Admonitosoter rafiqui Mahmood, Quicke & Papp , sp. nov. ( Figs 3 View FIGURE 3 c-f, 4, 5)
Female: Length of body 9 mm, of forewing 7.4 mm, and length of exerted part of ovipositor 4.8 mm.
Head: Antennae with more than 29 flagellomeres (damaged); 1st flagellomere 1.3 times longer than second and third; scape 4.0 times as long as pedicel. Inter-tentorial distance 0.9 times tentorio-ocular distance. Face setose, fovate with median longitudinal carina ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 f), transverse in frontal view (1.3 times wider than high), width of face 0.58 times width of head. Head smooth and shiny ( Fig. 3 View FIGURE 3 e), transverse in dorsal view, 1.6 times broader than long, without frontal suture, head extended dorsally considerably above to level of eyes. Eye height 0.8 times width of face, eye glabrous in dorsal view. Temple not strongly receding behind eyes. Stemmaticum with round edges, posterior ocellar line: transverse diameter of posterior ocellus: shortest distance between posterior ocellus to eye = 1.4:1.0:2.6.
Mesosoma: Almost entirely smooth and shiny, sparsely setose ( Figs 4 View FIGURE 4 a&b), mostly yellow brown, 1.6 times longer than maximally high. Pronotum completely smooth laterally. Mesoscutum shiny; notauli distinctly impressed on mesoscutum. Mesopleural sulcus absent. Scutellar sulcus narrow and finely crenulate. Propodeum fovate and with sparsely distributed setae.
Wings: Forewing ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 c). Ratio of length of veins SR1:3-SR:r = 5.5:2.7:1.0. Ratio of length of veins 2- SR:3-SR:r-m=1.5:2.3:1.0. Veins 2-M & 3-SR, 3.4 times & 2.3 times as long as r-m, respectively. Vein 1-M straight and vein 1-SR+M slightly curved. Vein cu-a interstitial to marginally post furcal. Veins 1-M and m-cu distinctly curving towards anterior wing margin. Ratio of length of veins 1-M:m-cu=1.3:1.0. Vein 3-CU1 curved and thickened posteriorly. Vein CU1a curved interiorly. Hind wing. Evenly setose. Vein 1r-m thickened in the middle. Vein SC+R1 2.3 times length of 1r-m.
Legs: Claw with basal lobe ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 d), fore and mid tarsal claw strongly curved. Apex of fore tibia with one spur. Ratio of length of hind femur:tibia:basitarsus = 2.1:2.8:1.0. Hind femur (excluding trochantellus) 2.8 times longer than maximally deep, broadest at middle, rather flattened laterally, sparsely setose. Hind tibia entirely setose. Hind basitarsus 3.75 times longer than maximally deep. Outer hind tibial spur reaching approximately 0.5 along basitarsus.
Metasoma: Sparsely setose and foveolate ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 e). First tergite with well developed dorso-lateral carinae ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 e), weakly crenulated. Second tergite finely and weakly crenulated, with clearly defined antero-lateral areas ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 f). Second metasomal suture narrow. Second and third metasomal tergites almost equal in length. Posterior margin of tergites 3-5 with spinules and with a median notch ( Figs 5 View FIGURE 5 a-c). Posterior margin of tergite 6 emarginated, without spinules ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 d). Ovipositor with a pre-apical dorsal nodus and lower valve of ovipositor with teeth ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 e).
Coloration: Yellow brown except antennae, stemmaticum, frons, apex of mandibles, mesoscutum, tarsal claw and ovipositor sheath which are black. Wings almost clear, venation and pterostigma brownish.
Etymology: Named after Dr Mohammad Rafique, a colleague of KM for his contribution on taxonomic research in Pakistan.
Material examined: Type; 1 female, Democratic Republic of Congo, Massa, 2.v. 1976, Dr. Onore ( HNHM).
