New taxonomic status of Foenomorpha Szépligeti as a subgenus of Capitonius Brullé (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Cenocoeliinae) including a revision of species Author Pitz, Kevin M. text Zootaxa 2010 2607 1 54 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.275994 9a4e550c-5326-4da1-8f64-1d35b61cedbb 1175-5326 275994 Capitonius venustus Pitz n. sp. ( Figs. 39 , 40 A–G) Diagnosis: Distinguishable from other species in the subgenus by having mid tibia rufous. FIGURE 39. Lateral habitus of C. venustus holotype female, including label information. FIGURE 40. Holotype female of C. venustus . A, anterior head; B, lateral head; C, dorsal head; D, dorsal mesosoma; E, lateral mesosoma; F, dorsal metasoma; G, forewing. Length: 8.3 mm . Color: body rufous except: flagellomere segments 7–32, apex of mandible, metasomal terga 2–9 melanic; wing yellow basally and lightly infuscate apically ( Fig. 40 G). Head ( Fig. 40 A–C): antenna with 35 flagellomeres, each with 2–5 rows of longitudinal placodes; vertex smooth with sparse setae; occipital carina with evenly spaced setae over its entirety; lateral carina bordering antennal scrobe complete to lateral ocellus; median lamella of antennal scrobe flattened anteriorly, acute posteriorly; face and clypeus with dense punctures; ventral margin of clypeus with three blunt tubercles. Mesosoma ( Fig. 40 D–E): anterior margin of pronotum protruding posteriorly as curl of cuticle; pronotum lightly rugosofoveate anteriorly, crenulate medianly and posteriorly; anterior face of mesoscutum with moderately dense fovea and setae; median lobe of mesoscutum triangular; mesoscutum with large fovea along anterior margin with moderately dense setae, lateral lobe smooth with sparse setae; notauli meeting in anterior half of mesoscutum, with transverse carinae that create large oval and rectangular fovea; transscutal articulation slightly grooved medianly; scutellar disc smooth with moderately dense setae; scutellar sulcus with 4 fovea; propleuron smooth posteriorly, becoming moderately foveate anteriorly, with moderately dense setae; mesopleuron with carinae running perpendicular to epicnemial area, pleural sulcus with few perpendicular carinae, rugose ventrally, otherwise mesopleuron smooth, with moderate setae anteriorly and posteroventrally; sternaulus complete, restricted to single row of ovoid fovea; propodeum irregularly areolate with sparse to moderately dense setae; metapleuron irregularly areolate with sparse to moderately dense setae; hind coxa with distinct groove or depression on median face; sharp carina of anterior border on hind coxal groove present; tarsal claw with basal lobe absent. Metasoma ( Fig. 40 F): t1 with dorsal carinae extending from base over one-third of length, otherwise smooth; t4–t7 with dense, small pits posteroventrally near spiracles; first valvula of ovipositor with serrations apically; second valvula lacking subapical serration; ratio of length:width of t1 1.4; ratio of ovipositor:forewing 1.3; ratio of M+CU:1M vein of hind wing 2.5. Variation: antenna with 36–38 flagellomeres. Biology: unknown. Male: unknown. Etymology: from Latin venustus meaning like Venus, lovely, beautiful, elegant, or graceful, named in honor of my wife, Kristina Pitz, and for the beauty of this species. Material examined: Holotype .
