Diagnosis.
Similar to
D. rathmanae
in having distal area of metasoma smooth without punctures. Differs from
D. rathmanae
n. sp.
in proportions of antennal segments (see key). All other Holarctic species of
Dilyta
have distal area of metasoma punctate.
Description. Length
: Female:
1–1.2 mm
. Male:
0.9–1.1 mm
.
Colour.
Head, mesosoma and metasoma dark brown. Antennae and legs yellow or dark yellow with apical part of antennae slightly brown.
Antennae
(figs. 3C, 4C):
Female
. (with only 10 flagellomeres) F1 slightly shorter than pedicel, F1 longer than F2, F2 slightly longer than F3 and F4, F3 subequal to F4, F1 as long as F5, F6 longer than F5(Proportion F1–F6: 5.5:3.5:3:3:5.3:6.5), F7 longer than F6; F6–F10 wider than previous segments, antenna slightly clavate from F5; sensilla beginning on F6.
Male
. F1 longer than pedicel and slightly arched, F1 longer than F2 and F3, F2 subequal to F3, F3 shorter than F4, F1 as long as F4, F4 wider than F1; F4–F12 wider than previous segments, antenna slightly clavate from F4; sensilla beginning on F6.
Metasoma
: Distal half smooth, with few or no punctures.
Etymology.
We want to respect the specific name handwritten by V. Belizin, which was never published. We suppose this name makes reference to the collector, M. Alejeva.
Biology.
Unknown.
Distribution.
Kokchetavskaya Region,
Kazakhstan
