Type material.

Holotype, female (IEBR), “Card.001”, "[NE Vietnam:] Phu Tho, Xuan Son NP, forest, 10.v.2005, P. Th. Nhi." Paratypes: 1 female (RMNH), “Card.002”, data as holotype; 1 female (IEBR), “Card.010”, "[CN Vietnam:] Ha Tinh, Huong Son, Son Hong, 23.iv.2004, Tr. X. Lam".

Diagnosis.

The new species is similar to Hartemita muirii (Fullaway), but differs by having the face rugose-punctate (punctate in Hartemita muirii ; Fig. 4), temples bulging (subparallel-sided in Hartemita muirii ; Fig. 7), hind basitarsus largely yellow (largely blackish in Hartemita muirii ; Fig. 5) and the hind claw with 5 teeth (8 teeth in Hartemita muirii ; Fig. 8).

Description.

Holotype, female, body length 7.7 mm, fore wing length 8.2 mm, antenna 9.5 mm.

Head. Antennal segments 52 (paratype: 51); third antennal segment 1.3 times fourth segment; length of third, fourth and penultimate segments 2.1, 1.6 and 1.6 times their width, respectively; eye glabrous, twice as long as its lateral width; width of face 1.5 times as long as height of eye; clypeal margin convex medio-ventrally (Fig. 23); epistomal suture distinct and evenly curved; malar space 1.2 times basal width of mandible (Fig. 23); in dorsal view head transverse, its width nearly twice as long as its median length; occiput deeply excavate (Fig. 24); temple behind eyes convex anteriorly and roundly narrowed posteriorly; length of temple 1.2 times transverse diameter of eye (Fig. 24); width of eye 0.55 times temple laterally; OOL:POL:OD= 15:9:6; face rugose-punctate; clypeus largely punctate; frons smooth and with a median carina; area around ocelli with transverse and dense rugae; temple largely rugose ventrally and with large punctures dorsally.

Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.3 times its height; pronotal trough rugose dorsally, remainder of pronotal side smooth; notauli deep and areolate posteriorly; scutellar sulcus with 6 cross-carinae (paratype with 5); scutellum convex and punctate; mesoscutum rugose-punctate; median arch of metanotum with short lateral cross-carinae (Fig. 26); mesopleuron smooth medially and rugose-punctate anteriorly; precoxal sulcus shallow; mesosternum rugose-punctate; metapleuron and propodeum rugose.

Wings. Length of fore wing 2.3 times its maximum width; length of pterostigma 4.3 times its median width; r:2-SR:3-SR = 16:26:53; length of second submarginal cell of fore wing 3.2 times its maximum width; vein 1-SR+M slightly sinuate (Fig. 25); vein 1-CU1 0.5 times vein 2-CU1 (10:22); vein 3-SR joining SR1 at 90°. Length of hind wing 4.6 times its width; vein M+CU 0.3 times as long as vein 1-M.

Legs. Length of hind femur 4.25 times its median width; hind basitarsus broadly laminate, slightly produced apically and 2.1 times as long as wide (Fig. 28); width of hind basitarsus 1.4 times apical width of hind tibia; second-fifth hind tarsal segments 0.6 times as long as hind basitarsus (Fig. 28); inner hind tibial spur 0.6 times as long as hind basitarsus; hind claw with 5 teeth (Fig. 27).

Metasoma. Metasoma as long as mesosoma; second metasomal tergite 0.85 times as long as third tergite; ovipositor sheath very short, round apically; ovipositor almost straight.

Colour. Body yellow; antenna dark brown; scapus yellow, but apex and outer side dark brown; frons and stemmaticum black; vertex yellow anteriorly and black posteriorly; temple partly black dorsally; median and lateral lobes of mesoscutum and mesosternum black; middle trochantellus, apical upper and lower sides of hind coxa, hind trochanter apically, hind trochantellus, apical third of basitarsus and hind tarsus (except basitarsus) black; fore wing brown, but smoky apically.

Male. Unknown.
