LSID: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:79A30209-7D6E-4BAE-BA8B-31F7F 457D301 Etymology. The species is named after the Latin adjective viriosus (meaning, “strong”). Material. Holotype : female . No. CNU-HYM-MA2015109 . Diagnosis. Female of Hybristodryinus with occipital carina complete; antenna very slender, more than six times as long as head, reaching about second segment of metasoma; first flagellomere 19 times as long as broad; maxillary palpus very slender, with palpomere 4 about 20 times as long as broad. Type locality and horiz on. The amber specimen was collected from Kachin ( Hukawng Valley ) of northern Myanmar , which was dated at 98.79 ± 0.62 Ma, earliest Cenomanian ( Cruikshank and Ko, 2003 ; Shi et al., 2012 ).

Epicnemium present. Mesoscutum smooth, slightly shorter than pronotum (38:43). Notauli almost reaching posterior margin of mesoscutum ( Fig. 2D ); minimum distance between notauli slightly shorter than POL (10:13). Mesoscutellum with sculpture indistinct, shorter than mesoscutum (17:38). Metanotum shorter than scutellum (9:17), with sculpture indistinct. Metapectal-propodeal complex shorter than mesoscutum (30:38), reticulate rugose, areolae very wide, disc with posterior corners strongly projected posteriorly ( Figs. 1B , 2A ); propodeal declivity shorter than disc of metapectal-propodeal complex (10:20), indistinct, because hidden behind disc. Fore leg ratio: 38 (coxa): 41 (trochanter): 60 (femur): 70 (tibia): 38 (tarsomere 1): 5 (tarsomere 2): 8 (tarsomere 3): 40 (tarsomere 4): 51 (tarsomere 5); enlarged claw shorter than protarsomere 5 (37:51) ( Figs. 1A, 1C , 3A, 3B, 3C ). Protrochanter very slender and long, with long and slender proximal stalk, broadened after half-way; protrochanter about 13 times as long as broad (41:3.2); protarsomere 3 produced into hook; rudimentary claw present, much shorter than enlarged claw (7:37); arolium much shorter than enlarged claw (6:37); enlarged claw with distal apex sharp, with two subapical teeth and one row of small lamellae (number of lamellae not distinct). Protarsomere 5 with two rows composed of many lamellae, one row formed by longer lamellae (number of lamellae indistinct); distal apex with group of lamellae (number of lamellae indistinct). Mid leg ratio ( Figs. 1A, 1C , 2A ): 28 (coxa): 30 (trochanter): 56 (femur): 56 (tibia): 40 (tarsomere 1): 17 (tarsomere 2): 11 (tarsomere 3): 7 (tarsomere 4): 10 (tarsomere 5). Mesotrochanter short and broad, less than three times as long as broad: 15:6. Hind leg ratio ( Figs.1A, 1C , 2A ): 44 (coxa): 13 (trochanter): 67 (femur): 50 (tibia): 46 (tarsomere 1): 24 (tarsomere 2): 16 (tarsomere 3): 9 (tarsomere 4): 16 (tarsomere 5). Fig. 1.

Forewing hyaline, not darkened, with the usual venation of Dryininae ( Figs. 3D, E ); pterostigma much longer than broad (40:6), metacarp (PostabR1) shorter than pterostigma (25:40); marginal cell 2R1 open; stigmal veins (2r-rs & Rs) with distal part (Rs) much longer than proximal part (2r-rs) (39:21). The spurious vein of secondary nature that runs anterior of the claval furrow between cu-a and end of the 3-Cu. Forewing with usual three basal cells (costal (C), radial (R) and first cubital (1Cu)) clearly enclosed by pigmented veins. Hind wing not distinct. Metasomal petiole very short, much shorter than rest of metasoma (7:145). Metasoma slightly longer than mesosoma (145:140). Tibial spur formula 1/1/2. Male. Unknown. Host. Unknown. Remarks . Because protrochanter is about 13 times as long as broad and the disc of pronotum is not excised medially, the new species is similar to Hybristodryinus mon Perkovsky et al. (2019) . The main difference between the new species and H. mon is that POL is much longer than OPL in H. viriosus and about as long as OPL in H. mon . Based on the description of Hybristodryinus viriosus sp. nov. , the keys to the females of Hybristodryinus from Myanmar amber published by Perkovsky et al. (2019) , Tribull et al. (2020) and Olmi et al., 2021 , must be modified by replacing couplet 7 as follows: 7.
