Type material.
Holotype: female, South Korea: "Gyeonggi-do, Pocheon-si, Soheul-eup, 37°45'29.2"N, 127°10'0.4"E, 15.VI.2015, Park, Choi, Nam, Shin, Kim" (NIBR). Paratype: female, "Jeollabuk-do, Gunsan-si, Okdo-myeon, Sinsido-ri, malaise trap, 04-18.VIII.2017, H.G. Lee" (ZISP).
Description.
Female. Body length 1.10-1.30 mm; fore wing length 0.80-1.05 mm.
Coloration. Head and mesosoma black. Antenna with scape black, pedicel and flagellum brown. All coxae black, all femora and tibiae brown, tarsi yellowish-brown. Fore wing hyaline, venation yellowish-brown. Metasoma dark brown partially with metallic coppery-violet lustre; ovipositor sheaths brown.
Sculpture. Head reticulate; clypeus alutaceous. Mesosoma with pronotum and mesoscutum reticulate; axillae weakly reticulate; scutellum alutaceous or weakly alutaceous and shiny; propodeum reticulate, nucha alutaceous; petiole weakly reticulate. Metasoma weakly alutaceous and shiny.
Head. Head in dorsal view 2.20-2.29 times as broad as long and 1.22-1.24 times as broad as mesoscutum; in frontal view 1.16-1.20 times as broad as high. POL 1.13-1.21 times as long as OOL. Eye height 1.52-1.54 times eye length and 1.80-2.00 times as long as malar space. Distance between antennal toruli and lower margin of clypeus 0.35-0.41 times distance between antennal toruli and median ocellus. Antenna with scape 1.00-1.05 times as long as eye height and 1.52-1.61 times as long as eye length; pedicel 1.14-1.21 times as long as broad and 1.30-1.40 times as long as F1; combined length of pedicel and flagellum 0.77-0.81 times breadth of head; F1-F5 transverse, all with 1 row of sensilla; clava 1.89-2.05 times as long as broad, with small micropilosity area on C3 and C4.
Mesosoma. Mesosoma 1.76-1.80 times as long as broad. Pronotum 0.75-0.85 times as long as mesoscutum. Scutellum 0.85-0.90 times as long as broad. Propodeum medially as long as scutellum; nucha 0.20-0.25 times length of propodeum. Fore wing 2.20-2.23 times as long as maximum width; basal cell, cubital vein and basal vein pilose; speculum closed below; M 2.00-2.16 times as long as PM and 1.78-1.93 times as long as S.
Metasoma. Metasoma 1.77-1.84 times as long as broad, 0.90-1.05 times as long as mesosoma and 0.78-0.86 times as long as mesosoma and head. Petiole 1.70-1.80 times as long as broad. Mt2 0.40-0.43 times median length of metasoma; Mt8 1.10-1.20 times longer than maximum width. Ovipositor sheath projecting slightly beyond apex of metasoma.
Male. Unknown.
Etymology.
The species is named in honour of the "Star Wars" character - “Jedi” of George Lucas.
Distribution.
Korean Peninsula.
Remarks.
This species is similar to P. europaeus Bouček, 1964 (Figs 18 View Figures 14–19 , 19 View Figures 14–19 ) in having black coloration of the head and mesosoma; S of the fore wing with a relatively small stigma; lower margin of the clypeus strongly protruding. However, Platecrizotes jedii sp. nov. has the fore wing with PM shorter than S (vs PM longer than S), M 5.65-6.06 times as long as broad and the proximally widened part occupying 0.50 of the vein length (vs M 3.80-4.90 times as long as broad and proximally widened part occupying 0.80 of vein length), speculum closed below (vs open); petiole 1.70-1.90 times as long as broad (vs 0.50-0.60); and all tibiae brown (vs yellowish-brown).
