Apocharips angelicae Pujade-Villar & Evenhuis, 2002
( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 )
Type material of Apocharips angelicae Pujade-Villar & Evenhuis, HOLOTYPE Ƥ (UB) designated by Pujade- Villar (2002) with the following labels: “Ubatuba est. exp., 17.VIII.90, Moericke trap, N. F. de Cristo Col.”, “Genotypus”, “ Apocharips angelicae n. sp., det. Pujade, 1998”. PARATYPE Ƥ (UB) with the following labels: “Fazenda Canchim (Sao Carlos), SP, Brazil, 1.IX.97 (sweep), G. La Salle Col.”, “ Paratypus ”, “ Apocharips angelicae n. sp. det. Pujade, 1998”.
Diagnosis. Apocharips angelicae is differentiated from all other Apocharips species having many long setae under toruli. Moreover, Apocharips angelicae resembles A. colombiana n. sp. having two last flagellomeres of female antenna well differentiated, not broadly joined. Several characters distinguish these two species: rhinaria and the club (antenna widening) begin in F 5 in A. angelicae ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 C), but in F 2 in A. colombiana ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 E); proportions of first flagellomeres are F1>F2=F 3 in A. angelicae ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 C), F1=F2<F 3 in A. colombiana ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 E); propodeal carinae are thick and separate in A. angelicae ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 D), but form a plate with margins strongly curved in A. colombiana ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 D); A. colombiana lacks carinae on apex of scutellum ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 D), present in A. angelicae ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 D).
Redescription. Coloration. Head, mesosoma and metasoma black. Scape, pedicel, F1–F5 dark yellow; F6– F11 yellowish brown. Legs and veins yellowish brown.
Head. Triangular, higher than wide, smooth, shiny. Setae present below and between toruli, few setae above toruli. Scattered setae on vertex, many setae on frons. Transfacial line 0.8 times height of compound eye. Malar space 0.4 times height of compound eye ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 F).
Antenna. Female: 14-segmented, filiform. All antennomeres with sparse setae. F1–F3 smooth, thinner than remaining flagellomeres; F4–F11 with rhinaria, club-shaped. Antennal formula: 3.5 (2.2); 3.0 (2.0); 4.7 (1.3); 4.0 (1.3); 4.0 (1.4); 4.7 (1.7) ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 C).
Mesosoma. Pronotum with abundant setae; with two thick, curved, long carinae forming a well-defined pronotal plate ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 B). Mesoscutum smooth, shiny, round in dorsal view, without setae. Scutellum smooth, shiny, with scattered setae not being more abundant on apex; apex with a triangular carina (-shaped) ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 D). Propodeum with abundant setae; two propodeal carinae thick, well defined, arched ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 D).
Forewing. Longer than body, 1.1 times as long as mesosoma+metasoma. With dense pubescence and marginal setae. Radial cell 2.1 times as long as wide. R1 short, slightly curved; Rs long, curved ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1 A).
Distribution. Brazil (Pujade-Villar et al. 2002: 544). An additional specimen has been determined by Matt Buffington (pers. comm) from Colombia.
