Macroteleia peliades Lê 2000: 54, 62, 335 (original description, keyed).
Description.
Female. Body length 7.28-8.50 mm (n=5).
Color. Body black; mandible reddish brown; palpi yellow; legs yellow throughout; A1-A5 yellow, A6 dark brown, remainder of antenna black; fore wing hyaline.
Head. Transverse in dorsal view, 1.44 –1.52× as wide as long, slightly wider than mesosoma; lateral ocellus contiguous with inner orbit of compound eye; POL 1.53 –1.58× LOL; occipital carina continuous medially, irregularly crenulate; central keel absent (Plate 49A); medial frons smooth dorsally, punctate rugulose ventrally; ventrolateral frons rugose punctate; frons below median ocellus densely punctate; vertex densely punctate, becoming punctate reticulate posteriorly; gena coarsely punctate reticulate; length of A3 1.28 –1.48× length of A2.
Mesosoma. Cervical pronotal area finely punctate; dorsal pronotal area densely coarsely punctate; lateral pronotal area smooth anteriorly, irregularly punctate posteriorly; netrion rugulose; notaulus narrow, foveolate; middle lobe of mesoscutum densely punctate, becoming punctate reticulate anteriorly, interspaces along notaulus in part with microsculpture; lateral lobes of mesoscutum irregularly punctate; mesoscutellum densely punctate throughout; metascutellum transverse (Plate 49B), posterior margin straight or slightly convex medially, longitudinally carinate; propodeum continuous medially (Plate 49B), not divided into two separated lobes, posterior margin narrowly notched medially, each side with several irregular longitudinal carinae medially, otherwise with rugose sculpture covered by dense, recumbent, white setae; upper mesepisternum with a row of robust longitudinal carinae below subalar pit; lower mesepisternum densely punctate to punctate rugulose; mesopleural depression smooth (Plate 49C); metapleuron longitudinally punctate rugulose.
Legs. Slender; hind femur somewhat swollen, 3.57 –3.85× as long as its maximum width; hind tibia without spines over outer surface; hind basitarsus 8.18 –9.09× as long as its maximum width.
Wings. Apex of fore wing extending as far as mid-length to anterior 2/3 of T4; R 1.68-1.96 × as long as r-rs, R1 1.64 –1.94× length of R.
Metasoma. Posterior margin of transverse sulcus on T2 straight (Plate 49D); sublateral tergal carinae well developed on T1-T3; T1 longitudinally striate medially, with scattered punctures in interstices anteriorly, punctate rugulose laterally; T2, T3 longitudinally striate medially, with delicate punctures in interstices, punctate rugulose laterally; T4, T5 longitudinally striate, with numerous delicate punctures in interstices throughout; T6 punctate rugulose dorsally, densely longitudinally striate laterally, with scattered small punctures in interstices; length of T3 1.03 –1.23× length of T6; T5 much longer than wide; S2-S6 sparsely longitudinally striate, with numerous punctures in interstices; prominent longitudinal median carina strongly developed on S2-S5.
Male. Differing from female as follows: body length 7.00-8.00 mm (n=4); antenna yellow to brown, becoming darker apically; hind coxa yellow or dark brown to black; T1 sparsely longitudinally striate, with scattered punctures in interstices; T2-T7 densely longitudinally striate, with numerous punctures in interstices; T6 distinctely longer than wide; length of T6 1.30 –1.96× length of T7; T7 transverse, apex truncate (Plates 47F, 50B); length of T7 equal to length of S7; S2-S5 sparsely longitudinally striate, with numerous punctures in interstices; S6, S7 longitudinally punctate rugulose.
Diagnosis.
This species can be easily separated from the other Chinese Macroteleia by its large size.
