Chrysoctonus apterus Mathot, 1966: 225 (description). Holotype female (IRSNB), on slide (Fig. 33) labelled as follows: 1. "Yangambi, 17.VIII.51 Lit. Forêt Leg. Obutobe". 2. "Dr. H. Debauche det. Chrysoctonus apterus Deb. Holotype ♀".
Diagnosis.
Female. Body length 495-561 (n=8). Funicle 7-segmented, with 2 mps on fl4, fl6, and fl7, and 1 mps on fl5. Vertex uniformly covered with short setae arising at interstices of reticulate sculpture, and anteromedially with a distinct cluster of short setae in a circular area (Fig. 35) where the anterior ocellus would be, if present. Meso soma entirely reticulate (Figs 36, 37) (cf. Mathot 1966), the reticulations strongest on propodeum. Metasoma (Figs 38-40) apparently without spiracle on gt6, with long, apically curled cercal setae and ovipositor distinctly exserted.
Male. Body (Fig. 30) length ~640 (crushed, head detached). Head (Fig. 23) width 160. Antenna (Fig. 25) measurements (length and width, except length only for flagellar segments): scape 130/24, pedicel 45/30, fl1 52, fl2 73, fl3 73, fl4 76, fl5 73, fl6 70, fl7 70, fl8 73, fl9 76, fl10 80, fl11 77; fl6 length/width 4.38; total flagellum length 824. Wing (Fig. 27) measurements: fore wing length/width 722/140, longest marginal setae 321; hind wing length/width 380/15, longest marginal setae 135.
Variation.
One female from Gabon, collected 29.ii.2000, has a one antenna with the funicle 6-segmented (fl3 absent) and another female collected on the same day has one funicle with fl4 and fl5 fused.
