Eutrichosomellini (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Aphelinidae) from India, with description of two new genera Author Hayat, Mohammad text Zootaxa 2014 3821 4 425 442 journal article 45402 10.11646/zootaxa.3821.4.2 6014f497-4e62-46d1-b42d-a91b1975518b 1175-5326 251113 E1690A2C-823D-4D62-B58F-1CFEDC2D3957 Zubairia Hayat , gen. nov. ( Figs 36–42 , 45 ) Type species Zubairia mirifica Hayat , sp. nov. Female. Head dorsally with vertex behind anterior ocellus declivous; frontovertex broad, nearly 0.4× head width; head, in frontal view, transversely elongate oval ( Fig. 37 ); frons with a groove in front of anterior ocellus; scrobes inverted U-shaped, with lateral margins sharp; torulus with upper margin in line with lower margin of eye, and removed from mouth margin by a distance less than torulus height; mouth fossa less than half width of frontovertex; malar space strongly converging towards mouth margin; frontovertex with dark brown, bristle-like setae, with 2 pairs of long setae on occipital margin ( Figs 37, 38 ); eye densely setose. Mandible rudimentary, lobelike with apices of the two mandibles widely separated ( Fig. 37 ). Maxillary palp 2-segmented, labial palp unsegmented. Antennal formula 1131 ( Fig. 36 ); scape flattened and expanded beneath, less than 2× as long as broad; pedicel nearly as long as ventral lengths of F1–3 combined; funicle segments broader than long; F1 trapezoidal, ventral side longer than dorsal side; F2 and F3 with dorsal sides longer than ventral sides; clava slightly flattened, with apex transversely truncate. Mesosoma ( Figs 39, 40 ). Pronotum medially membranous, thus consisting of two plates; mesoscutum with notaular lines slightly curved and reaching posterior margin of mesoscutum; axilla large, its anterior width equal to width of anterior margin of scutellum; scutellum broader than long, with posterior margin rounded; median length of metanotum less than median length of propodeum; mesopleuron a large undivided plate; each axilla with 1 bristle-like seta, and scutellum with 4 bristle-like setae; distance between posterior pair of scutellar setae about 3× distance between anterior pair of setae. [Mesofurca ( Fig. 45 ) with anterior interfurcal arms absent, and with lateral arms bent backwards, lyre-shaped.] Fore wing ( Fig. 41 ) with costal cell subequal in length to marginal vein; costal cell without setae on dorsal surface, but with a line of setae on ventral surface; postmarginal vein nearly absent; stigmal vein short, with 4 circular sensilla; parastigma short, its ventral margin curved below; disc below submarginal vein bare; linea calva proximally bordered by 4 or 5 lines of setae, and open posteriorly. Legs with tarsal formula, 5–5–5; fore tibial spur curved and bifid at apex. Metasoma. Gaster apically rounded; cercal plates near apex of gaster, each plate with 1 short and 3 long setae; ovipositor not exserted; hypopygium extending nearly to apex of gaster. Male . Unknown. Comments. This genus is similar to Samariola Hayat (1983) in having the mandibles rudimentary, small, lobelike, and in having flattened antennal scape, but differs in the following characters: frontovertex and occiput above with long, bristle-like setae; frons with a distinct groove extending anteriorly from anterior ocellus; malar space 0.62× eye height; axilla large, its width equal to width of anterior margin of scutellum; median length of propodeum 1.33× as long as median length of metanotum; fore wing proximal to linea calva with about 5 lines of setae. [Mesofurca without anterior interfurcal arms, and with lateral arms strongly bent backwards, lyre-shaped, Fig. 45 ] In Samariola frontovertex and occiput above with setae short and not bristle-like; frons without such a groove extending from anterior ocellus; malar space 0.36× eye height; axilla small, its width about one-third width of anterior margin of scutellum; median length of propodeum equal to the median length of metanotum; fore wing proximal to linea calva with one complete and 1–2 incomplete lines of setae. [Mesofurca ( Kim & Heraty 2012: fig. 19 ) with anterior interfurcal arms present, and with lateral arms obliquely bent backwards.] The differences between the new genus, Mashimaro Kim & Heraty (2012) and Saengella Kim & Heraty (2012) are given in the key to genera. Both these genera differ from the new genus in having well-developed mandibles with teeth, and in the structure of the mesofurca, in addition to other characters. Etymology. The genus is named after my younger son, Mohammad Zubair.
