(d): Caleca & Mineo (1995) : Fig. IV, 8 p. 13. Dyscritobaeus sp.: Anthony Watsham Gallery in Platygastroidea website: http://osuc.biosci.ohio-state.edu/hymDB/ eol_ scelionidae .taxon_image?img_id=307 Diagnosis. The presence of a preoccipital lunula (Fig. 32, 87) distinguishes this species from Dyscritobaeus comitans and other species without a preoccipital lunula. A metascutellum that is visible in dorsal view, wide with posterior margins parallel to mesoscutellum ones, a small metanotal spine, and T2 without a specillum in females ( Fig. 88 ) distinguishes D. flavus Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. from species of the orientalis- group s.l. ( i.e. D. orientalis , D. sulawensis , D. madagascarensis ). A metapleural carina with a single posterior pointed projection ( Fig. 87 ) distinguishes this species from those having two pointed projections ( D. antananarivensis , D. comitans , D. madagascarensis , D. sulawensis ); a character shared with D. ndokii , D. bicolor , D. kilimanjarensis , D. parvipennis and D. tanzaniensis . Color of the head, central keel absent ( Figs 20 , 89 ), odontoid process developed (Figs 22, 89) and angle st-pm <40° distinguish the species from D. bicolor . Odontoid process forms a 90° angle with the ventral margin of the ventral tooth; the ventral tooth is larger than the dorsal tooth in females (Fig. 22). The yellow color of the head distinguishes D. flavus Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. from D. parvipennis . A 12 long as A 11 ( Fig. 17 ), with a corresponding claval sensilla formula: 1:2:2:2:1:0. A smooth mesepimeral sulcus distinguishes the species from a crenulate furrow in D. sulawensis . Description. Female. Length of the body: 1.22 mm . Head . Color yellow; black occipital carina starting from oral foramen and reaching occiput; black rim around ocelli ( Fig. 20 ). Coriaceous; head covered by hair ( Fig. 20 ).

Central keel very short, not surpassing the deeper part of frontal depression ( Fig. 20 ). Fan-like striation in malar area from oral foramen to eye margin, fan-like striation present in genal area. Preoccipital lunula present and sculptured ( Fig. 87 ). Measures of the head width: height: length = 0.46: 0.4: 0.21 mm . Malar sulcus length: 0.11 mm . Measures of eye width: heigth = 0.14: 0.2 mm .

A 1 length: 0.22 mm . Clava six-segmented. Claval sensilla formula 1:2:2:2:1:0 ( Fig. 90 ). Mesosoma . In dorsal view, mesoscutum anteriorly yellow to brown in mesoscutellum; mesoscutellum posterior margin yellow; propodeum brown; metascutellum and metanotal spine brown with dark edge ( Figs 87, 88 ). In lateral view brown ( Fig. 89 ). In dorsal view mesoscutum and mesoscutellum imbricate ( Fig. 87 ); in lateral view speculum with furrow; femoral depression smooth with fan-like striation starting by post-ventral angle; posterior mesepimeral area not delimitate anteriorly; dorsal metapleural area with crenulate depression with rugae and ventral metapleural area partially smooth ( Fig. 89 ); metapleural carina with one posterior pointed projection ( Fig. 87 ). Metascutellum visible in dorsal view, wide with margins parallel to mesoscutellum ones, small metanotal spine ( Fig. 87 ). Mesosoma length 0.31 m , width 0.47 mm ; mesoscutellum length 0.16 mm , width 0.34 mm . Wings. Fore wing hyaline, surpassing metasoma; wing ratio st: pm: mg: sm: ww: lw: af: pf = 1: 0.2: 0.4: 3.3: 2.8: 8.0: 0.3: 1.4; angle st-pm= 30°, st= 0.1 mm ( Fig. 39e ), st= 0.1 mm . Legs brown with femur lighter than other part. Metasoma . In dorsal view metasoma light brown in lateral margins; T1 light brown gradually converting in dark brown in the last tergite ( Fig. 88 ); laterotergites yellowish. On T1 pair of longitudinal submedial carinae are aligned with the metapleural carinae and separate lateral coriaceous microscupture from internal smooth area; in the middle of T1 a sculpure striate to coriaceous starting by anterior margin and gradually dissolving in posterior margin ( Fig. 88 ). T2 not foveolate in anterior margin, very short longitudinal striae, Coriaceous as other tergites ( Fig. 88 ). Male. Length of the body: 1.07 mm . Head . Color and sculpture as in female.

Legs as in female. Metasoma . Color as in female, sculpture as in female ( Fig. 92 ). Edeago as in Fig. 44c . Comment and variability. Three hundred and fifty-three specimens were examined from Africa. Female length ranges from 0.82 mm in Togo to 1.25 mm in Democratic Republic of Congo. Male length ranges from 0.81 mm in Kenya to 1.07 mm in Central African Republic. In both sexes the color is always yellow from dark to light. In male the length of antennal segment A2 is 0.7 times the length of A 3, a ratio that also holds in smaller specimens. Distribution. ( Fig. 93 ) FIGURE 93 . Distribution of Dyscritobaeus . flavus Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. Etymology. This species is named after the uniform yellow coloration of the head and body, which is very different from the other Afrotropical species that have a brown to black colored head in contrast to a yellow body.
