Diagnosis
Handaoia mercedensis Bordera sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other New World species by the combination of the following characters: apophysis of propodeum conspicuously elevated, parallelsided with blunt tip ( Fig. 4G View Fig , arrow); fore wing with well-defined transverse dark brown band ( Fig. 4A View Fig ); juxtacoxal carina strong, irregular, joining submetapleural carina at mid length ( Fig. 4F View Fig , arrow); flagellum dark brown (except white band), with first and second flagellomeres light brown ( Fig. 4A–B View Fig ).
Etymology
The name refers to La Merced, municipality of Chanchamayo in the Department of Junin ( Peru), where the holotype was collected.
Material examined
Known only from the holotype female.
Holotype PERU • ♀; La Merced , Fundo La Génova ; Trampa Malaise 3; 3–17 Jan. 2009; AECID 013484/07 ; CEUA.
Description
Female
MEASUREMENTS. Body length (without ovipositor) 4.3 mm. Fore wing 3.4 mm long.
HEAD. Finely granulate, matt, strongly narrowed behind eyes, occiput very concave centrally in dorsal view ( Fig. 4C View Fig ); gena 0.18 × length of eye in dorsal view; posterior ocellus separated from eye by 1.3× its own maximum diameter; distance between posterior ocelli 0.9 × maximum ocellar diameter ( Fig. 4C View Fig ); occipital carina gently V-shaped medially; malar space about 1.4× basal width of mandible; face slightly swollen medially; clypeus ( Fig. 4B View Fig ) quite convex, gently granulate, with scattered coarse punctures in apical half, apex slightly rounded, about 2.0× as wide as high; mandible quite tapered to apex, ventral tooth of mandible a little shorter than upper tooth; maxillary palp reaching mid coxa; flagellum widened in middle, tapered towards apex, flagellomeres 8–20 flattened ventrally ( Fig. 4A View Fig ); flagellum with 22 segments, length-thickness ratios: 1 st segment = 5.0, 2 nd = 5.38 and 10 th = 1.0.
MESOSOMA. Finely granulate and matt ( Fig. 4C–D View Fig );mesoscutum slightly convex, notauli absent ( Fig. 4C View Fig ); scutellum moderately convex, without lateral carinae; sternaulus deep, exceeding half the length of mesopleuron ( Fig. 4D View Fig ); juxtacoxal carina strong, irregular, joining submetapleural carina at mid length ( Fig. 4F View Fig , arrow); propodeum ( Fig. 1C View Fig ) with strong and conspicuous carinae; area superomedia confluent with area basalis and separated from area petiolaris; inner side of area externa about 4.7× as long as inner side of area dentipara; inner side of area dentipara about 0.3× length of outer side; area spiracularis confluent with area lateralis; posterior transverse carina strong, forming an elevate apophysis joining lateral longitudinal carina, apophysis parallel-sided with blut tip ( Fig. 4G View Fig , arrow). Length of hind femur about 4.0× its height. Hind wing with vein cu-a 0.5 as long as abscissa of CU between M and cu-a.
METASOMA. Tergite I ( Fig. 1C View Fig ) finely granulate, slightly shiny, 1.77 × as long as its maximum width; postpetiole laterally not finely strigose; lateromedian longitudinal carina moderately strong, reaching about 0.7× length of tergite; lateral longitudinal carina complete; tergite II ( Fig. 4E View Fig ) shiny, very slightly granulate anteriorly, glabrous, smooth posteriorly, with moderately dense short setae; remaining tergites ( Fig. 4E View Fig ) smooth and shiny with inconspicuous dense setiferous punctures. Ovipositor sheath 0.53 × as long as hind tibia.
COLOUR. Head ( Fig. 4A–D View Fig ) orange brown, vertical orbits and interocellar area dark brown; palpi dark brown; mandibular teeth black; antenna with scape, pedicel and flagellomeres 1–2 light brown, remaining flagellomeres dark brown, flagellomeres 4–7 and base of 8 dorsally white ( Fig. 4A View Fig ). Mesosoma ( Fig. 4A, C–D View Fig ) entirely orange-brown. Metasoma ( Fig. 4E View Fig ) except tergite I dark brown, tergite I light brown. Fore and mid legs ( Fig. 4A View Fig ) light brown, tarsi fuscous; hind leg dark brown, trochanter and base of tibia white. Wings slightly infuscate, fore wing with well-defined transverse dark brown band ( Fig. 4A View Fig ).
