of forewing as deep as long. Metasoma of sub-equal in size to mesosoma in lateral view. Diagnosis . This species can be separated from all other Ganaspidium by the presence of reduced tubercles on the scutellar plate. This character requires careful observation because the tubercles are difficult to observe. In all other species of Ganaspidium , the paired tubercles are well developed and easily seen in profile (e.g. Fig. 1B). Etymology . Named in honor the doctors and staff of the Kolmac Clinic, Washington , DC. The gender is masculine. Link to distribution map. http://hol.osu.edu/map-full.html?id=253205 Material examined.
