Diagnosis.
Neocardiochiles alexeyi sp. nov. can be distinguished from other members of the Neocardiochiles by the combination of the following characters: antenna 34-segmented and with pale apex (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ); glossa ~ 2.0 × longer than height of clypeus (Fig. 2D View Figure 2 ); scutellar sulcus moderately impressed (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ); mesoscutum entirely dark; hind femur entirely pale; anterior width of median furrow of propodeum ~ 0.83 × longer than maximum width (Fig. 2E View Figure 2 ); T1 ~ 2.22 × longer than its posterior width; lateral sutures of T1 nearly parallel (Fig. 2E View Figure 2 ); T2 ~ 0.49 × longer than its posterior width (Fig. 2E View Figure 2 ); ovipositor sheath ~ 0.62 × longer than length of hind tibia (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ).

Description.
Body ~ 7.04 mm. Head: Antenna 34-segmented. Face width ~ 1.36 × wider than high (1.01:0.74). Width of anterior ocellus as long as POL (010:0.10). Eyes bulged and without interommatidial setae; median width of eye about ~ 1.23 × longer than the median width of gena in lateral view (0.37:0.30). Clypeus 2.20 × longer than its height (0.55:0.25). Galea 1.64 × longer than height of clypeus (0.41:0.25), relatively longer than other members of the genus. Glossa 1.96 × longer than height of clypeus (0.49:0.25). Occipital carina absent. Mesosoma: Notauli weakly impressed at anterior two thirds and absent posteriorly. Scutellar sulcus straight, moderately impressed, medially shallow, laterally relatively deep, without crenula. Pronotum mostly smooth, with ventral longitudinal carina. Metapleuron mostly smooth. Propodeum ~ 0.48 × longer than its median width (0.40:0.83); median longitudinal furrow present, nearly rectangle, anteriorly opened posteriorly closed by nucha, anterior width ~ 0.83 × longer than maximum width (0.05:0.06). Legs: Basal spur on mid tibia ~ 0.60 × longer than length of basitarsus (0.38:0.63). Basal spur on hind tibia ~ 0.54 × longer than length of basitarsus (0.60:1.11). Wings: Fore wing (RS+M)a present; second submarginal cell trapezoid, ~ 2.81 × longer than height (1.32:0.47); 1r absent; 3r absent; 3RSb evenly curved. Hind wing 2r-m absent; 2-1A absent. Metasoma: T1 ~ 2.22 × longer than its posterior width (0.91:0.41), anterior width ~ 0.83 × longer than posterior width (0.34:0.41), dorsally nearly rectangle; Y-shaped suture present. T2 nearly rectangle, ~ 0.49 × longer than its posterior width (0.35:0.71), with straight posterior margin. Hypopygium with median fold. Ovipositor sheath nearly straight, ~ 0.62 × longer than length of hind tibia (1.31:2.11), evenly setose except for base.
Color.
Body mostly yellowish pale. The following areas dark: basal antenna (mostly), head, mandible, mesonotum, pronotum, mesopleuron, metapleuron, middle coxa, hind coxa, apical hind tibia, apical hind tarsi, apical metasoma. Fore wing with two bands; stigma mostly pale.
Etymology.
Named in honor of Dr. Alexey K. Tishechkin, staff in the Plant Pest Diagnostics Branch, California Department of Food & Agriculture and a former member of the Louisiana State Arthropod Museum at LSU AgCenter, who collected the specimen in Ecuador.
