Type material.

Holotype, ♀ (KNA), South Korea, DMZ Botanical Garden, Mandae-ri, Haean-myeon, Yanggu-gun, Gangwon-do, 38°15'09.3"N, 128°06'40.6"E, 08-21.VIII.2017, Shin, Kim. GenBank accession no. MZ318086 for the barcoding sequence of the COI region

Comparative diagnosis.

Differs from other species in the group of Phaenocarpa species by notauli reduced posteriorly by having the eye in dorsal view 4.0-4.5 times as long as temple (2.0-3.0 times in other species). Closely related to P. brachyura sp. nov., for differences see key above.

Description.

Holotype, ♀: length of body in lateral view 2.0 mm, length of antenna 3.2 mm, and length of fore wing 2.6 mm.

Colour. Body (Fig. 1A View Figure 1 ) entirely reddish brown; antenna brown basally, medially dark brown, Mandible pale orange.

Head. Head (Fig. 1D View Figure 1 ) width 1.9 times median length in dorsal view. Antenna (Fig. 1B View Figure 1 ) 1.6 times longer than body in female, 25-segmented. Fourth segment 1.5 times longer than third segment, 1.2 times longer than fifth segment. Eye slightly oval, 1.1 times as long as wide in lateral view. Width of face (Fig. 1E View Figure 1 ) 1.6 times its height from ventral rim of antennal sockets to upper margin of clypeus; face with long setae. Eye in dorsal view 4.2 times as long as temple. Ocello-ocular line (OOL) 3.4 times longer than diameter of anterior ocellus; OOL:antero-posterior ocellar line (AOL):postero-ocellar line (POL)= 15:4:6. Stemmaticum concave. Vertex smooth and polish with fine groove. Mandible with three teeth (Fig. 1L View Figure 1 ); second tooth narrow and sharp with dark brown tip and separated from first tooth by incision. Labrum 2.5 times longer than wide. Maxillary palp 0.7 times longer than mesosoma.

Mesosoma. Mesosoma 1.9 times longer than wide in dorsal view. Mesosoma (Fig. 1G View Figure 1 ) with medio-posterior depression; notauli reduced posteriorly; scutellar sulcus with two carinae; small basal bump on hind coxa. Propodeum (Fig. 1H View Figure 1 ) entirely smooth, propodeal areola with bumpy sculpture; precoxal sulcus (Fig. 1F View Figure 1 ) distinct, with about five crenulae. Fore wing (Fig. 1C View Figure 1 ) 2.3 times as long as wide; pterostigma long and narrow, 4.4 times longer than wide; vein r of fore wing 2.0 times longer than wide; vein 1-SR+M slightly bent; 2-SR+M sclerotized; 1-SR+M:2-SR+M = 10:4; vein 2-SR:vein r:vein 3-SR = 12:3:24; first subdiscal cell of fore wing ca 0.9 times longer than wide.

Leg. Hind coxa compressed, grooved and 1.4 times longer than hind trochanter; hind femur 0.8 times longer than hind tibia; hind tibia 1.2 times longer than hind tarsus.

Metasoma. First tergite widened posteriorly, striate, and 1.8 times longer than its apical width; T1:T2 = 32:36. Setose part of ovipositor sheath (Fig. 1I View Figure 1 ) 1.4 times longer than mesosoma, 1.3 times as long as hind tibia and with long setae.

Male. Unknown.

Distribution.

South Korea.

Etymology.

From “artus/arctus” (Latin for narrow) and “tempus” (Latin for area behind eyes) because of the enlarged temples.
