Type material.

Holotype, ♀ (RMNH), Aga. 040, "N. Vietnam: Ha Noi, Tu Liem, rice field, 13.vii.1996, K.D. Long". Paratypes (1 ♂ + 1 ♀): 1 ♀ (IEBR), Aga. 348, "N. Vietnam: Ha Noi, Gia Lam, orchard, MT, 25.x-5.xi.2001, K.D. Long". 1 ♂ (RMNH), Aga. 246, same data as holotype, but 18.x.2003.

Diagnosis.

Differs from Camptothlipsis taichungensis Chou & Sharkey, 1989, from Taiwan (China) by having the ovipositor sheath 0.9 times as long as fore wing (1.0-1.1 times in Camptothlipsis taichungensis ), propodeum without rugosity (coarsely reticulate-rugose medially), pterostigma with a small pale basal area (absent), length of the malar space 3.3 times basal width of the mandible (2.1-2.4 times), posterior groove of pronotal side largely without crenulae (completely crenulate) and medio-posterior groove of mesoscutum shorter (longer, Fig. 163 in Chou & Sharkey, 1989). Camptothlipsis flavidus Gupta & Bhat, 1974, from India has the first tergite about as long as wide apically and the precoxal sulcus absent anteriorly. Camptothlipsis gossypiella Gupta & Bhat, 1974, from India is similar but has the propodeum finely rugose basally and the second tergite with a distinctly impressed transverse groove. Camptothlipsis dravida Gupta & Bhat, 1974, from India is very similar because it has the propodeum only granulate and first tergite 1.3-1.4 times as long as wide apically, but the length of the malar space is 2.5 times basal width of mandible, the transverse groove of the second tergite is distinctly developed, the frons very finely punctate and the metapleuron weakly granulate.

Description.

Holotype, ♀, length of body 3.4 mm, of fore wing 2.9 mm.

Head.

Antennal segments 29, length of third segment 1.1 times fourth segment, length of third, fourth and penultimate segments 3.4, 3.0 and 1.7 times their width, respectively; length of apical antennal segment 1.2 times as long as penultimate segment; maxillary palp 0.6 times height of head; malar space 3.3 times as long as basal width of mandible; in dorsal view length of eye 4.0 times temple; temple roundly narrowed posteriorly; ocelli in rather high triangle, POL:OD:OOL = 6:4:8 (Fig. 99); face sparsely finely punctate and its width 1.3 times height of face and clypeus combined; frons with rather dense distinct punctation laterally; vertex and temple near smooth.

Mesosoma.

Length of mesosoma 1.5 times its height; pronotal trough largely granulate, rugose anteriorly, posterior groove only ventrally crenulate; area near lateral carina of mesoscutum weakly crenulate; lateral lobes of mesoscutum flat posteriorly, sparsely finely punctate, middle lobe of mesoscutum with dense punctures anteriorly and sparsely punctate posteriorly; notauli complete and finely crenulate, united far in front of scutellar sulcus and medio-posterior groove medium-sized (Fig. 93); scutellar sulcus 0.5 times as long as scutellum with 5 carinae; scutellum sparsely finely punctate; precoxal sulcus absent anteriorly and remainder finely crenulate; mesopleuron below precoxal sulcus with sparse fine punctures; mesopleuron above precoxal sulcus shiny, granulate; metapleuron and propodeum distinctly granulate, without distinct rugosity medially.

Wings.

Fore wing: marginal cell narrow (Fig. 96); vein SR1 straight; r:3-SR+SR1= 3:48; subbasal cell evenly setose. Hind wing: vein M+CU 0.8 times as long as vein 1-M.

Legs.

Length of hind femur, tibia and basitarsus 3.3, 6.4 and 9.7 times their width, respectively; hind femur (as remainder of legs) with short setae (Fig. 95); length of outer and inner spur of middle tibia 0.5 and 0.7 times middle basitarsus, respectively; outer side of middle tibia with a cluster of 9 pegs of which 2 at apex; length of outer and inner spur of hind tibia 0.3 and 0.5 times hind basitarsus, respectively; tarsal claw with lobe.

Metasoma.

Length of first tergite 1.3 times its apical width (Fig. 94); first-second tergites granulate; second tergite with basal area bordered by a superficial transverse groove (Fig. 94); remainder of metasoma smooth; ovipositor sheath 0.9 times as long as fore wing.

Colour.

Yellowish-brown; antenna, apex of hind tibia, hind tarsus, metapleuron ventrally, propodeum, first tergite and ovipositor sheath dark brown; face, mouthparts, second tergite and remainder of legs brownish-yellow; wing venation pale brown, but pterostigma brown (except small pale brown patch basally); wing membrane subhyaline.

Variation.

Length of body 2.9-3.4 mm, and of fore wing 2.4-3.2 mm; antenna of both sexes 28-29; POL:OD:OOL = 5 –6:4:8– 10 (female); venation (including pterostigma) pale to dark brown; first tergite yellowish-brown to largely dark brown.
