Examined material. Holotype: ♀“ Nova Teutonia, SC.; Brasil, 11/1972; F. Plaumannleg.” [ DCBU 209136]. Paratypes: 2 ♀Same data as holotype[ DCBU209137]; [ DCBU209138].
Diagnosis.Body almost entirely yellow ( Fig. 1); ovipositor sheaths brown basally, yellow apically ( Fig. 8); wings slightly infuscate; malar space 0.80–1.00 × basal mandible width; minimum width of face 1.27–1.35 × its height; mesopleuron strongly protruding ventro-posteriorly ( Fig. 5); T1 length 0.89–1.08 × its apical width; ovipositor sheath margins setose ( Fig. 8).
Description of female. Body length: 4.34–4.65 mm. Coloration: Body almost entirely yellow except area between ocelli black and ovipositor sheaths brown with apex yellow; wing veins dark brown; stigma brown with yellow borders; wing membrane slightly infuscate. Head: Antenna with 23–24 flagellomeres; F1 length 4.43–5.00 × its width; F1 length 1.30–1.55 × F2. F2 length 3.33–3.66 × its width; F3 length 3.33–3.55 × its width; penultimate flagellomere length 2.00–2.12 × its width; eye length (in dorsal view) 2.06–2.36 × temple; OOL 0.47 × OD; OD 1.50 × POL ( Fig. 4); head height 1.22–1.24 × eye height ( Fig. 3); malar space 0.80–1.00 × basal mandible width; minimum width of face 0.94–0.97 × its maximum width; minimum width of face 1.27–1.35 × its height ( Fig. 2). Mesosoma: Pronotum smooth and polished; mesonotal lobes smooth, setose, with denser setosity on median lobe; notauli absent; scutellum smooth; mesopleuron strongly protruding ventro-posteriorly ( Fig. 5), smooth, setose anteriorly and ventrally, sparsely setose medially; precoxal sulcus absent; metapleuron smooth, sparsely setose; propodeum smooth, except carinate-rugulose medially ( Fig. 6); mesosoma length 1.18–1.28 × its height. Wings: Wing length 3.84–4.21 mm; vein r 0.16–0.19 × 3RS. Legs: Femur length 3.57 × its width; tibia length 6.31–7.88 × its width; basitarsus length 4.42–5.33 × its width; tarsal claw simple. Metasoma: T1 length 0.89–1.08 × its apical width, smooth, with a few setae ( Fig. 7); remaining terga smooth and polished; ovipositor sheath length 0.69 × T1 length, margins setose ( Fig. 8); ovipositor wide and strongly flattened laterally. Male.Unknown.
Comments. Centistoides manoeli sp. nov.can be distinguished from C. doesburgiby having the ovipositor sheaths setose throughout (glabrous apically in C. doesburgi), wing membrane slightly infuscate, eye length (in dorsal view) 2.06–2.36 × temple and mesopleuron strongly protruding ventro-posteriorly ( Fig. 5).
Distribution. Brazil, know only from the typelocality at the state of Santa Catarina.
Etymology.This species is named after Manoel Martins Dias Filho, in recognition for his comments in an early version of this paper.
