Horismenus multistriatus
sp. nov.

,

.
Diagnosis
. Antennal scrobes join below frontal suture (
Fig. 30
); female flagellomeres long and slender (
Fig. 24
), e.g. 1
st
flagellomere 3.3× as long as wide; forewing speculum open below; scutellum convex (
Fig. 32
); propodeum with anterolateral foveae predominantly smooth (
Fig. 39
); female gaster with first tergite with elongate punctures (
Fig. 42
), reaching over posterior ¾ of tergite. Similar to
H. butcheri
but differs in having anterolateral foveae on propodeum predominantly smooth (
Fig. 39
), and first gastral tergite with elongate punctures in posterior ¾ (
Fig. 42
).

Antenna as in

. Frons with interscrobal and clypeal area smooth, part just above frontal suture with raised and weak reticulation, remaining parts with raised and strong reticulation; frontal suture V-shaped, incomplete not reaching eyes; antennal scrobes join below frontal suture. Vertex with engraved and strong reticulation; with a median groove in posterior part, groove continues down on occiput. Occipital margin rounded.

; 43, body lateral, female; 44, mesosoma dorsal, female; 45, mesosoma dorsal, male; 46, antenna lateral, female; 47, antenna lateral, male.
Mesoscutum with raised and strong reticulation; notauli as narrow and distinct grooves medially. Scutellum with engraved and strong reticulation. Dorsellum smooth, anterolaterally with two large foveae. Coxae very weakly reticulate and shiny. Propodeum, including anterolateral foveae smooth and shiny, posterolateral parts and submedian grooves reticulate; propodeal callus with two setae. Forewing speculum open below; with 17–18 admarginal setae.
Gaster with first tergite smooth and shiny in anterior ⅓, posterior ¾ with elongate punctures.

H. missouriensis
(Ashmead)
; 48, body lateral, female; 49, mesosoma dorsal, female; 50, antenna lateral, female; 51, antenna lateral, male. 52–55.
H. stator
sp. nov.
; 52, body lateral, female; 53, mesosoma dorsal, female; 54, antenna lateral, female; 55, antenna lateral, male.
Etymology
. From the Latin
multus
= much, and
stria
= furrow, referring to the elongate punctures on 1
st
gastral tergite in female.
Molecular data
.
Horismenus multistriatus
equals “HB1” in
Kenyon
et al.
(2015)
and molecular data associated with “HB1” is accounted for in that paper.
