A revision of Ganaspidium Weld, 1952 (Hymenoptera, Figitidae, Eucoilinae): new species, bionomics, and distribution Author Buffington, Matthew Systematic Entomology Laboratory, USDA / ARS ,, United States of America text ZooKeys 2010 2010-02-25 37 37 81 101 journal article 10.3897/zookeys.37.311 2737c0d7-97dc-4770-9ec1-d420a668bd4a 1313–2970 576628 068922FF-CB53-4D26-9D27-363AA4853F0D Ganaspidium flemingi Buffington , sp. n. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 8A5BDA75-2ADB-42CF-920E-69D6F855F7CF urn:lsid:biosci.ohio-state.edu:osuc_concepts:253203 Figure 4B Description . Malar sulcus compound. Malar space smooth. Malar protuberance smooth, elongate, extending beyond length of ventral margin of malar space. Clypeal protuberance elongate, overhanging anterior margin of clypeus; short, not overhanging anterior margin of clypeus. Tubercles of scutellar plate distinct, small, length of tuber less than one-half width of tubercle base. Dorsal surface of scutellar plate concave around midpit, two setal bearing pits at base of each tubercle. Carina along posterior margin of scutellum present, delicate, defining transition from dorsal surface of scutellum from posterior surface. Dorsal surface of scutellum smooth except for faint wrinkles along posterior carina. Midpit of scutellar plate in posterior half of plate; plate small, revealing dorsal surface of scutellum when viewed dorsally. Mesopopleural setal patch absent. Mesopleuron entirely smooth. Lateral aspect of pronotum anteriorly with some short setae, remainder glabrous. Marginal cell of forewing distinctly deeper than long. Metasoma of sub-equal in size to mesosoma in lateral view. Diagnosis . This species can be separated from all other species of Ganaspidium by having an entirely smooth dorsal surface of the scutellum, with only a few gentle wrinkles present along the posterior carina of the scutellum, and having a completely smooth malar space. Most easily confused with G. pusillae , which will often have a smooth anterior half, but distinctly wrinkled/striate posterior half of the dorsal surface of the scutellum. Etymology . Named in honor of Ian Fleming, author and creator of the British secret agent James Bond 007 , and long time resident of The Bahamas . The gender is masculine.

The presence of this taxon in The Bahamas is intriguing. Most eucoiline leafminer parasites from the Caribbean belong to the Zaeucoilini (Buffington, 2009) . It is likely that this species is a North American native that has been introduced to The Bahamas via human activity, as has occurred with B. utilis and Disorygma pacifica (Yoshimoto) in the Hawaiian Islands.
