Entedonomphale esenini
sp. n.
Figs 17, 18
Etymology: This species is named after Russian poet Sergei A. Esenin.
Diagnosis: This species is defined based on the unique combination of the following morphological features: funicle segments of female antenna subequal and about as long as wide, each with several sensilla; midlobe of mesoscutum with 1 pair of setae; forewing disc hyaline, more or less evenly setose in the apical half (setae moderately long), bare in the basal half.
Description: Female (
holotype
). Body brown, appendages mostly light brown.
Vertexal suture distinct, angulate. Antenna (
Fig. 17
) with scape slender, about 4.0 x as long as wide; F1 and F2 subequal, about as long as wide and each with several sensilla; clava small, a little longer than funicle, about 1.9 x as long as wide, with several sensilla.
Figs 17, 18.
Entedonomphale esenini
sp. n.
, female (holotype): (17) antenna, (18) forewing. Scale lines = 0.1 mm.
Mesosoma a little shorter than metasoma, smooth. Midlobe of mesoscutum with 1 pair of setae; anterior margin of scutellum angulate. Forewing (
Fig. 18
) about 3.0 x as long as wide; longest marginal setae 0.45 x maximal forewing width; disc hyaline, more or less evenly setose in apical half of forewing (setae moderately long), bare in basal half. Hind wing about 6.0 x as long as wide; disc hyaline and with a few scattered setae; longest marginal setae almost equal to hind wing width. Hind coxa smooth.
Petiole conspicuous, almost as wide as long. Ovipositor occupying about 1/2 length of gaster, not exserted; ovipositor length/metatibia length ratio about 1.1:1.
Measurements (n=1,
