Microgaster bumbana
de Saeger, 1942. Original description (
de Saeger 1942
: 332).
Holotype.
Female, Democratic Republic of the Congo, RMCA (Musee Royal de
l'Afrique
Centrale, Tervuren, Belgium). Not examined, but original description checked.
Diagnosis.
Y. bumbana
can be separate from all known species of
Ypsilonigaster
(except for
Y. pteroloba
) based on its darker body color (red-yellow) and infumated wings (all other species are mostly yellow or white-yellow, or have body with striking contrast of four different colors between areas, and all have hyaline wings).
Y. bumbana
can in turn be differentiated from
Y. pteroloba
because it has a mostly red-yellow body color, a less constricted T1 and the fore wing veins r and 2RS join in a more acute angle (compare Figs
40A, B
with Figs
42A, B
).
