Alloxysta pseudoconsobrina Ferrer-Suay sp. nov. ( Figure 6 View Figure 6 )
Type material: Holotype ♂ deposited in BMNH with the following label: “ ENGLAND: Surrey: Barnes Common : 12.ix.2009: J.S. Noyes, BMNH (E) 2008-118”.
Diagnosis. Alloxysta pseudoconsobrina as a brachypterous species is very similar to A. curta . They can be differentiated by the propodeal carinae, present in A. curta while absent in A. pseudoconsobrina , and the relation between F1/pedicel; F1 subequal to pedicel in A. curta but F1 longer than pedicel in A. pseudoconsobrina .
Description.
Length. Female unknown. Male: 0.75 mm.
Coloration. Head, mesosoma, and metasoma yellowish brown. Scape, pedicel, and F1 dark yellow, F3–F12 yellowish brown. Legs yellow and veins yellowish brown.
Head. Transversally ovate, smooth and shiny, slightly wider than its height in frontal view. Few setae present
FERRER-SUAY et al. / Turk J Zool below and between toruli, without setae above toruli. The area above the toruli and vertex with few scattered setae, face with many. Transfacial line 1.2 times height of compound eyes. Malar space 0.4 times height of compound eyes.
Forewing. Shorter than body, reaching the end of the metasoma; marginal setae present ( Figure 6A View Figure 6 ). Radial cell closed, 2.5 times as long as wide ( Figure 6A View Figure 6 ). R1 and Rs short and slightly curved.
Mesosoma. Pronotum covered by few sparse setae, with two thick carinae clearly visible ( Figure 6B View Figure 6 ). Mesoscutum smooth and shiny, round in dorsal view with few scattered setae. Scutellum smooth and shiny with scattered setae, being more abundant on apex of scutellum. Propodeum covered by many setae, without carinae present ( Figure 6C View Figure 6 ).
Antenna. Female unknown. Male: 14-segmented, filiform. All antennomeres covered with sparse setae. F1–F12 with rhinaria and club-shaped. F1-F3 curved. Antennal formula: 3.5 (2.0); 4.2 (1.7); 4.3 (1.8); 3.5 (1.9); 3.29 (2.0) ( Figure 6D View Figure 6 ).
Metasoma. Proximal part with an incomplete ring of setae, which is glabrous in the center and wider laterally. Remainder of metasoma smooth and shiny with terga clearly visible ( Figure 6E View Figure 6 ).
Distribution. England.
Etymology. The new species is named after the species with full wings that it resembles, A. consobrina .
