Diagnosis. Wahabia mantici differs from all other Diallactiini by the characters referred to in the generic diagnosis of Wahabia .

Other male characters. Body about 1.2 mm long, bright yellow-brown. Head. Postgenal setae absent. Eye bridge 2–3 ommatidia long dorsally. Scape and pedicel concolorous with flagellum, scape with 3 setae, pedicel unsetose. Maximally 10 flagellomeres retained. Fourth flagellomere with neck and node equally long; node with short setae basally, an incomplete whorl with long sensory hairs with hooded alveoli medially, a line of such sensory hairs distally, 2 multifurcate translucent sensilla distally, each with up to 7 tines, microtrichia only basally. Clypeus unsetose. Palpus small, single-segmented, with setae and numerous hair-shaped translucent sensilla. Thorax. Scutal and scutellar setae sparse. Wing length / width 2.5. Membrane completely covered with setae. Costal break distinct; btv setose; both M1+2 and M4 absent; CuA extending to wing margin, faint apically. Legs. Second to fifth tarsomeres missing, other segments unicolored. Basitarsi without spine. Genitalia. Ninth tergite small, subtrapezoid, setose. Gonocoxae (Fig. A): ventral emargination small, U-shaped, anterior of it a weak transverse suture; medial bridges sparsely setose; dorsomedial edges with long, pointed process subapically (↓), a broad, subrectangular process apically (↓); dorsal apodemes with long anterior processes. Gonostylus small, slightly processes curved (Fig,. almost

B),

ventral parallel-sided pair short, with, directed subapical ventrally tooth consisting, rounded of apically several (spines ↓), dorsal. Two pair pairs long of parameral, directed

posterolaterally, whip-like apically (↓).

Etymology. The new species is named after Michal Mantič, PhD student at the University of Ostrava, who assisted with the field work producing the Brunei specimens studied here.

Type material. Holotype. Male, Brunei, Ulu Temburong National Park, Kuala Belalong Field Studies Centre, 26 Jan.–15 Feb. 2015, lowland mixed dipterocarp forest, Malaise trap (D), D. Kaspřák & M. Mantič (in UBDC).
