Trichogramma obscurum
Pinto, 1999
Diagnosis.
Dorsal lamina originating posterior to middle of genital capsule, not notched or lobed at base, narrowing from base to form broad linguiform posterior extension that obscures most of volsellae in dorsal view; volsellae asymmetrical, median margin bowed, abruptly narrowed at apical half; intervolsellar process short, narrowly subtriangular (
Pinto 1999
).
Comments.
This species belongs to the
Drepanophorum
section, based on the structure of the volsellae, the general shape of the dorsal lamina, and the presumed presence of a dorsal ridge (

).
