Genus
Okinawasega Terayama
Okinawasega
Terayama, 1999: 99. Type species:
Okinawasega eguchii
Terayama, 1999, original designation.
Diagnosis.
General characters of
Okinawasega
are similar to those of
Baeosega
and
Nipponosega
; however, there are some distinctive differences, e.g., the deep malar sulcus in the female, the elongated linear R1 in the male. For more details, see the diagnosis of
Baeosega
.
Description.
Female.
Clypeal apex not thickened; malar sulcus present (Fig.
10D
); scapal basin shallow, cross-ridged, median longitudinal carina present; occipital carina absent but posterior margin of vertex forming distinct corner behind ocellar triangle; eye setose; flagellum fusiform, intermediate segments broader than long, and with ventral surface flattened. Mesosoma slender, punctate by dense punctures; pronotum with median groove and shallow pit before lateral lobe, as long as combined length of mesoscutum, mesoscutellum and metanotum; mesoscutum with notauli and without parapsides; posterolateral corner of mesoscutum not lobate; micropterous (Fig.
2C
), forewing pads extending to posterior margin of mesoscutellum; mesopleuron with omaulus, without scrobal sulcus; metanotum triangular and small, slightly shorter than mesoscutellum; propodeum with long dorsal surface and a pair of recumbent teeth present, almost meeting together, dorsal posterolateral angles bluntly angulate, lateral and posterior surfaces abruptly declivous. Hind coxa with dorsobasal carina; tarsal claws without inner tooth. Metasoma smooth.

Male.
Clypeal apex not thickened; scapal basin flat or weakly excavated, cross-ridged; malar sulcus present; occipital carina absent but posterior corner of vertex forming distinct corner behind ocellar triangle, occasionally trace of occipital carina present on upper gena; eye setose; antenna elongate, F3 3.5-4.3
x
longer than wide. Mesosoma slender, dorsum punctate by dense punctures; pronotum with median groove and shallow pit before lateral lobe; pronotum as long as mesoscutum, 2/3 of combined length of mesoscutum, mesoscutellum; mesoscutum with notauli; parapsidal line faintly indicated; mesopleuron without omaulus and scrobal sulcus; metanotum approximately half mesoscutellum (Fig.
11E
); a pair of recumbent teeth present, meeting or almost meeting together; propodeum with dorsal posterolateral angles bluntly angulate, posterior surface abruptly declivous; fully winged (Fig.
2D
), pterostigma normal, with linear extension of R1 indicated, long (Fig.
11D
, arrow); Rs extended by weakly curved dark streak; medial vein arising before cu-a. Hind coxa with dorsobasal carina; tarsal claws without inner tooth. Metasoma sparsely punctate with smooth interspaces.

Distribution.
Oriental region: Japan (Yaeyama Islands, southern Ryukyus).
Hosts.
Unknown.
Remarks.
The previous record of
Baeosega
in southern Ryukyus (
Kimsey 1995
) should probably be attributed to
Okinawasega
.
