( Figs 48–52 )

Diagnosis. This species can be distinguished from all other Hymenoepimecis by the combination of the following characters: 1) hyaline wing; 2) hind leg orange, with apex of femur, tibia and tarsus blacks; 3) metasoma orange, with posterior margins of tergites II–IV narrowly black, tergites V+ black; 4) female with ovipositor 1.1–1.3 × as long as hind tibia.

Description. Female. Body [8.9] 7.0– 13.3 mm; face [0.9] 0.8–0.9 × as broad as high (from supraclypeal suture to base of antenna), smooth, slightly convex with few spaced bristles; head in dorsal view with genae strongly narrowed behind eyes; ocelli inserted at an elevation, posterior ocelli separated from eyes by [0.6] 0.6–0.75 × its own maximum diameter; occipital carina projected, slightly curved upwards in the mediodorsal part. Pronotum long, smooth and polished, with distance from tegula to head is greater than [0.62] 0.6–0.7 × distance from tegula to hind margin of propodeum with an anteriorly, and opening pocket-like structure not reduced longitudinally; mesoscutum smooth and polished; scutellum, in profile, convex; mesopleurona smooth and polished, with anterodorsal and posterodorsal parts bearing sparse, fine setiferous punctures; metapleuron smooth and polished, rather uniformly covered with sparse, fine setiferous punctures. Fore wing with [7.2] 6.0– 9.3 mm; cu-a more or less interstitial to the base Rs&M; 2 rs-m [0.3] 0.3–0.5 × as long as abscissa of M between 2 rs-m and 2 m-cu; abscissa of Cu 1 meeting 1 m-cu equidistant between Cu 1 a and Cu 1 b; hind wing with [4.8] 4.4–6.4 mm; abscissa of Cu 1 meting cu-a equidistant between M and 1 A. Hind leg with tibia + tarsus [0.6] 0.6–0.8 × the fore wing length; tarsal claw with more or less quadrangular, with apex slightly overtaking the lobe. Metasoma slender; tergite I [2.0] 1.7–2.0 × as long as posteriorly broad, centrally quite strongly convex with lateral carinae only present at extreme anterior end flanking the anterior concavity; sternite I with a low, rounded swelling posteriorly; tergite II [1.57] 1.3–1.8 × as long as posteriorly broad; tergites III–IV [1.6] 1.2–1.7 × as long as posteriorly broad; ovipositor [1.28] 1.1–1.3 × as long as hind tibia.

Coloration. Head black; clypeus yellowish, with base slightly black; mouthparts yellowish, with apex mandible black; antenna brown. Mesosoma orange. Anterior and median leg orange, the hind leg orange, with apex of femur, tibia and tarsus blacks. Wings hyaline; pterostigma brown. Metasoma orange, with tergites VI+, and with weak black lateral marks on posterior margins of tergites II–IV, tergite V with posterior half black; ovipositor pale in median part with brownish apex, sheath brown.

Male. ( Fig. 49 ). Similar to female in structure and coloration, but with tarsal claw simple; body with 6.1–9.6 mm; fore wing with 4.4–7.4 mm; face 0.9–1.1 × as broad as high. Genital capsule ( Figs 74–76 ): Paramere rounded apically, slightly narrowed than the parameral lamina, with bristles in apicodorsal margin; parameral lamina with bristles spaced, except in posterior margin; volsellar lamina with bristles in dorsolateral margin; cuspis with tooth and bristle in apical margin; digitus 0.35 × the length of cuspis + volsellar lamina, with tooth in apex, enlarged apically and angulated basally; aedeagus (including aedeagal apodeme) 0.9 × the length of paramere + parameral lamina (including parameral apodeme).

Comments. Hymenoepimecis manauara sp. n. closely resembles H. japi Sobczak, Loffredo, Penteado-Dias & Gonzaga, 2009 , mainly by having weak black lateral marks on posterior margins of tergites II–V and by having sternite I with a low, rounded swelling posteriorly. It differ from it by hyaline wings, hind leg orange with apex of femur, tibia and tarsus blacks, and by hind leg with tibia + tarsus 0.6–0.8 × the fore wing length. H. japi presented fuscous wings, hind legs blackish, with the base of coxa orange and hind leg with tibia + tarsus 0.5 × the fore wing length.
