Cryptopimpla carinifacialis Sheng, 2011 Fig. 3

Cryptopimpla carinifacialis Sheng, 2011: 32. Type: ♀, TL: China-Jiangxi; TD: MF.

Male.

Forewing 7.8 mm, body 9.3 mm long (Fig. 3A).

Head.

In dorsal view, 2.0 times as wide as long, narrowed behind roundly, densely and finely punctate, coriaceous between punctures. Diameter of median ocellus 0.9 times as long as distance between lateral ocellus and compound eye. Flagellum with 49 elongated segments; 1st flagellomere 4.0 times as long as wide. Occipital carina complete entirely, reaching hypostomal carina above base of mandible. Inner profile of basal half of flagellum without a strong longitudinal carina (present only in female). Face convex medially, 1.3 times as wide as long, coriaceous and densely punctate, with short, distinct median longitudinal carina just between and below antennal sockets (Fig. 3B). Clypeus 2.4 times as wide as long; sparsely punctured at basal half. Malar space 0.5 times as long as basal width of mandible.

Mesosoma.

Densely punctate on the coriaceous surface, 1.5 times as long as high. Notaulus short and very shallow. Epicnemial carina reaches near the ventral hind, not reaching frontal ridge of mesopleuron. Propodeum slightly straight in lateral view, posterior transverse carina weak, more evident in the middle (Fig. 3C); propodeal spiracle moderately large, oval. Legs moderately slender, hind femur 5.6 times as long as wide. Ratio of hind tarsal segments 4.8:2.3:1.6:1.0:1.2. Tarsal claws pectinate. Forewing with complete areolet narrowly petiolate; 2m-cu connects areolet in its outer angle, with two bullae; 1cu-a vein weakly postfurcal; vein 2-Cu slightly longer than 2cu-a. Hindwing with 10 distal hamuli; vein 1/cu about 3.0 times as long as cu-a, weakly reclival (Fig. 3E).

Metasoma.

1st tergite 2.0 times as long as wide, without median dorsal and lateral carinae; spiracle prominent laterally, situated well before mid tergite (Fig. 3D). Anterior three tergites punctured on coriaceous surface, matt; following tergites with fine punctures and shiny.

Color.

Body black, with numerous yellow marks; scape and pedicel from below, 11th to 18th flagellomeres, facial orbit, face, clypeus, mandible, malar space, ventral 2/3 of outer eye orbit, palpi, fore margin of pronotum widely and hind dorsal angle, two antero-lateral spots and two spots on mid mesonotum, scutellum except basally and apically, subtegular ridge, a spot on hind low ventral part of mesopleuron above mid coxa to near epicnemial carina, two spots on propodeum apically, fore and mid legs, all trochanters, hind coxa apically, basal half of hind tibia, hind tarsal segments except basal half of 1st one, all tergites apically yellow; hind femur darkened from above, red-yellow from below.

Female.

Flagellum with 46 segments. Hindwing with 9 distal hamuli. There is some variation in coloration from the original description: scape and pedicel entirely black; inner eye orbit and ventral half of outer orbit, apical half of clypeus, mandible except basally and teeth yellow; meso - and metapleuron entirely black, but propodeum with two yellow spots apically; apical part of hind basitarsus, and 2nd to 4th tarsal segments entirely yellow; 1st and 2nd tergites with two latero-apical yellow spots.

Specimens examined.
