Body length between 1.44 and 2.24 mm ; LFW between 1.17 and 1.63 mm ; maximum wing width between 0.46 and 0.72 mm ; propodeal declivity without median carina. Remarks. Dissomphalus kelsus sp. nov. is similar to D. jubus sp. nov. because of the following characteristics: mandible with two apical teeth; clypeal apical margin evenly projected with one tooth, clypeal median carina absent; WF 1.22 × HE; anterior ocellus 0.18 × as wide as WF; pronotal declivity low; median region of genital ring with inclination angle about 90º; hypopygium short, its median and lateral stalks thick; basiparamere evenly narrow; paramere with apex sub-angulate, base as narrow as basiparamere; digitus long; aedeagal dorsal body globoid. However, D. kelsus sp. nov. differs as follows: hypopygium rounded, median stalk long and wide with apex bifurcated; inner lobe of aedeagal dorsal body not visible in either dorsal or ventral view; aedeagal dorsal body elliptical, with apical ornaments; ventral ramus sub-triangular, wider basally and narrowing progressively apicad, almost as long as dorsal body. This species has no tergal process. However there is an arc of few and sparse setae on the surface of metasomal tergite II. This arc is also present in D. turinus sp. nov. and D. lidinus sp. nov. , and in these there species this arc can be found in the other segments. Because of that we could not considered such arc as tergal process. Distribution. Thailand ( Lampang , Loei , Phitsanulok , Phetchabun and Nakhon Nayok ).
