Gonatopus schierli Olmi 2011: 63 .

Description. ♀. Apterous; body length 3.1 mm. Completely testaceous-reddish, except petiole black. Antenna cla- vate; antennomeres in following proportions: 10:4:13:7:6:6:5:5:5:7. Head excavated ( Fig. 239G ), shiny, slightly granulate, with occiput more strongly granulate; frontal line complete; temple distinct; occipital carina incomplete, shortly present behind and on sides of lateral ocelli; POL = 2; OL = 2; OOL = 9; greatest breadth of lateral ocelli about as long as POL. Palpal formula 5/2. Pronotum crossed by strong transverse impression, shiny, unsculptured, except lateral regions granulate. Mesoscutum less than twice as long as broad (10:6), with two pointed apophyses laterally ( Fig. 239H ). Metanotum transversely striate, excavated behind mesoscutellum ( Fig. 239I ). Sides of metanotum protruding; lateral protrusions of metanotum rounded ( Fig. 239H ). Metapectal-propodeal disc shiny, unsculptured, with deep median longitudinal furrow; propodeal declivity transversely striate. Mesopleuron and metapleuron transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture distinct and complete, step shaped. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 14:3:5:17:28. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 236C ) with one small subapical tooth and six small lamellae + one bristle. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 236C ) with two rows of 5 (proximal) + 26 lamellae; apex with at least 17 lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.
