( Figs. 3-4 ) Material examined. Holotype : ♀ , China , Yunnan , Baoshan , Gaoligongshan Nature Park ( 24º50′N , 98º46′E ), 10.V.2009 , Wang Manman, No. 200904546 ( ZJUH ). Description. Female. Length of body 2.6 mm , length of fore wing 2.6 mm . Body setosity. Body with long pubescence, entire head with long setae, pubescence on mesonotum sparser than on remainder of mesosoma. Head. Antennomeres 20; length of first flagellomere 1.7 × second flagellomere; length of first, second, penultimate and terminal flagellomere 4.4, 2.9, 1.75 and 3.3 × their width, respectively; length of maxillary palp subequal to height of head; OOL: diameter of posterior ocellus: POL = 11:4:3; frons smooth, with a shallow longitudinal groove in upper half; stemmaticum smooth; eyes with short sparse setae; length of eye in dorsal view 0.8 × temple; occiput concave; face transversely rugose; temple smooth; clypeus convex, slightly punctate; width of clypeus 2.5 × its medial height; tentorial pits large, distance between pits twice distance from pit to eye; malar suture absent, length of malar space 2.8 × basal width of mandible. Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.4 × its height; side of pronotum smooth dorsally, remainder coarsely reticulate; precoxal sulcus wide, with some long striae, reaching anterior edge of mesopleuron; notauli complete, wide and crenulate; mesoscutal lobes rather convex, densely pubescence; scutellar sulcus with median carina; scutellum reticulate, its lateral carina lamelliform; propodeal tubercles small, obtuse apically, lateral apical angle about 90°; surface of propodeum rugulose. Wings. Fore wing: parastigma small; length of pterostigma 3.75 × its maximum width; length of vein r 1.0 × width of pterostigma; vein r arising almost from middle of pterostigma; 1-CU1:2-CU1 = 6:7. Hind wing: 1r-m:1-M = 1:2; M+CU slightly short than 1-M; 2-1A present and short, branched down. Legs. Hind coxa coarsely rugose dorsally, with distinct dorsal carina; length of femur, tibia and basitarsus of hind leg 5.8, 11.4 and 10.0 × their width, respectively; fore tarsal claws missing. Metasoma. Length of first tergite 1.8 × its apical width, widened apically, longitudinally rugose, dorsal carinae distinct in basal 0.5; second tergite smooth; length of ovipositor sheath 0.17 × length of fore wing. Colour. Dark reddish-brown; head (dorsal and anterior), scape, palpi, tegulae, hind leg (except tibia) and ovipositor yellow; antenna yellow, gradually darkened towards apex; stemmaticum, pterostigma (basally paler), parastigma, veins, ovipositor sheath brown; edges of mesoscutum yellow, remainder of mesoscutum and scutellum reddish-brown, reddish-brown area on middle lobes remain separated from each other; dorsal side of pronotum yellow, remainder of pronotum, mesopleuron, propodeum and metasomal first tergite reddish-brown; second metasomal tergite and sternum yellow, remainder of metasomal tergites blackish; fore and middle legs light yellow; all basitarsi dark brown; wing membrane slightly infuscate. Male. Unknown. Biology. Unknown. Distribution. China ( Yunnan ). Etymology. The specific name refers to the yellow head and is derived from “ flavus ” (Latin for yellow) and “ caput ” (Latin for head). Notes. The new species differs from other species by having a yellow head, 20 antennomeres, length of basitarsus of hind leg 10.0 × its width, and length of vein r of fore wing almost equal to width of pterostigma.
