Glypta daisetsuzana sp. nov.

( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 E, 2 E, 3 D, 4 E, 6 E, 7 E)

Description: Female (n=1: HT). Body length 7.0 mm.

Head. Ca. 0.6 times as long as wide. Clypeus 0.7 times as long as wide, roundly convex in lateral view ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 E). Face weakly convex medially ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 E), 0.5 times as long as wide. Frons with a small median horn between each antennal socket, its apex relateively pointed ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 E, 3 D). OOL 1.6 times as long as OD; POL 1.8 times as long as OD. Mandible with narrow ventral flange by basal 0.7, its base slightly convex. MSL 0.8 times as long as BWM. Antenna with 36 flagellomeres. F1 1.5 times as long as F2.

Mesosoma. Densely punctate, punctures on lateral lobes of mesoscutum (excluding near notaulus) separated by 0.3–2.0 (usually ca. 1.0) times their diameter. Epomia weak and short. Lateral area of pronotum entirely punctate except for ventral area longitudinally striated. Both sides of mesoscutum near tegula weakly and obtusely produced posteriorly. Propodeum entirely densely punctate except for narrow smooth area present anteriorly. Anterior transverse carina of propodeum weakly present on lateral section. Lateromedian longitudinal carina of propodeum present on anterior and median section. Lateral longitudinal carina of propodeum largely obscured. Posterior transverse carina of propodeum complete. Fore wing length 6.5 mm. Fore coxa without ridge anterodorsally. Hind femur 6.5 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS1 2.1 times as long as TS2.

Metasoma. T1–T4 densely punctate ( Figs. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 E, 7 E). T1 1.4 times as long as maximum width, its median dorsal carina present on ca. basal 0.5 of tergite ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 E), slightly longitudinally striated posteriorly. T2 0.9 times as long as maximum width. T2–T4 each with moderate a pair of oblique groove ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7. T 2 E). Ovipositor sheath ca. 0.9 times as long as fore wing, 2.5 times as long as hind tibia.

Colouration. Body (excluding wings and legs) black, except for: apical part of clypeus, mandible excluding apex and base, palpi, posterodorsal corner of pronotum, tegula, membranous parts of sternites and posterior part of subgenital plate yellow to yellowish-brown; posterior margin of each metasomal tergite tinged with reddish-brown; flagellum blackish-brown, its ventral surface more or less paler than dorsal surface; ovipositor reddish-brown to yellowish-brown. Wings hyaline; veins and pterostigma brown except for yellow wing base. Legs (hind leg: Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 E) reddish-brown, except for: hind femur slightly darkened apically; basal and apical parts of hind tibia black; hind tibial spurs blackish-brown; hind tarsus blackish-brown to black with basal narrow yellow areas on TS1–TS3. Basal yellow areas of TS1 ca. 0.1 length of TS1.

Male. Unknown.

Material examined. JAPAN: [Holotype] 1F, Hokkaido Pref., Mt. Daisetsu, 26. vii. 1967, K. Kusigemati leg. (KU).

Distribution ( Fig. 11 View FIGURE 11 ). Japan (Hokkaido).

Biology. Unknown.

Etymology. The specific name is from the type locality, Mt. Daisetsu.

Remarks. This species closely resembles G. karasawensis in the small frontal horn and the colouration of hind leg and metasoma, but it can be distinguished by the lateral margin of frontal horn not produced inward (produced inward in karasawensis ) and the T1 1.4 time as long as maximum width (1.2 times in karasawensis ).
