Diagnosis

Apocharips trapezoidea is mainly characterized by a completely open radial cell that is 1.0 times as long as wide (Fig. 5.24); the presence of pronotal and propodeal carinae; an apex of scutellum with M-shaped carinae; female antenna with rhinaria beginning on F5, F1 longer than pedicel and F2, F2 subequal to F3, and F3 shorter than F4 (Fig. 3.20); male antenna with rhinaria beginning on F1, F1 longer than pedicel and F2, and F2–F4 subequal in length. This species is easily differentiated from other species of Apocharips by the completely open radial cell with parallel R1 and Rs veins (Fig. 5.24). The closest congener is A. hansoni Menke, 1993 , but it can be easily differentiated by the presence of radial carinae around the clypeus (absent in A. trapezoidea but present in A. hansoni ).
