( Figs 104 View FIGURE 104 B–D, 108 View FIGURE 108 A)

Diagnosis. ♂ of Bocchus with mesoscutum completely granulate ( Fig. 104D View FIGURE 104 ); notauli complete and posteriorly separated; mesoscutellum finely punctate, unsculptured among punctures; distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein about as long as proximal part; propodeal declivity without longitudinal keels.

Description. ♂ ( Figs 104 View FIGURE 104 B–D). Fully winged; body length 2.4–2.6 mm. Head black, except mandible testa- ceous; antenna brown; mesosoma black; metasoma brown; legs brown, except articulations, tarsi and protibia testaceous.

Head dull, reticulate rugose; frontal line complete; occipital carina complete; POL = 5; OL = 3.5; OOL = 6; OPL = 3; TL = 5; greatest breadth of posterior ocellus about as long as OPL. Mesoscutum dull, completely granulate. Notauli complete and posteriorly separated; minimum distance between notauli longer than greatest breadth of posterior ocellus (8:3). Notauli of paratype hardly visible. Mesoscutellum shiny, finely punctate, unsculptured among punctures. Metanotum unsculptured, shiny. Metapectal-propodeal disc and propodeal declivity reticulate rugose, without longitudinal and transverse keels.
