Oropezella longifrons
sp. nov.
(
Figs 59–66
, 118)
Diagnosis
. Frons long, more than two-thirds length of the face; scutum brown, mesopleuron and mediotergite yellow, scutellum and postpronotal lobe pale brown; scutum entirely covered with scattered pruinescence; femora, fore and mid tibiae pale brown; hind femur pale yellow; tarsi brown; abdomen shiny brown, tergites 3–5 yellow on lateral margins.
Etymology
. From the Latin “
longus
” (long), “
frons
” (forehead), in reference to the length of the frons which is almost as long as the face.
Description
.
Holotype
male.
Body
:
2.7 mm
. Wing:
2.7 mm
.
Head
: antenna brown located slightly above middle of head; scape as long as pedicel; postpedicel lanceolate, 2.5 times longer than wide, as long as the scape and pedicel combined; stylus apical, bare and long, about 3.5 times length of antenna. Ocellar triangle protuberant; 1 elongate pair of ocellar setae, proclinate at 45º. Holoptic, frons long, more than two-thirds length of face. Proboscis yellow; palpus brown bearing 1 long apical and 1 shorter lateral bristle. Postcranium dark brown with brown to gray thin pruinescence; postoculars elongate, scattered, upper setae longest.
Thorax
: sub-shiny, entirely covered with pale brown thin and scattered pruinescence; scutum brown, scutellum and postpronotal lobe pale brown, mesopleuron and mediotergite yellow. Bristles thin, short and scattered; acr and dc uniserial. Differentiated bristles: 1 npl short and discreet; posterior dc not distinctly developed; 1 pal short; 1 long and strong apical sctl and 1 lateral bristle thin and about one-third length of apical.
Wing
(Fig. 118): sub-hyaline with golden iridescence; R1 meeting C at middle of wing; cell dm emitting 2 veins; cell cu
p
present.
Legs
: coxae and trochanters pale yellow; femora, fore and mid tibiae pale brown; hind femur pale yellow; hind tibia pale brown; tarsi brown. Bristles short and weak: mid tibia with 1A at middle and 1D near base; some V elongate bristles on hind femur.
Abdomen
: tergites brown except tergites 3–5 yellow on lateral margins; sternites pale brown; shiny with pruinescence only on tergite 8. Bristles brown, short, scattered and thin.
Terminalia
: hypandrium about 1.5 times longer than wide, apex concave (
Fig. 59
); epandrium not deeply cleft dorsally, epandrial lamellae broadly fused basally (
Fig. 60
); left epandrial lamella shorter than right with elongate dorsoapical process, robust in dorsal view (
Fig. 60
), slender in lateral view (
Fig. 62
); right surstylus short, spoon-like about half length of left (
Figs. 63
), left surstylus long and slender, curved inwards at mid-length (
Fig. 62
); articulated distal portion of phallus waved, simple, elongate, about half length of basal portion, basal process slender, about half length of articulated distal portion of phallus (
Fig. 61
).
Female
. Similar to male. Ovipositor (
Figs 64–66
