Description. Female body length: 1.42–2.03 mm (n=3). Male body length: unknown.

Head: Vertex between posterior ocelli: rounded. Female OOL: more than one ocellar diameter. Frontal sculpture: at least partly smooth or considerably effaced. Sculpture of central frons: smooth or with shallowly impressed reticulate microsculpture. Setation of central frons: glabrous. Inner orbit in frontal view: more or less parallel. Upper gena in dorsal view of female: expanded, convex, therefore in lateral view compound eye separated from posterior margin by gena. Sculpture of gena behind lower half of eye: smooth. Setation of gena: sparsely setose. Antenna: Radicle color: yellow to orange brown. Color of female A1: dark brown to black. Color of female funicle (A3–A6): dark brown. Claval formula: 1-2-2-2-2-1. Claval color: dark brown to black.

Mesosoma: Pronotal cervical sulcus: present. Mesoscutum sculpture: smooth and shining. Longitudinal sculpture in posterior half of mesoscutum: absent. Admedian line: absent. Mesoscutal humeral sulcus: very coarsely foveolate. Notauli: absent. Mesoscutellum shape: rounded. Sculpture of mesoscutellum: almost entirely smooth. Length of medial metascutellar spine: medial spine short to moderately long, distinctly shorter than distance between medial and lateral spines. Length of lateral metascutellar spine: short, only slightly longer than wide. Sculpture of propodeal nucha: strongly foveolate to longitudinally striate. Sculpture of suprahumeral area of pronotum: puncticulate. Sculpture in lower pronotum: reticulate to weakly rugulose. Netrion setation: sparsely setose to glabrous. Mesopleural carina: complete. Mesepimeral sulcus: complete, foveate throughout. Area 2 on metapleuron: polygonal, setose. Setation of area 4 of metapleuron: glabrous. Setation in anteroventral metapleural triangle: absent. Setation of propodeum anterior to spiracle: sparsely setose (less than 10) or absent. Legs: Coxae color: all coxae brown to black.

Wings: Female fore wing maculation: hyaline or with slight infuscation below marginal vein.

Metasoma: Length of T1: less than or equal to one times width. Horn on T1 of female: absent, T1 longitudinally furrowed throughout length. Lateral setation of T1: sparsely to moderately setose (6–15/side). Medial sculpture on T3: smooth and shiny.

Diagnosis. Fusicornia collaris is most similar to F. spinosa and may be distinguished from it by the presence of a pronotal cervical sulcus and the strongly foveolate to longitudinally striate sculpture of the propodeal nucha ( Figs. 39, 42).

Etymology. The epithet collaris, Latin for collar, refers to the pronotal cervical sulcus ( Fig. 42).
