Figures 17 , 18 Material examined. Holotype : ♀ , China , Hainan Prov. , Jianfengling , 29.IV.1983 , Gu Maobin, No. IOZ(E)1964612 (IZCAS). Diagnosis. This new species is very similar to I. baltazarae Quicke & Butcher, 2010 [Philippines], but can be separated from the latter by the following characters: scape blackish brown with a reversed U-shaped yellow spot dorsally (yellow with black lateral streak in I. baltazarae ); second submarginal cell of fore wing relatively short, vein 2-M 2.8 x as long as vein 2-SR (3.45 x vein 2-SR); fore wing vein cu-a distinctly curved and postfurcal (straight and interstitial); base of hind wing with rather narrow glabrous areas on either side of vein cu-a (hind wing subbasal cell glabrous on posterior half and with large glabrous area distal to vein cu-a); hind femur yellow, without black mark (hind femur black ventro-distally). Figure 17. Ischnobracon guttatus sp. nov., ♀, holotype, habitus, lateral view. Description. Holotype, ♀, length of body 14.8 mm, of fore wing 12.0 mm, of ovipositor sheath 9.0 mm. Head . Antenna incomplete, with 88 antennomeres remaining; median antennomeres 1.6 x wider than their length; third antennomere 1.1 and 1.2 x longer than fourth and fifth respectively, the latter being 1.4 x wider than its length; scapus 1.5 x longer than its apical width (Fig. 18j ); tentorio-ocular distance: inter-tentorial distance: distance between clypeus and antennal sockets = 7: 9: 14; shortest distance between eyes: head width: eye height = 18: 35: 17; shortest distance between posterior ocelli: shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye: width of head behind eyes (occiput) = 4: 9: 34; occiput with sparse setae medially, and with dense long setae laterally (Fig. 18h ).

Mesosoma . Length of mesosoma twice its height (Fig. 18c ); notauli only impressed on anterior third of mesoscutum (Fig. 18d ). Wings . Fore wing (Fig. 18a ): r: SR1: 3-SR = 8: 17: 19; 1-SR+M more or less straight; 2-SR: 3-SR: r-m = 8: 17: 8; 2-M 2.8 x longer than 2-SR; cu-a strongly curved and postfurcal. Hind wing (Fig. 18b ): base with a rather narrow glabrous area distal to cu-a; 2-SC+R distinctly transverse; 1r-m 1.9 x longer than SC+R1. Legs . Length of fore femur: tibia: tarsus = 24: 27: 38; fore basitarsus 4.2 x longer than its maximum width; fore tarsus ventro-apically with rather dense and long setae; length of hind femur: tibia: basitarsus = 33: 48: 16; length of femur, tibia and basitarsus of hind leg 3.9, 8.0 and 4.0 x their maximum width, respectively (Fig. 18f ). Metasoma . Metasomal tergites smooth (Fig. 18e ); length of T I 1.6 x its apical width, raised median area not depressed medially (Fig. 18e ); median length of T II 1.1 x its apical width; antero-lateral areas of T III large, apical width of T III 1.2 x its median length (Fig. 18e ); tergites with dense and long setae especially posteriorly except for the raised areas (Fig. 18e ); ovipositor sheath 0.7 x as long as fore wing. Colour . Largely yellow (Fig. 17 ); eye, mandible apically, metanotum and propodeum blackish brown (Fig. 18d, g ); antenna blackish brown, becoming yellow towards apex (Fig. 17 ); scapus with a reverse yellow U-shaped spot dorsally (Fig. 18k ); around stemmaticum with a drop-shaped black spot (Fig. 18h ); ovipositor sheath black (Fig. 17 ); wing membrane largely yellow but smoky grey apically; stigmal spot brown; marginal cell with a small brown spot anteriorly; pterostigma yellow; veins largely yellow (Fig. 18a, b ). Biology. Unknown. Distribution. China (Hainan). Etymology. Named after the surrounded area of stemmaticum with a drop-shaped black spot: guttatus is Latin for drop-shaped.
