Distribution.
Eastern Palaearctic and Oriental regions ( Yu et al. 2016). Newly recorded from Nepal.
Diagnosis.
Head (Fig. 23B-D View Figure 23 ): GOI = 2.6-2.8; lower face 0.7 × as wide as high; clypeus almost flat in profile, its lower margin acute to subacute; mandible weakly twisted by 10-20°, moderately long, evenly tapered, its outer surface without a diagonal structure; upper mandibular tooth 1.2-1.5 × as long as lower one; posterior ocellus (almost) touching eye; antenna with 54-59 flagellomeres and 20th flagellomere 2.0-2.1 × as long as wide.
Mesosoma (Fig. 23E View Figure 23 ): mesopleuron entirely punctate; scutellum with lateral longitudinal carinae reaching posterior end and convergent posteriorly; metapleuron punctate; propodeum weakly declivous, its posterior area irregularly wrinkled, outer margin of propodeal spiracle not joining pleural carina by a ridge.
Wings (Fig. 23F View Figure 23 ): fore wing with AI = 0.5-1.0, CI = 0.5-0.7, ICI = 0.5-0.7, SDI = 1.4-1.5; fore wing vein 1m-cu&M evenly curved, 2r&RS almost straight; fenestra and sclerites of discosubmarginal cell of fore wing as in Figure 23F View Figure 23 ; fenestra of fore wing not very long and its anterodistal corner distinctly separated from proximal end of vein RS; proximal sclerite more or less linear, very weakly confluent with distal one or not, very weakly to strongly pigmented; central sclerite absent; distal sclerite more or less weak to absent; proximal corner of marginal cell of fore wing sparsely to uniformly setose; vein 1cu-a subinterstitial to antefurcal to M&RS by less than 0.2 × 1cu-a length.
Colour (Fig. 23 View Figure 23 ): body including interocellar area entirely testaceous, sometimes posterior segments of metasoma weakly infuscate; wings hyaline to very slightly infuscate.
Differential diagnosis.
Enicospilus pudibundae resembles E. biharensis , E. maruyamanus , E. nikami sp. nov., and E. transversus , but can be distinguished from E. biharensis , E. maruyamanus , and E. transversus by the proximally incomplete pectination of the hind tarsal claw (pectination of hind tarsal claw complete from base to apex of the claw in E. biharensis , E. maruyamanus , and E. transversus , as in e.g. Figure 2I View Figure 2 ) and also from E. maruyamanus , E. nikami sp. nov., and E. transversus by the evenly curved fore wing vein 1m-cu&M (Fig. 23F View Figure 23 ) (1m-cu&M more or less sinuous in E. maruyamanus , E. nikami sp. nov. and E. transversus , as in e.g. Figure 19F View Figure 19 ). The Nepalese and some other Oriental specimens exhibit a rather wider proximal sclerite and sparser setosity in the proximal corner of the fore wing fenestra than the holotype and Eastern Palaearctic specimens, suggesting that the Oriental specimens are potentially cryptic species. However, at present, I have not enough evidence to describe them as a new species and tentatively follow Gauld and Mitchell’s (1981) species criteria.
