Khoikhoia turneri
Mason, 1984
Holotype
female.
Body. Length.
6.8 mm
. Color. Mottled black and brown except laterotergite 1 whitish, body, particularly metasoma, predominantly dark brown to black (Fig. 16). Forewing entirely infuscate (Fig. 17E). Head. Number of flagellomeres 34 <30–38>. Scape flared apicoanteriorly with expanded apical surface (Fig. 17B). Antennal scrobe deep (Fig. 17B); entirely transversely rugosostriate. Gena entirely longitudinally rugosostriate, striae weaker posteriorly (Fig. 17A). Face entirely rugose (Fig. 17A). Area between antennal scrobe and inner orbit of eye with protuberance (Fig. 17A). Vertex with strong coarse punctures (Fig. 16A). Posterior orbit of eye with distinct crenulate margin (Fig. 17B). Mesosoma. Middle lobe of scutum smooth with punctures anteromedially, otherwise rugosopunctate (Fig. 17C). Notauli entirely crenulate (Fig. 17C). Mesopleuron entirely rugosopunctate or rugose (Fig. 16C). Sternaulus absent or difficult to discern due to dense sculpture of mesopleuron (Fig. 16C). Discrimen (median longitudinal ventral sulcus between mesopleura) crenulate. Metapleuron mostly rugose, lacking a large smooth lightly punctate area (Fig. 16C). Propodeum entirely rugose without smooth area posterolaterally (Fig. 17D). Metasoma. Median tergite 1 not distinctly narrowed posteriorly (Fig. 17D); completely

rugose (Fig. 17D). Hypopygium less than 1/3 length of metasoma (Fig. 1E, 16B); not extending past apical tergum (Fig. 1E, 16B). Ovipositor barely exserted, much shorter than metasoma (Fig. 1E, 16B). Setae of ovipositor sheath not longer than 2× width of ovipositor sheath (Fig. 1E).
