Diagnosis. Macropterous ♀ of Anteon with head granulate ( Fig. 58F View FIGURE 58 ); propodeal declivity with two complete longitudinal keels; protarsomere 4 much longer than basal part of 5.

Description. ♀ ( Figs 58F View FIGURE 58 , 61 View FIGURE 61 ). Fully winged; body length 2.2 mm. Head reddish-brown-, except mandible partly testaceous; antenna testaceous; mesosoma reddish-brown, except dorsal region of metapectal-propodeal disc and propodeal declivity black; metasoma and legs testaceous. Antenna clavate; antennomeres in following proportions: 9:5:5:5:3.5:3.5:3.5:4:4:6. Head ( Fig. 61C View FIGURE 61 ) dull, granulate; frontal line complete; frons with two lateral keels near orbits and directed towards antennal toruli; occipital carina complete; POL = 4; OL = 4; OOL = 4; OPL = 4; TL = 5; greatest breadth of lateral ocelli shorter than OL (2:4). Pronotum dull, strongly crossed by transverse keels, with posterior surface weakly granulate, shorter than mesoscutum (10:14) and much longer than anterior surface (10:4); pronotal tubercle reaching tegula. Mesoscutum dull, weakly granulate. Notauli incomplete, reaching approximately 0.5 × length of mesoscutum. Mesoscutellum and metanotum shiny, unsculptured. Metapectal-propodeal disc with strong transverse posterior keel, reticulate rugose; propodeal declivity with two complete longitudinal keels, lateral areas reticulate rugose and median area rugose and with areolae less wide than those of lateral areas. Forewing ( Fig. 61D View FIGURE 61 ) hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein much shorter than proximal part (3:7). Protarsomeres in following proportions: 6:2:3:10:18; protarsomere 4 much longer than basal part of 5 (10:5). Enlarged claw ( Fig. 63E View FIGURE 63 ) with proximal prominence bearing one long bristle. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 63E View FIGURE 63 ) with basal part much shorter than apical part (5:13), with two rows of 5 + 17 lamellae; apex with three lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/1/2.
