The new genus is morphologically similar to Rhysipolis Haliday , but differs in the form of the second subdiscal (brachial) cell (widened medially or posteriorly), vein 1 cu-a (nervulus) anterfurcal and vein 2 CUb (parallel) arising distinctly before middle of distal margin of second subdiscal (brachial) cell.
Type species . Clinocentrus antefurcalis Granger, 1949 . Description. Head transverse ( Figs 17 , 28 ). Vertex smooth. Ocelli enlarged, arranged in triangle with base weakly larger than its sides or in almost equilateral triangle ( Figs 17 , 28 ). Occipital carina distinct, complete dorsally and ventrally, ventrally not joining with hypostomal carina and reaching lower margin of head capsule near mandible separate from hypostomal carina. Eyes glabrous, distinctly and widely emarginated opposite antennal sockets. Face convex, without pointed tooth between antennal sockets, without carina between antennal socket and eye ( Figs 4 , 18 ). Clypeal suture entirely distinct. Hypoclypeal depression mediumsized and subrounded. Malar suture absent. Mandible short, thick basally and strongly narrowed apically. Maxillary palp 6 -segmented; labial palp 4 -segmented, second labial segment thickened, third segment long. Scape without spine, its dorsal margin weakly longer than ventral margin (lateral view). First flagellomere approximately as long as second flagellomere or weakly longer. Apical flagellomere pointed distally and with distinct apical spine ( Figs 2 , 14 ). Mesosoma ( Figs 5, 6 , 19 , 30 ). Pronotum without pronope, its anterior flange wide. Propleuron with large posterodorsal flange. Notauli complete, deep anteriorly and shallow posteriorly. Mesoscutum mostly smooth, distinctly roundly elevated above pronotum. Scuto-scutellar suture distinct medially and fine or very fine laterally. Scutellar sulcus (prescutellar depression) deep and long, with high median carina; submedial carinae variable. Scutellum convex, without lateral carinae and subposterior depression. Metanotum long, with distinct dorsomedian carina. Epicnemial (prepectal) carina distinct and complete. Precoxal sulcus (sternaulus) long, narrow, weakly sinuate, more or less distinctly separated from median coxa. Metapleural flange short and wide, rounded apically. Propodeum with areas delineated by distinct carinae ( Figs 20 , 24 ). Wings ( Figs 9 , 23 ). Vein r-rs (radial) arising from or almost from middle of pterostigma. Parastigma long and distinctly separated from pterostigma. Marginal (radial) cell not shortened. Second submarginal (second radiomedial) cell long and narrowed towards apex. Vein m-cu (recurrent) distinctly antefurcal. Veins 1 -M (basal) and m-cu (recurrent) weakly divergent posteriorly or subparallel. Vein 1 cu-a (nervulus) distinctly antefurcal. First discal (discoidal) cell wide, petiolate anteriorly. First subdiscal (brachial) cell long, wide, weakly swollen, sometimes weakly widened towards apex ( Figs 12 , 31 ). Vein M+CU (medio-cubital) entirely straight. Vein CU 1 a (parallel) vein arising weakly before or almost from middle of distal margin of first subdiscal (brachial) cell. Vein CU 1 b (brachial) distinctly oblique towards base of wing. In hind wing, Vein M+CU (first abscissa of medio-cubital) 0.7–0.8 times as long as vein 1 M (second abscissa of medio-cubital). Vein m-cu (recurrent) present, but short or very short. Legs. All femora narrow ( Figs 8 , 32 ). Hind coxa long and narrow, longer than propodeum ( Fig. 24 ). Tarsal segments long and rather slender. Hind tibial spurs subequal, straight and entirely setose. Claws simple, short, distinctly curved apically. Metasoma ( Figs 11, 12 , 25 , 32 ). First tergite distinctly and linearly widened towards apex, with large dorsope, with distinctly convergent but not fused and not complete basal carinae ( Figs 20 , 24 ). Tergites behind first one weakly sclerotized, smooth or shagreened. Second suture very shallow, narrow, almost straight. Second tergites with separated laterotergites. Fourthseventh tergites distinctly exposed behind third tergite. Ovipositor ( Figs 1 , 11 ) straight, rather long, more or less thickened subapically, with distinct dorsal notch. Key to species of Troporhysipolis gen. nov. 1 . Antenna with more than 37 flagellomeres; prescutellar depression with median and two or more lateral carinae ( Fig. 7 ); fore wing vein cu-a (nervulus) antefurcal by approximately 0.2–0.5 of distance between veins 1 -M (basal) and cu-a (nervulus) ( Fig. 10 ); propodeum, first tergite entirely and at least second tergite laterally more or less distinctly but always darker than rest of body ( Figs 1, 6, 7 , 12 ). [Afrotropical]................. T. antefurcalis (Granger) –. Antenna with fewer than 37 flagellomeres; prescutellar depression with only median carina ( Figs 19 , 29 ); fore wing vein cu-a (nervulus) antefurcal by approximately 0.9–1.2 of distance between veins 1 -M (basal) and cu-a (nervulus) ( Figs 13 , 23 , 31 ); propodeum and first-third tergites unicolorous with remainder of body ( Figs 14 , 24– 26 ) [ Papua New Guinea ].................................... 2 2 . Wings infumate with dark brown venation ( Fig. 23 ); notauli uniting well before scutellar sulcus forming a single mid-longitudinal groove ( Fig. 22 ); median area of metanotum large, without mid-longitudinal carina; propodeum with mid-longitudinal carina present on anterior 0.7 and posteriorly dividing to give rise to a narrow lozenge-shaped areola ( Fig. 24 ); fore wing vein m-cu (recurrent) not especially thickened, more or less straight ( Fig. 23 ); hind tarsus black ( Fig. 21 )........ T. markshawi sp. nov. –. Wings hyaline with pale brownish yellow venation ( Figs 13 , 26 ); notauli remaining separate to posteri- or of mesoscutum where they are separated by a mid-longitudinal groove and coarse sculpture ( Figs 19 , 29 ); median area of metanotum small, with weak but distinct mid-longitudinal ridge or carina ( Fig. 29 ); propodeum with mid-longitudinal carina present on anterior 0.3–0.5 and posteriorly dividing to give wider, more angularly shaped areola ( Figs 20 , 29 ); fore wing vein m-cu (recurrent) distinctly thickened and curved ( Figs 13 , 31 ); hind tarsus yellow ( Figs 26, 27 )............................. 3 3 . Frons with a distinct though weak mid-longitudinal sulcus ( Fig. 28 ) [see also barcode characters in Table 2 ]................ T. molecularis sp. nov. –.
