Diagnosis. Female flagellum with a 3-segmented clava ( Figs 80 View FIGURES 69 – 86 , 98 View FIGURES 98 – 104 ); antennal scrobes as narrow grooves ( Figs 15, 16 View FIGURES 15 – 20 ); frontal suture present in median 1/3 of frons ( Figs 15, 16 View FIGURES 15 – 20 ); occipital margin sharp with posterior ocelli very close to margin ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 28 – 35. 28 – 34 ); midlobe of mesoscutum with 1 pair of setae ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 44 – 47 ); scutellum with 1 pair of setae ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 44 – 47 ); with a narrow slit between scutellum and axillae ( Fig. 45 View FIGURES 44 – 47 ); forewing with submarginal vein with 3 setae, strongly hairy and infuscate in median 1/3 ( Fig. 67 View FIGURES 59 – 68 ), postmarginal vein short, 0.3X as long as stigmal vein.
Description. FEMALE. Length 2.8–3.0 mm.
Scape pale brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Frons, vertex, mesoscutum and scutellum with metallic blue and purple tinges. Coxae dark, metallic; femora dark brown; fore tibia yellowish-brown, mid and hind tibiae with basal ½ dark brown and apical ½ yellowish-brown; tarsi yellowish-brown. Forewing hyaline with median 1/3 infuscate. Gastral tergites dark brown, shiny.
Flagellum with 1 large and 2 small discoid anelli, 2 funiculars and a 3-segmented clava ( Figs 80 View FIGURES 69 – 86 , 98 View FIGURES 98 – 104 ). Frons and vertex with strong, raised reticulation; frons with a row of setae along eye margin. Antennal scrobes as narrow grooves. Frontal suture present in median 1/3 of frons, as a narrow groove. Occipital margin with a sharp edge. Eyes with scattered short hairs.
Mesoscutum and scutellum convex. Mesoscutum 0.6X as long as wide; with strong, raised reticulation; midlobe with 1 pair of setae; notauli indistinct. Scutellum 1.2X as long as wide; with strong, raised reticulation; with 1 pair of setae; with a narrow slit between scutellum and axillae. Propodeum with posterolateral part drawn out into a point; propodeal callus with 6–7 setae and with 0–3 additional setae inside spiracular sulcus; without a median carina; entire propodeal surface reticulate-rugose. Forewing with 3 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; costal cell bare; ventral surface just below marginal vein with a setose area; speculum open below.
Petiole not visible, but presumably small. Gaster ovate; gastral tergites with weak reticulation.
Ratios. HE/MS/WM = 5.9/1.0/2.9; POL/OOL/POO = 31.5/10.5/1.0; WH/WT = 1.2; LW/LM/HW = 1.9/ 1.0/1.2; PM/ST = 0.3; MM/LG = 0.9.
MALE. Length 2.5–2.7 mm.
Head and thoracic dorsum metallic bluish-green. All tibiae yellowish-brown. Colour otherwise as in female.
Flagellum with 2 small discoid anelli and 1 large anellus, 2 funiculars and a 3-segmented clava (the 3 apical flagellomeres are more or less fused) ( Figs 81 View FIGURES 69 – 86 , 99 View FIGURES 98 – 104 ). Head otherwise similar to that of female.
Mesosoma as in female.
Ratios. HE/MS/WM = 5.2/1.0/3.0; POL/OOL/POO = 27.5/8.3/1.0; MM/LG = 1.0.
Distribution. Brazil.
Biology. From galls on Copaifera langsdorffii (Fabaceae) .
Material examined. Holotype female “ BRAZIL, Sao Paulo, Jaguariuna, galls on Copaifera langsdorffii , collected 18.ix.1997, emerged i.1998, M. Tavares, V. Costa, C. Azevedo, N. Perioto, J. LaSalle”, in MZSP. Paratypes: 19 females, 3 males with same data as holotype; 5 females 4 males from same locality, collecting date and host, but emerged xii.1997 (2 females in ANIC, 6 females 3 males in BMNH, 2 females in CH, 12 females 4 males in MZSP, 2 females in USNM).
Etymology. Named for José de Aguiar Guimarães, whose thesis and collected material provided inspiration for further collections of galls on Copaifera langsdorffii .
