REMARKS

According to Bouček (1976b), this species belongs to the urozonus species - group of Eupelmus . It is similar to E. martellii Masi, 1941 , described from N. Africa, in having the ovipositor about 0.8 times the hind tibia length, a reticulate scrobal depression with smooth scrobes, faintly reticulate frons, mostly bluish-green body with bronze and copper reflections without purple on the pronotal collar, a dark violet scrobal depression, and almost entirely yellowish middle legs, but it differs in having dark admarginal pronotal setae (however this is difficult to confidently appreciate accurately because of the condition of the specimen).
