Coelichneumon (Coelichneumon) fulvipes CAMERON, 1904 View in CoL , new ♀

M a t e r i a l: Laos, Hua Phan Prov., Umg. Ort Ban Saleui, Phon-Pan-Mt., 20°13´30´´N 103°59´26´´E, 1350-1900 m, 1♀ 17.04.2012 KJa, leg. C. Holzschuh & natives (Linz).

D e s c r i p t i o n of ♀: Body length 14 mm. Flagella moderately lanceolate, with 42 flagellomeres; first flagellomeres (without anellus) length 2.7x width, 13th segment square; flagellomeres beyond the middle attenuated, widest flagellomeres 1.8x as wide as long. Temples almost parallel behind eyes, roundly narrowed caudally. Clypeus, face and frons with rather scattered puncture. Genae with very scattered punctures. Distance of lateral ocelli to the eyes c.1x as long as their diameter. Malar spaces c.0.4x as long as the width of mandibular bases. Hypostomal carinae not elevated.

Mesosoma with whitish hairs. Mesoscutum with rather dense punctures and fine granulation, shining; mesopleura punctate. Scutellum moderately elevated, about as long as wide, with lateral carinae in basal 0.5, densely punctate. Propodeum rounded, areae basalis and superomedia confluent, costulae obsolete ( fig. 9 View Figs 8-13 ). 1 st lateral areae of propodeum punctate and smoothened, area petiolaris with transverse striation. Hind coxae densely punctate, with distinct scopa in apical 0.25. Hind femora punctate, with scattered punctures in the ventral third, length 3.6x height. 3 rd tarsomeres of middle legs c.1.5x as long as wide. Areolets pentagonal, frontal distances of intercubiti c.2x their width, nervuli postfurcal.

Metasoma strongly oxypygous. Lateral fields of postpetiole c.0.5x as wide as median field, with scattered puncture, median field with 10-12 fine punctured striae. Gastrocoeli strongly impressed, with longitudinal ridges. Thyridiae oblique, 1.0x as wide as their interval. 2 nd tergite length 0.9x width ( fig. 15 View Figs 14-19 ). 2 nd and 3 rd tergites with dense puncture and fine central aciculation, matte; fourth tergite with fine superficial punctures, shining; following tergites almost smooth and strongly shining. Seen from dorsal, ovipositor sheaths c.0.75x as long as seventh tergite.

Color: black, metasoma without bluish shine. Ivory are stripes on flagellomeres 8-16, palps, mandibular bases, clypeus except median black spot, face except large black cen- tral spot, genae, frontal and vertical orbits (narrowly interrupted), lower outer orbits, collare and upper margins of pronotum, subtegular ridges, spots on tegulae, small spots on lower mesopleura frontal to epicnemial carina, sides of scutellum, frontal sides of black fore and middle coxae, and fore and middle trochanters and trochantelli. Hind coxae and hind trochanters basally black, legs otherwise completely yellowish-red. Wings slightly infuscate, pterostigmas blackish.

R e m a r k: This new taxon is related to C. birmanicus HEINRICH , but differs by its completely reddish hind femora, black mesoscutum without ivory median stripes and small mesopleural spots instead of large and wide stripes. I have not seen the 3 of C. fulvipes CAMERON , but given his detailed description I suppose that the available $ is conspecific.
