Revising Australian Pristomerus (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Cremastinae): species with a tooth on the hind femur Author Klopfstein, Seraina text Zootaxa 2016 4168 2 201 238 journal article 10.11646/zootaxa.4168.2.1 a5929f38-630d-4459-8655-9ab0e2befb26 1175-5326 375675 E6F947E4-EB7E-4452-B086-CCB83311E3C5 Pristomerus giraulti Townes, Townes and Gupta Figures 12 , 26 Pristomerus atriceps Girault Description. Fore wing length 4.1–5.6 mm ( holotype : 5.5 mm ). Antenna with 33–35 flagellomeres. Mesoscutum with only a few punctures along front margin and sometimes along notauli. Scutellum without punctures, all smooth and shining. Mesopleuron with strong and rather dense punctures, smooth in-between; below subtegular ridge smooth and with a few punctures and often with a few parallel, diagonal carinulae. Metapleuron with juxacoxal carina distinct on most of its length, although often weaker medially. Propodeal areas smooth with strong punctures to rugulose in part. Hind coxa coriaceous and matt, with weak punctures. Hind femur length to width ratio 3.5–3.6 in male and 3.2–3.7 in female, ventrally with a large tooth that is longer than width of hind tibia at mid length, and adjacent smaller teeth. Hind tibia 1.5–1.9 mm . Second tergite 1.9–2.0 × longer than wide at base, smooth and shining. Ovipositor 1.7–1.9 × as long as hind tibia. FIGURE 12. Specimen of Pristomerus giraulti Townes, Townes and Gupta. A. Habitus and ovipositor tip. B. Face. C. Mesoscutum and head from above. D. Head and mesosoma from lateral. E. Propodeum. F. Metasoma. Scale bars represent 1 mm (A) and 0.5 mm (B, C, D, E, F). Colouration. Antenna uniformly brown or black. Face black or dark brown, sometimes with orange inner eye margins and orange on malar space. Clypeus dark with apex orange. Back of head black or dark brown. Mesosoma including propodeum entirely orange. Hind femur orange, with apex yellow. Hind tibia orange-brown with base and apex broadly darkened, or mostly dark. Fore wing somewhat infuscate, brown. Tergites 1–4 or 5 orange, remainder black or dark brown with light, narrow hind margins, in male often with dark apex more expanded. Notes.
