( Figs 9 View FIGURES 1 – 12 , 30 View FIGURES 22 – 30 , 50 View FIGURES 42 – 50 , 77, 78 View FIGURES 77 – 85 )

Description. MALE. Body length 5.0 mm. LFW 3.3 mm. Color. Head, clypeus and mesosoma black; mandible and antenna dark castaneous; metasoma and legs castaneous; wings slightly brownish.

Head ( Fig. 9 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ). Mandible with five apical teeth; uppermost one blunt, others angulate; large, subequal in length. Median clypeal lobe trapezoidal; apical margin slightly medially ventrad, with median tooth conspicuous; carina high, arched in profile. Antennal torulus slightly prominent. Flagellomeres median-sized; four first antennomeres in ratio about 19:5:7:7; pedicel short, 1.25 × as long as wide; flagellomere I 1.41 × as long as wide; flagellomere IX 1.42 × as long as wide; flagellar pubescence suberect and erect, about half of diameter of flagellomeres. Frons slightly coriaceous; densely punctate. WH 0.97 × LH. WF 0.78 × WH. WF 2.0 × HE. Eye small, salient; pilosity sparse. Ocellus small. DAO 0.13 × WF; frontal angle of ocellar triangle acute. WOT 2.75 × DAO. OOL 1.27 × WOT. Distance of posterior ocellus to vertex crest 2.0 × DAO. VOL 1.1 × HE. Temple parallel. Vertex straight. Occipital carina complete, visible in dorsal view.

Mesosoma ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 22 – 30 ). Pronotal disc coriaceous, mesonotum slightly coriaceous; densely punctate. Pronotal collar long. Pronotal declivity low. Pronotal disc 0.54 × as long as wide. Notauli strongly conspicuous; complete; slightly convergent. Parapsidal furrow almost complete. Scutellar furrow long, slender, shallow, scrobiculate, posterior margin straight. Median region of scutellum not punctate. Median region of metanotum very short, wide. Inner foveae of metanotal furrow large. Propodeal disc 1.08 × as long as wide; 0.53 × as high as long; basal triangle conspicuous, rugulose, rest of disc polished; median carina absent; paramedian carina conspicuous, long; lateral carina absent; sublateral carina absent; transversal carina absent; declivity strigulate; side of propodeum polished, or slightly coriaceous. Mesopleuron slightly coriaceous; callus absent; fovea shallow; mesopleural pit present. Metacarpus 0.27 × radial vein; discoidal vein slightly pigmented, not interstitial with median; first recurrent not pigmented; subdiscoidal vein absent.

Metasoma. Hypopygium ( Fig. 50 View FIGURES 42 – 50 ) 1.07 × as long as wide; posterior margin strongly trilobate; median lobe convex, wide; lateral lobe rectangular, short; lateral margin convergent; anterior pigmented line ill-defined, slender; median stalk short; lateral stalk absent. Genitalia ( Figs 77–78 View FIGURES 77 – 85 ): aedeagus uniformly wide; apical margin of ventral paramere convex; dorsal paramere as wide as ventral one, glabrous; basivolsella slightly excavated; inner margin of cuspis convex; genital ring long.

FEMALE unknown.

Material examined. Holotype, ♂. THAILAND, Suphanburi, Pu Toei NP, Huai Mongpae/red road, 14°56.985’N 99°26.78’E, 300 m, Malaise trap, 24–31.viii.2008, Saunbua.L. leg., T3122, QSBG.

Distribution. Thailand (Suphanburi).

Remarks. Caloapenesia launeci sp. nov. resembles C. edas sp. nov. by presents median clypeal lobe trapezoidal. But C. launeci sp. nov. presents clypeus trapezoidal with corners angulate; occipital carina visible in dorsal view; uppermost tooth wide and blunt; hypopygium strongly trilobate, without lateral stalk.
