CHILIMALOPSIS PARVULA TORO

FEMALE DESCRIPTION: Head: Integument without setae or special microscopic texture. Vertex without tubercles; other cephalic areas without large or small tubercles or varicosities.

Mesosoma: Integument without setae or special microscopic texture. Lateral angle of pronotum somewhat swollen; posterior lobe of pronotum enlarged. Mesepisternum without swelling or tubercles; mesoscutum nearly smooth, with only faint paramedian varicosities; axilla not produced; mesoscutellum with paramedian pair of erect, small, apically rounded tubercles; metanotum with pair of paramedian tubercles that are so small that they might be overlooked. Tegula apparently without varicosities; wings without tubercles. Because of limited study material, basal leg segments not examined; hind tibia without basitibial swelling; apical tibial tubercle on outer surface moderately large; basitarsus large, expanding apically before ending.

Metasoma: Integument in some areas with microscopic granular texture. T 1 apparently without tubercles, or if present too small to be certainly detected; T 2– T 5 each with subapical row of erect, sharp-pointed tubercles; sublateral tubercles of each row tending to be most strongly developed; those of T 2 very small and those of T 2– T 5 longer; T 6 without tubercles or spines; metasomal apex ending in nonspined, broadly acute, single point. Sterna unremarkable.

MALE DESCRIPTION: Unknown.

MATERIAL STUDIED: One female pupa: Chile: Elqui Province: 26 km S Vicuña XI-01-1992 (J.G. Rozen) .
