( Figs 8 , 20 , 29 , 49 , 75, 76 )

Description. MALE. Body length 7.6 mm. LFW 5.7 mm. Color. Head, clypeus and mesosoma black; mandible, antennae, metasoma and legs dark castaneous; wings brownish.

Head ( Figs 8 , 20 ). Mandible with five apical teeth; uppermost one blunt, others angulate; large, subequal in length. Median clypeal lobe convex; apical margin strongly medially ventrad, without median tooth conspicuous; carina high, straight in profile. Antennal torulus strongly prominent. Flagellomeres median-sized; four first antennomeres in ratio about 17:6:7:7; pedicel short, 1.25 × as long as wide; flagellomere I 1.75 × as long as wide; flagellomere IX 1.42 ×; flagellar pubescence suberect, about quarter of diameter of flagellomeres. Frons polished; densely punctate. WH 1.0 × LH. WF 0.71 × WH. WF 2.0 × HE. Eye small, very salient; pilosity sparse. Ocellus small. DAO 0.13 × WF; frontal angle of ocellar triangle acute. WOT 3.30 × DAO. OOL 0.9 × WOT. Distance of posterior ocellus to vertex crest 2.33 × DAO. VOL 1.09 × HE. Temple parallel. Vertex straight. Occipital carina complete, visible in dorsal view; ventral projection on occipital carina present.

Mesosoma ( Fig. 29 ). Pronotal disc and mesonotum polished; densely punctate. Pronotal collar short. Pronotal declivity high. Pronotal disc 0.35 as long as wide. Notauli strongly conspicuous; complete; slightly convergent. Parapsidal furrow complete. Scutellar furrow long, slender, scrobiculate, posterior margin sinuous. Median region of scutellum punctate. Median region of metanotum short, slender. Inner foveae of metanotal furrow not delimited. Propodeal disc 1.0 × as long as wide; 0.61 × as high as long; basal triangle absent, disc finely rugulose; median carina absent; paramedian carina absent; lateral carina absent; sublateral carina absent; transversal carina absent; declivity strigulate; side of propodeum polished. Mesopleuron polished; callus present; fovea shallow; mesopleural pit absent. Metacarpus 0.18 × radial vein; discoidal vein strongly pigmented, not interstitial with median; first recurrent slightly pigmented; subdiscoidal vein strongly pigmented.

Metasoma. Hypopygium ( Fig. 49 ) 1.30 × as long as wide; posterior margin strongly trilobate; median lobe convex, slender; lateral lobe rectangular, short; lateral margin straight; anterior pigmented line strongly defined, slender; median stalk long; lateral stalk absent. Genitalia ( Figs 75–76 ): aedeagus uniformly wide; apical margin of ventral paramere convex; dorsal paramere as wide as ventral one, glabrous; basivolsella strongly excavated; inner margin of cuspis sinuous; short setae on basis of digitus present; genital ring short.

FEMALE unknown.

Remarks. Caloapenesia lani sp. nov. resembles C. brevis and C. ana sp. nov. by present head quadrangular, torulus very prominent; eye small, ocelli small. But C. lani sp. nov. presents head more slender than in C. ana sp. nov. and C. brevis ; occipital carina visible in dorsal view, with a ventral projection; median clypeal lobe rounded and wide, without median tooth; pronotal declivity shorter than in C. brevis ; posterior margin of scutellar furrow not delimited; propodeal disc finely rugulose, without paramedian carina conspicuous, without lateral carina; mesopleuron with callus very slightly conspicuous, without foveae; hypopygium without lateral stalk, posterior margin with median lobe convex, lateral lobe rectangular; cuspis with margin sinuous; aedeagus uniformly wide; dorsal paramere slender than ventral paramere.
