There are two species in this BIN ( M. harisridhari and M. hiroshikidonoi ) that differ by almost 2%; both share having the metasomal dark brown medio-dorsally, vein 1Cua of forewing distinctly longer than vein cu-a, and vein cu-a curved and posteriorly widened. Their barcodes form two groups with no intermediates (Suppl. material 7), as in many other orders in the ACG inventory. The two species differ in color: M. harisridhari is dark brown, whereas M. hiroshikidonoi is light reddish brown; and the brownish yellow areas of M. harisridhari are light yellow in M. hiroshikidonoi . Morphologically, M. hiroshikidonoi differs by having the first metasomal tergite subparallel-sided and slightly longer POL (0.9 × diameter of posterior ocellus vs. 0.7 × in M. harisridhari .

Etymology.

Macrocentrus hiroshikidonoi is named to honor Dr. Hiroshi Kidono of Japan, formerly of JICA, for his very direct and enthusiastic support for ACG’s Parataxonomist Program and INBio, and personally to DHJ and WH in the germination and growth of ACG and INBio.
