Redescription.
FEMALE (
allotype
). Body length 873 µm. Head mostly brown, mesosoma partially light brown and partially brown, gaster light brown basally, distal gastral terga dark brown; scape light brown, pedicel brown, flagellum brown to dark brown; legs light brown to brown.
Antenna (
Fig. 32
) with radicle about 0.4x total length of scape, rest of scape 2.6x as long as wide; pedicel longer than F1; F1, F2, and F4 subequal, narrower than other funicle segments, F3 a little longer than F2 or F4 and subequal to each of F5–F8; F3 and F5–F8 each with 2 mps; clava with 8 mps, 4.1x as long as wide, shorter than combined length of F5–F8.

(

♀ (allotype): forewing.
Mesosoma (
Fig. 31
). Pronotum (in non-type specimen from Parque Nacional El Palmar,
Entre Ríos
) 2- lobed (mediolongitudinally divided), not entire as drawn in
Fig. 7
by Ogloblin (1956). Dorsellum rhomboidal. Forewing (
Fig. 33
) 4.1x as long as wide; longest marginal seta about 0.4x maximum wing width. Forewing disc slightly infumate throughout, bare behind submarginal vein, setose behind and beyond marginal vein. Hind wing
24–25x
as long as wide; disc bare except for rows of setae along margins, slightly infumate throughout; longest marginal seta 3.0x maximum wing width.
Metasoma (
Fig. 31
). Ovipositor 0.7x length of gaster, not exserted beyond its apex; ovipositor length: mesotibia length ratio 1.1:1.
MALE (
holotype
). Similar to female except for normal sexually dimorphic features and the following. Gaster light brown basally and brown distally. Antenna (
Fig. 38
) with scape (excluding radicle) 2.0x as long as wide. Forewing (
Fig. 39
) 4.0x as long as wide.
Measurements (µm) of the
holotype
. Body length 738. Mesosoma 289; gaster 345. Antenna: scape (including radicle) 75; pedicel 45; F1 67; F2 71; F3 78; F4 82; F5 79; F6 77; F7 79; F8 79; F9 80; F10 79; F11 90. Forewing 867:215; longest marginal seta 79. Hind wing: 677:30; longest marginal seta 91.
Diagnosis.
Gonatocerus
(
Gonatocerus
)
granulosus
is characterized by the female antenna (
Fig. 32
) bearing 2 mps on F3 and F5–F8. The illustrations of the antenna (
Fig. 34
), mesosoma and petiole (
Fig. 35
), forewing (
Fig. 36
), and hind wing (
Fig. 37
) are of the better slide-mounted non-type female specimen from Parque Nacional El Palmar,
Entre Ríos
,
Argentina
.
