Gonatopus delvarei Olmi 1995d: 134 .

Description. ♀. Apterous; body length 3.2–3.3 mm. Head and mesosoma brown-reddish; antenna brown, except scape and pedicel testaceous; metasoma black; legs brown, except tarsi light; antenna clavate; antennomeres in following proportions: 9:6:12:9:7:6.5:6:5:5:7. Head excavated, shiny, unsculptured, except occiput, temple and lower frons granulate; frontal line complete; occipital carina absent; POL = 1; OL = 3; OOL = 7. Palpal formula 4/2. Pronotum crossed by strong transverse impression, shiny, unsculptured, except few striae in transversal furrow. Mesoscutum very slender, shiny, approximately twice as long as broad (10:5), with few longitudinal striae, without lateral pointed apophyses ( Fig. 208I ). Mesoscutellum flat, shiny, unsculptured. Meso-metapleural suture distinct and complete. Metanotum flat, about coplanar to mesoscutellum ( Fig. 209A ). Metapectal-propodeal disc with strong median longitudinal furrow, with slight irregular striae; mesopleuron, metapleuron, propodeal declivity and lateral regions of metapectal-propodeal disc strongly transversely striate; top of metapectal-propodeal disc partly transversely striate. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 14:3:4:13:20. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 211C ) with one small subapical tooth and one row of one bristle + six peg-like bristles. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 211C ) with one row of 20 lamellae; apex with approximately nine lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.
