Description
(Female). Length of body
3.5 mm
, fore wing
3.8 mm
, ovipositor
3.3 mm
.
Head:
Antennae incomplete, with 30 segments remaining; scapus suboblique, dorsally longer than ventrally and 1.9 times as long as its apical width; pedicel 0.4 times as long as scapus; first flagellomere longer than pedicel, its apex ventrolateral rather flared, 1.3 times as long as wide; second flagellomere 1.2 times as long as first one, ventrolaterally slightly flared apically; third flagellomere not flared, 1.3 times longer than second one; face largely smooth and shiny, sparsely setose medially and densely setose laterally; malar suture deep; height of clypeus: distance intertentorial: distance tentorial ocular= 3: 8: 5; length of maxillary palp 0.6 times height of head; length of eye in dorsal view 1.1 times temple; temple smooth and densely setose; frons between antennal sockets and ocelli distinctly impressed; shortest distance between posterior ocelli: minimum diameter of posterior ocelli: minimum distance between posterior ocellus and eyes= 2: 4: 13.
Mesosoma:
Length of mesosoma 1.5 times its maximum height; pronotum and propleuron smooth; mesoscutum setose; notauli deep anteriorly, and shallow posteriorly, with sparse setae along its entirely length; scutellum flattened, densely pubescent; scutellar sulcus deep and moderately wide, crenulate; metanotum with distinct mediolongitudinal carina; propodeum sparsely setose, without midlongitudinal carina or furrow.
Wing:
Fore wing: length of veins r: 3SR: SR1 = 5: 10: 35; vein 1SR+M weakly curved; length of veins 2SR: 3SR: rm = 8: 10: 6; vein cua weakly postfurcal.
Hind
wing: length of veins SC+R: 1rm = 13: 7, vein 2SC+R longitudinal, short and about 0.3 times as long as vein 1rm.
Leg:
Length of femur, tibia and tarsus of fore leg = 19: 22: 33; length of femur, tibia and basitarsus of hind leg = 24: 39: 14, and 3.3, 7.8 and 4.4 times their maximum width, respectively; tibia of hind leg without lateral furrow.
Metasoma:
Metasomal tergites smooth. First metasomal tergite slightly narrowed apically, largely smooth and shiny, and with strongly raised carina medially and areolate laterally, 1.2 times as long as its apical width; second metasomal tergite smooth except for a striolate mediobasal area, with lateral diverging grooves and raised carina sublateraly; the suture between second and third metasomal tergites narrow, curved medially, deep and weakly crenulate; remainder of metasomal tergites smooth and sparsely setose, without anterolateral carina or grooves; hypopygium rounded apically, not protruding beyond the apex of apical metasomal tergite; length of ovipositor 1.1 times length of metasoma, and 0.8 times fore wing.
Color:
Body largely yellowishbrown but head yellowish.
Diagnostic characters
: This species is similar to
Coeloides abdominalis
(Zetterstedt)
, but can be separated from the latter by the combination of the following characters: the rounded temple, the weakly curved vein 1SR+M, the postfurcal vein cua of fore wing, the reddish yellow mesosoma and metasoma, and the second metasomal tergite without lateral raised areas.
Biology
: Unknown.
Etymology
: From Changbai, referring to the location of
type
specimen.
