Macroglenes sulawensis Mitroiu, sp. nov.

(Fig. 9)

Etymology. From the island of Sulawesi, the type locality.

Diagnosis. Females of this species are characterized by the following combination of characters: F1–F2 anelliform, F3–F5 large, with sensilla; mesosoma strongly convex; ovipositor sheaths about 0.4× length of hind tibia; pecten about 4/5 length of hind tibia.

Description. Female. Body length. 1 mm.

Colour. Similar to M. kuwatus, but pedicel darker, and coxae and trochanters yellowish.

Head. Head in frontal view about 1.1× as wide as high. POL about 1.3× OOL. Eye 1.3× as high as long, with sparse pilosity. Malar space about 0.4× eye height. Antenna with scape distinctly less than eye height and about equal to eye length; pedicel length about 1.8× width; combined length of pedicel and flagellum about 0.8× head width. F1–F2 anelliform, without sensilla and progressively increasing in diameter; F3–F5 large, with sensilla; F3 quadrate, F4–F5 about 1.2× as broad as long; clava length 2.3× width.

Mesosoma. In profile strongly arched dorsally, length 1.25× width and about 1.4× height. Fore wing about 2.4× as long as wide; wing disc uniformly but rather sparsely pilose, with a moderately large, not very well defined, bare area between S and apical wing margin; basal cell bare, basal vein with 2 hairs; M:S:P = 30:6:6. Pecten about 4/5 length of hind tibia.

Metasoma. Oval-acuminate, length including ovipositor sheaths about 2.1× width, about equal in length with head plus mesosoma. Hypopygium about in the middle of metasoma. Ovipositor sheaths about 0.4× length of hind tibia.

Male. Unknown.

Comments. In my key to the Palaearctic species of Macroglenes, M. kuwatus would run to couplet 5, being closer to M. hokkaidensis Mitroiu from Japan. It differs from this species mostly by a shorter and higher mesosoma, a moderately large bare area between S and apical wing margin, a slightly more developed pecten, and lighter coxae.
