Zosteragathis eukos Sharkey
sp. n.
Etymology.
Eukos
is Greek for milky white; here it is a reference to the color of the base of the hind tibia.
Diagnosis.
T2 almost entirely melanic and longer than wide; fore wing lacking infuscate patch posterior to stigma; similar to
Z. annuliferus
(
Achterberg and Long 2010
) but dimensions of T1 and T2 differ.
Description.
Body length 4.9 mm. Ovipositor length/body length ratio = 0.8. Interantennal space with a flat triangular elevation that narrows to a short ridge posteriorly and then divides into two short indistinct carinae that approach the median ocellus. Antenna with 32 flagellomeres. Third labial (penultimate) palpomere minute, barely visible and much smaller than apical palpomere. Scutellar groove with 3 longitudinal ridges. Fore tibia lacking thickened spines; mid tibia with 3 pegs; hind tibia with 10 pegs.
