27. E. hansonorum View in CoL sp. nov. ( Fig. 10v View FIGURE 10 )

This species seems to be more related to E. dispilus (see comments above on this species), but Table 3 provides most of the characteristics to separate both species. It is not clear to me if this could be a new variation of E. dispilus , but Gauld himself examined the specimens and concluded they represent a new species, so I am following his opinion.

DESCRIPTION. HEAD: Mandibles moderately long and stout, without a small proximoventral lobe, more or less parallelsided distally, apically twisted about 40º; upper mandibular tooth pointed, 1.2 times as long as the lower tooth; outer mandibular surface with scattered pubescence, with a proximoventral concavity. Labrum 0.25 times as long as broad; malar space 0.42 (0.33–0.43) times as long as basal mandibular width. Clypeus in profile weakly convex, margin blunt; clypeus in front view 1.5 times as broad as long. Head in dorsal view with posterior ocellus very close, almost touching eye; FI = 50–60 %. Occipital carina complete, joining to hypostomal carina about 0.6 times the basal mandibular width away from mandible. Antenna from more than 65 flagellar segments (the specimen lacks some final segments) to 72; 20th segment 1.8 times as long as broad. MESOSOMA: Mesoscutum polished, finely punctate; notauli weak but discernible. Mesopleuron finely punctate, the lower part from punctostriate to striate; epicnemial carina inclined towards anterior margin of pleuron. Scutellum in profile moderately convex, laterally carinate, in dorsal view 1.2 times as long as anteriorly broad; punctate, especially at base. Metapleuron moderately convex, from punctate to almost striate. Submetapleural carina usually evenly anteriorly broadened; posterior transverse carina of mesosternum complete. Propodeum in profile declivous; anterior transverse carina complete, posterior transverse carina absent; anterior area striate; spiracular area punctured; posterior area wrinkled to reticulate, with one longitudinal rugae; lateral longitudinal carina absent. Fore wing length 17 mm; AI = 0.80; CI = 0.43 (0.38–0.42); ICI = 0.41; SDI = 1.13 (1–1.16); cu a proximal to the base of Rs & M by 0.24 times its own length; marginal cell proximally uniformly hirsute. Hind wing with 8–9 hamuli on R1; 1st and 2nd abscissa of RS straight. Middle leg with longer tibial spur 1.33 times length of the shorter. Hind leg with coxa in profile 1.8 times as long as deep; tarsus and claws of specimens destroyed. METASOMA: Metasoma long and slender; tergite 2 in profile 5.7 (5.3–6.2) times as long as posteriorly deep, thyridia elliptical and separated from anterior margin of tergite by 4.6 times its own length. Ovipositor slender. COLOUR: Brownish, with metasoma more orange brownish; and with head (including interocellar area), tegulas and scutello more yellowish. Antenna and pterostigma orangebrownish; wings infumate.

ETYMOLOGY: This species is named in honor of the Hanson’s family (Lorraine, Carolina and Dr. Paul) as a gesture of thanks for kindly hosting me during my stay at the Instituto Nacional de Biodiversidad (INBio, Costa Rica) where I started to study Ophioninae , and for give me very valuable literature to carry out researches on Cuban Ichneumonidae .
