( Figs. 1g –h , 13 , 27d ) Gasteruption sp. I : Macedo, 2009: 7 (cladistic analysis). Etymology. The epithet for this species is in honor of Dr. John Huber, curator of Hymenoptera, Canadian National Collection of Insects. Diagnosis. Differs from other Neotropical species by the combination of the following characters: propodeum with ill-defined areoles, almost smooth laterally ( Fig. 27d ); metapleuron with a large smooth portion ventrally; mesepisternum almost smooth ventrally; mesoscutum punctulate to rugulose ( Fig. 13c ); metacoxa striate ( Fig. 27d ); occipital carina narrow dorsal and wider laterally ( Fig. 13b ); ovipositor sheath longer than metasoma ( Fig. 13e ); and fore wing discal cell absent in the female ( Fig. 1g ), but petiolate in the male ( Fig. 1h ). Description. Female ( Fig. 13e ). Length: 11.6 mm (n=1); ovipositor sheath length 0.90 × body length. Head. Subtrapezoidal in dorsal view, wider than long ( Fig. 13a ), punctulate; mandible pre-apical tooth distinct; malar space short, almost separated from gena; posterior ocellus inserted at the level of upper eye margin; occipital carina narrow dorsally and laterally ( Fig. 13b ). Head length 1.14 × eye length; eye length 19.67 × malar space; distance from posterior ocellus to occipital margin 1.42 × distance between posterior ocelli; 1 st flagellomere 1.00 × as long as scape, 1.44 × as long as pedicel, 0.52 × as long as 2 nd flagellomere. Color: black, clypeus with anterior portion lighter than remaining, scape yellow brown, pedicel and 1 st flagellomere dark brown, remaining flagellum yellow brown. Mesosoma. Propleuron imbricate; pronotal process distinct; pronotum imbricate, area between lobes rugulose to crenulate; mesonotum rounded in lateral view ( Fig. 13d ); mesoscutum punctulate to rugulose ( Fig. 13c ); mesoscutelum punctulate; mesepisternum imbricate, almost smooth ventrally; mesepimeron rugulose; metapleuron areolate, ventral region with a large smooth portion; propodeum with ill-defined areoles, almost smooth laterally, longitudinal carina distinct ( Fig. 27d ); metacoxa finely striate. Mesosoma (excluding propleuron) 1.88 × as long as high; propleuron 1.62 × longer than its largest wide, 1.07 × pronotum length; metacoxa 2.70 × as long as wide; metatibia 4.45 × as long as wide, 1.36 × as long as femur, 3.07 × as long as 1 st tarsomere. Fore wing discal cell absent ( Fig. 1g ) (present, but very reduced in male, Fig. 1h ); hind wing with 3 hamuli, not equidistant. Color: propleuron and mesonotum black; pronotum black, with ventral lobe red brown; mesopleuron and metapleuron black dorsally and red brown ventrally; propodeum black near metasoma insertion, red brown in remaining portions; fore and middle legs with coxa black, trochanter, femur and tibia red brown, tibia with a yellow longitudinal stripe, tarsus yellow; hind leg with coxa, trochanter, femur and tibia dark brown, subbasal portion of tibia yellow, proximal half of 1 st tarsomere dark brown, distal half yellow, remaining tarsomeres dark brown. FIGURE 13. Gasteruption huberi . a: head in dorsal view; b: head in lateral view; c: mesonotum in dorsal view; d: mesosoma in lateral view; e. habitus. Scale bar: 1.0 mm. Metasoma. Imbricate, 2.97 × as long as mesosoma; subgenital sternun notched, Y-shaped; ovipositor sheath 1.41 × as long as metasoma. Color: terga mostly dark brown, with posterior regions red brown; ovipositor sheath dark brown, with apex yellow brown. Male. Similar to female; left hind wing with reduced petiolate discal cell ( Fig. 1h ), which is absent in right wing; hind tarsus usually entirely dark brown. Geographic distribution: Jamaica.
