DESCRIPTION. FEMALE ( Fig. 1 ). Holotype. Body length 1.04 mm. Head metallic green. Antenna with scape white; pedicle, F1and F2 dark brown, F3 and clava brown. Mesosoma metallic green with bluish reflection except pronotum dark brown.

Wings hyaline. All legs pale white except hind coxae completely and mid coxae in basal half brown. Metasoma with petiole dark brown, gaster metallic green.

Head ( Fig. 4 ). Head in front view, 1.37× as broad as long; upper frons with al-

veolate reticulation and lower with transverse reticulation; eye height 12.5× as long as malar space; antennal toruli situated above the lower eye margin. Antenna ( Fig. 6 )

with scape 5.4× as long as broad, 3× as long as pedicel; pedicel 1.5× as long as broad,

shorter than all funicle segments individually; pedicel + flagellum 0.83× head width;

funicle 3-segmented, all funicle segments subequal in length with longitudinal sensilla; clava 2-segmented, 1.46× as long as broad; last claval segment narrow.

Mesosoma ( Figs 7, 8 ). Mesosoma 2.14× as long as broad; pronotum narrow with six long setae on posterior margin; mesoscutum slightly shorter than scutellum; mid lobe of mesoscutum with 4 long setae and a deep median groove extending nearly half length of mesoscutum anteriorly; notauli posteriorly faint and indistinct; scutellum subquadrate, smooth with 2 setae and a median longitudinal groove touching anterior and posterior margins. Fore wing ( Fig. 2 ) 1.91× as long as broad with 9

admarginal setae; marginal vein + parastigma 2.25× as long as submarginal vein,

14.4× as long as stigmal vein; post marginal vein 2× as long as stigmal vein; longest marginal seta 0.11× maximum wing width. Hind wing ( Fig. 3 ) 4.6× as long as broad;

longest marginal seta 0.34× maximum wing width.

Metasoma ( Fig. 9 ). Petiole 0.73× as broad as long, broadened medially with a teeth like projection on both side; gaster shorter than mesosoma; ovipositor occupying half length of gaster, not protruded beyond apex of gaster and 0.86× as long as hind tibia.

MALE. Similar to female in body colouration. Antenna ( Fig. 10 ) with scape

2.6× as long as broad, relatively broad; funicle segments dorsally curved, narrower apically; eye short and malar space long.

Relative measurements (paratype). Head height: width, 27: 38; eye height, 20;

DIAGNOSIS. The new species is closely related to Z. brevipetiolatus Kamijo,

1990 but differs from latter in characters given in Table 1.

HOST. Unknown.

DISTRIBUTION. India: Andhra Pradesh .

ETYMOLOGY. The species is named after the name of Alexandre Arsène

Girault for his contribution to the chalcids taxonomy.
