Dilyta subclavata
is mainly characterized by: a completely open radial cell, 1.8 × longer than wide (
Fig. 9B
); pronotum and propodeal carinae present; apex of scutellum with ∩-shaped carina; female antenna with rhinaria beginning from F6, F1 slightly shorter or subequal to pedicel, F2 subequal to F3, F4 longer than F3 (
Fig. 10B
); male antenna with rhinaria beginning from F4, F1 slightly longer than pedicel, sometimes slightly arched, F2 shorter than F1 and F3, F3 shorter than F1, F1 subequal to F4. This species is easily differentiated from the other
Dilyta
species by the punctuation present on the distal part of its metasoma, F1 slightly shorter or subequal to pedicel, F2 subequal to F3, and F4 longer than F3 (
Fig. 10B
).
