Goetheana is distinguished from other entedonine genera by the characteristic habitus of individuals ( Fig. 1 ), in particular the narrow fore wing with a rather long fringe of marginal setae in combination with the mesoscutal midlobe lacking setae, the metasomal petiole being extremely short, the genitalia of both sexes being rather minute (the ovipositor occupying not more than 1/3 the length of the metasoma), the head with a complete and straight suture extending across the vertex and behind the posterior ocelli, the reduced mandibles lacking teeth, and the flagellum with a minute F1 and a larger F2 tightly attached to a 3-segmented club ( Fig. 3 A). Species are parasitoids of thrips, in particular of the family Thripidae ( Triapitsyn 2005 ) .
