( Figs 3–5 View FIGURE 3 View FIGURE 4 View FIGURE 5 )
Material examined. “ INDIA: Karnataka, Biligunda , 14.ii.2005, Malaise Trap, ex. Ranjith, A.P. ”
Description. Holotype, female, body length 13.7 mm, fore wing 11 mm, antennae 13.5 mm, ovipositor 0.5 mm.
Head. Antennae with 69 segments. Terminal flagellomere acuminate. Medial flagellomeres 2.00× as long as wide. Third segment of maxillary palp swollen, 4.00× as long as wide. Second segment of labial palp swollen, 2.10× as long as wide. Face transversely striate antero-medially and laterally with a short medial longitudinal raised area anteriorly ( Fig. 3B View FIGURE 3 ), protruding in lateral view, with long setae ( Fig. 3D View FIGURE 3 ). Distance between posterior ocelli: transverse diameter of posterior ocellus: shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye= 4.5: 9.5: 2.5. Occipital carina complete, not evenly rounded ( Fig. 3C View FIGURE 3 ). Frons transversely striate, area between lateral ocellus and eye distinctly transversely striate ( Fig. 3C View FIGURE 3 ). Vertex smooth with an incomplete midlongitudinal groove ( Fig. 3C View FIGURE 3 ).
Mesosoma. Mesoscutum smooth and shiny with long setae and a midlongitudinal groove posteriorly ( Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 ). Notauli impressed, crenulate not joining with midlongitudinal groove at mid length ( Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 ). Scutellar sulcus arched with single carina medially and incomplete crenulations ( Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 ). Scutellum smooth and shiny with long setae ( Fig. 3E View FIGURE 3 ). Mesopleuron smooth and shiny with long setae ( Fig. 3F View FIGURE 3 ). Precoxal sulcus long weakly impressed ( Fig. 3F View FIGURE 3 ). Medial area of metanotum with complete midlongitudinal carina. Propodeum extensively rugose in anterior half without a pair of posteriorly diverging carinae antero-medially, posteriorly with longitudinal carinae associated with depressions, lateral carina distinct posteriorly and protruding ( Fig. 4A View FIGURE 4 ).
Wings. Fore wing vein 1CUb 3.70× as long as 1CUa. Vein 3SRa 2.00× as long as r. Vein 3SRb 1.50× as long as 3SRa. Vein 3SRa and 3SRb sinuate ( Fig. 5A View FIGURE 5 ). Hind wing vein M+CU 1.50× as long as 1M. Vein R transverse, 0.10× as long as 1r-m ( Fig. 5B View FIGURE 5 ). Vein m-cu absent ( Fig. 5B View FIGURE 5 ).
Legs. Hind coxa smooth with dorsal tubercle ( Figs 2A View FIGURE2 , 4B View FIGURE 4 ). Claws with pointed basal lobe ( Fig. 4F View FIGURE 4 ).
Metasoma. First metasomal tergite longitudinally striate laterally, medially rugose with smooth median field mid postriorly, 2.40× as long apically wide, posteriorly with well developed shoulders, complete midlongitudinal carina and lateral protuberances submedially ( Fig. 4B View FIGURE 4 ). Second metasomal tergite longitudinally striate with a complete midlongitudinal carina, 1.30× as long as third tergite, 1.50× as long as apically wide, with smooth triangular area antero-medially, antero-lateral area depressed ( Fig. 4C View FIGURE 4 ). Third metasomal tergite longitudinally striate, 0.90× as long as apically wide with midlongitudinal carina not extending up to posterior margin ( Fig. 4C View FIGURE 4 ). Fourth metasomal tergite longitudinally striate ( Fig. 4D View FIGURE 4 ). Fifth metasomal tergite smooth posteriorly rest faintly rugose ( Fig. 4D View FIGURE 4 ). Sixth metasomal tergite smooth and shiny ( Fig. 4D View FIGURE 4 ). Hypopygium slightly curved ventrally ( Fig. 4E View FIGURE 4 ). Ovipositor sheath setose ( Fig. 4E View FIGURE 4 ). Ovipositor with distinct ventral serrations ( Fig. 4E View FIGURE 4 ).
Colour. Body yellow to dark yellow except eyes, ocelli, mesoscutum medially and laterally, mesopleuron posteriorly, ovipositor sheath light brown to brown.
Male. Unknown.
Distribution. India (Karnataka).
Host. Unknown.
Etymology. APR dedicates this species to ‘Indian King of Sixes’ Yuvraj Singh, Indian cricketer for cheering the hearts of billions with his huge sixes.
Comments. Cystomastacoides yuvraji sp. nov. is close to C. nicolepeelerae in having transverse hind wing vein 2SC+ R and flattened second segment of labial palp. However, it differs from C. nicolepeelerae by the following characters; medial flagellomeres 2.00× as long as wide (vs 2.50× as long as wide), frons transversely striate medially (vs smooth medially), vertex with incomplete midlongitudinal groove running from stemmaticum to occipital carina (vs with complete midlongitudinal groove), pterostigma largely yellow (vs largely brown), fore wing hyaline apically (vs distinctly infuscated apically), first metasomal tergite with distinct angular lateral protuberances sub medially (vs with indistinct lateral protuberances sub medially).
