Clypeolabus curtitarsis HEINRICH (Plate 38)

Clypeolabus curtitarsis HEINRICH 1974 - Ann. Zool. Wars. 32 (8): 142-143, ♀. F e m a l e

F l a g e l l u m: Slender, with 33 segments, beyond middle only just remarkably widened and flattened ventrally, with white annulus on segments 11-12(13), gradually attenuated toward apex; basal segments long, first segment 4 times longer than width at apex, segment 16 square. Flagellum equal by length to front wing and shorter than body length.

H e a d: Head contour from front roundish, 1,4 times wider than height; genae long, roundly narrowed downwards, 4 times shorter than height of eye; head contour from above transversal, 1,5 times wider than length. Vertex from lateral convex, gradually slanting down to occipital carina; temples from above slightly roundly narrowed behind eyes, equal by width to longitudinal diameter of an eye at middle; occipital carina from above gradually impressed to ocelli, far not reach level of eyes and hind ocelli, from lateral parallel to hind margin of eye; occipital carina not meeting with hypostomal carina, abrupt before it; hypostomal carina before mandible base strongly widened; malar space equal to mandible base width; mandibles with form character to tribe, behind base gradually narrowed to apex; clypeus slightly convex at middle, without lateral corners and straight front margin, forming in front uniform arch from base to base of mandible, slightly separated from face; clypeal foveae deep, narrow; labrum practically not protrude from under clypeus; middle field of face narrow, in middle some narrower than lateral field, very slightly elevated above lateral fields; antennal cavities slightly (moderately) impressed without lateral tubercles, with strong tooth between antennal fossae, laterally reach internal margins of eyes and far not reach front ocellus level; diameter of lateral ocellus 1,8 times less than distance from ocellus to eye; ocellar triangle distinctly elevated. Clypeus and middle field of face very densely and roughly punctured, shining, middle field of face in upper part wrinkly-punctured; frons wrinkly-punctured, shining.

T h o r a x: Collar of pronotum long, transverse furrow shallow, almost not expressed. Mesonotum moderately convex equal by length to breadth, notauli visible only in front third; surface of mesonotum very densely wrinkly-punctured, without microsculpture, only lateral lobes slightly shining; subalarum narrow, but not sharpened; speculum roughly punctured, slightly shining same as other part of mesopleurae, mesopleural fovea deeply impressed; sternauli developed up to middle of mesopleurae; surface of mesopleurae wrinkly-punctured, slightly shining; scutellum moderately elevated above postscutellum, convex, laterally carinated up to apex, gradually sloped, horizontal part densely punctured by big punctures. Hind margin of metanotum with long bacilliform projections opposite lateral longitudinal carinae. Propodeum from lateral of broken type, horizontal part of propodeum two times shorter than area posteromedia in middle, with developed carinae with exception of costulae and coxal carina; area basalis deep, area superomedia 1,5 times wider than length, with high carina limited its from behind; areae dentiparae with short tooth-like projections, apical transverse carina strongly widened; spiracles of propodeum longish-oval, 1,2-1,3 times longer than width, of moderate size (equal 0,5 breadth of area spiraculifera at place of spiracle). Surface of propodeum, including metapleurae, very roughly punctured (interspaces narrower than punctures), to wrinkle-punctured (second lateral field) without microsculpture.

L e g s: Strong, long; hind tarsi of females shortened and thickened. Claws short, slightly curved.

W i n g s: Areolet quadrangular, almost symmetrical (external intercubitus only just longer than internal); stigma dark, narrow; radius very slightly sinuous, long; nervulus interstitial; ramulus only just marked; membrane of wing hyaline. Front wing only 1,1 shorter than body length.

A b d o m e n Oval, rather short, flattened dorso-ventrally, apical tergites hidden, but visible from above; second tergite wider than length; sheath of ovipositor not protrude. Petiolus broad with strong lateral carinae, from lateral gradually transform to slightly widened from above postpetiolus; middle field of postpetiolus slightly expressed, wider than lateral fields; distance between spiracles equal to distance from spiracles to apex, surface smooth, shining with only just visible rugosity. Gastrocoeli deep, considerably wider than interval between them with large, slightly oblique thyridia, closed to base of tergite; lunulae large, slightly elevated; second tergite very densely and roughly punctured, without microsculpture, shining; punctuation of tergite 3 more delicate, other tergites smooth. Hypopygium pointed, flat, without longitudinal fold.

C o l o r a t i o n. Head and thorax black with slight yellow pattern: internal and external orbits, margins of pronotum, subalarum and apex of scutellum. Abdomen red-black, apical tergites with light-colored border. Legs brown-red, apices of hind femora and tibiae darkened.

S i z e: Body length: 8.0; front wing: 7,5; flagellum: 6.5-?7.0, mm.
