Glypta flavitarsus sp. nov.
( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 H, 2 H, 3 G, 4 H, 6 H, 7 H)
Description: Female (n=1: HT). Body length 8.0 mm.
Head. Ca. 0.6 times as long as wide. Clypeus 0.7 times as long as wide, roundly convex in lateral view ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 H). Face strongly convex medially ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 H), 0.4 times as long as wide. Frons with a large median horn between each antennal socket, its apex relateively rounded ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 H, 3 G). OOL 1.4 times as long as OD; POL 1.6 times as long as OD. Mandible with narrow ventral flange by basal 0.6, its base flat. MSL 1.0 times as long as BWM. Antenna with 36 flagellomeres. F1 1.6 times as long as F2.
Mesosoma. Punctate, punctures on lateral lobes of mesoscutum (excluding near notaulus) separated by 0.3–3.5 (usually ca. 2.0) times their diameter. Epomia weak and short. Lateral area of pronotum entirely punctate except for ventral area longitudinally striated. Both sides of mesoscutum near tegula weakly and obtusely produced posteriorly. Propodeum entirely punctate. Anterior transverse carina present on lateral section. Lateromedian longitudinal carina present on basal section. Lateral longitudinal carina largely absent. Posterior transverse carina of propodeum complete. Fore wing length 6.0 mm. Fore coxa with weak ridge antero-dorsally. Hind femur 6.0 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS1 2.3 times as long as TS2.
Metasoma. T1–T4 punctate ( Figs. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 H, 7 H). T1 1.2 times as long as maximum width, its median dorsal carina present on ca. basal 0.5 of tergite ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 H). T2 1.0 times as long as maximum width. T2–T4 each with moderate a pair of oblique groove ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7. T 2 H). Ovipositor sheath ca. 0.9 times as long as fore wing, 2.4 times as long as hind tibia.
Colouration. Body (excluding wings and legs) black, except for: apical part of clypeus, tip of mandible, posterior margin of each metasomal tergite tinged with reddish-brown; palpi, pedicel, flagellum, membranous parts of sternites and posterior part of subgenital plate yellowish-brown, dorsal surface of flagellum more or less darkened; posterodorsal corner of pronotum and tegula yellow; ovipositor reddish-brown to yellowish-brown. Wings hyaline; veins and pterostigma yellowish-brown except for yellow wing base. Legs (hind leg: Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 H) yellowish-brown, except for: hind femur more or less darkened apically; subbasal band of hind tibia weakly tinged with black; apical part of hind tibia black; hind tarsus blackish-brown to black with basal yellow areas on TS1–TS3 and slightly on TS4 and TS5. Basal yellow area of TS1 very large, ca. 0.8 length of TS1 and of TS2 also large, ca. 0.5 length of TS2.
Male. Unknown.
Material examined. JAPAN: [Holotype] 1F, Hokkaido Pref., Sapporo, 12. viii. 1967, K. Kusigemati leg. (KU).
Distribution ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 ). Japan (Hokkaido).
Biology. Unknown.
Etymology. The specific name is from the hind tarsus with large yellow area.
Remarks. This species can easily be distinguished from other Japanese species in the hind tarsal segments largely yellowish-brown. In colouration of hind leg, this species resembles G. monoceros Gravenhorst 1829 , but it can easily be distinguished by the yellowish-brown flagellum (blackish-brown in monoceros ) and the black metasoma (with large red area in monoceros ). This species has been confused with G. cymolomiae and its allied species but they can be distinguished from each other by the above key and Table 1 View TABLE 1 .
