Tuberatra n. gen.

Type species. Tuberatra curvicauda n. sp.

Diagnosis. This genus is morphologically similar to Pioscelus Muesebeck & Walkley, 1951 , however, it differs mainly by the absence of two parallel carinae or converging grooves in the second metasomal tergum ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ), median area of propleuron with a ridge-like swelling in lateral view ( Fig. 2B View FIGURE 2 ); and propodeum with a pair of small lateral spines ( Fig. 2E View FIGURE 2 ).

Description. Body length: 24–28 mm; clypeus smooth and with some setae inserted into punctuations; face smooth; occipital carina present, meeting hypostomal carina; propleuron with a ridge-like swelling in lateral view ( Fig. 2B View FIGURE 2 ); mesoscutum declivous anteriorly; median mesonotal lobe with sharped lateral corners; propodeum with two diverging carinae instead of a straight median carina, lateral carinae present; propodeum basal median areas coriaceous; propodeal areola rugose; propodeum with a pair of small lateral spines ( Fig. 2E View FIGURE 2 ); fore wing r vein equal to 3RSa length; 2RS nebulous, and considered absent; r-m present; first subdiscal cell open at the apex, 2cu-a absent; hind wing M+CU 0.6 length of vein 1M; hind coxa angled at the base but without basal tubercle; first metasomal tergum length twice its apical width; basal sternal plate about 0.4 length of the first tergum; second metasomal tergum striated, without carinae or grooves ( Fig. 2D View FIGURE 2 ); ovipositor smaller than the metasoma.

Distribution. Brazil (State of Amazonas and São Paulo).

Biology. Unknown

Etymology. The genus name is from the Latin tuber and the Latin ater in reference to the propleuron ridge-like swelling and the black color of the specimen.
