Diagnosis
Handaoia ruizcancinoi Bordera sp. nov. can be distinguished from all other New World species by the combination of the following characters: apophysis of propodeum conspicuously high, subtriangular with blunt tip ( Fig. 7H View Fig , arrow); juxtacoxal carina weak but complete, joining submetapleural carina at its anterior part ( Fig. 7G View Fig , arrow); inner side of area externa about 7.0× as long as inner side of area dentipara ( Fig. 1E View Fig ).
Etymology
The species is named in honour of Dr Enrique Ruiz Cancino from Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas ( Mexico), in recognition of his contribution to the study of the Ichneumonidae of Mexico. A noun in the genitive case.
Material examined
Known only from the holotype female.

Description
Female
MEASUREMENTS. Body length (without ovipositor) 4.0 mm. Fore wing about 3.0 mm long.
HEAD. Finely granulate, matt, strongly narrowed behind eyes, occiput very concave centrally in dorsal view ( Fig. 7B–D View Fig ); gena 0.14 × length of eye in dorsal view; posterior ocellus separated from eye by 1.55 × its maximum diameter; distance between posterior ocelli 1.27 × maximum ocellar diameter; occipital carina gently V-shaped medially ( Fig. 7D View Fig ); malar space 1.3× basal width of mandible; face conspicuously swollen medially ( Fig. 7B View Fig ); clypeus ( Fig. 7B View Fig ) quite convex, gently granulate with scattered coarse punctures, apex slightly rounded, about 1.8 × as wide as high; mandible quite tapered to apex, ventral tooth of mandible a little shorter than upper tooth; flagellum widened in middle, tapered towards apex, flagellomeres 8–18 flattened ventrally; flagellum with 20 segments, length-thickness ratios: 1 st segment = 4.1, 2 nd = 3.27 and 10 th = 0.72.
MESOSOMA. Finely granulate and matt ( Fig. 7A, C–D View Fig ); mesoscutum slightly convex, almost flat posteriorly; notauli moderately deep over 0.7× length of mesoscutum ( Fig. 7D View Fig ); scutellum moderately convex, without lateral carinae; sternaulus as a wide V-shaped depression anteriorly, reaching about 0.3× the length of mesopleuron ( Fig. 7C View Fig ); juxtacoxal carina weak but complete, joining submetapleural carina at its anterior part ( Fig. 7G View Fig , arrow); propodeum ( Figs 1E View Fig , 7C, H View Fig ) with strong and conspicuous carinae; area superomedia confluent with area basalis and separated from area petiolaris; inner side of area externa about 7.0× as long as inner side of area dentipara; inner side of area dentipara about 0.3× length of outer side; area spiracularis confluent with area lateralis; posterior transverse carina strong, forming an elevated apophysis joining lateral longitudinal carina, apophysis subtriangular with blunt tip ( Fig. 7C, H View Fig , arrow). Length of hind femur 3.9× its height. Hind wing with vein cu-a 0.77 × as long as abscissa of CU between M and cu-a.
METASOMA. Tergite I ( Fig. 7E View Fig ) finely granulate, shiny, strigose laterally, about 2.4× as long as its maximum width; lateromedian longitudinal carina moderately strong, reaching posterior 0.8× length of tergite; lateral longitudinal carina present from spiracle to posterior margin of postpetiole; tergite II ( Fig. 7F View Fig ) shiny, smooth and almost glabrous; remaining tergites ( Fig. 7F View Fig ) smooth and shiny, with short and moderately dense setiferous punctures. Ovipositor sheath about 0.5× as long as hind tibia.
COLOUR. Head ( Fig. 7B–D View Fig ) brown, darker dorsally, lighter ventrally, mandibular teeth and labrum dark brown; antenna with scape, pedicel and first flagellomere light brown, remaining flagellomeres dark brown, flagellomeres 5–7 dorsally white ( Fig. 7A View Fig ). Mesosoma ( Fig. 7A, C View Fig ) brown, more infuscate ventrally. Metasoma ( Fig. 7E–F View Fig ) dark brown. Legs ( Fig. 7A View Fig ) mostly dark brown; fore and mid coxae and trochanters, and hind trochanter, white. Wings ( Fig. 7A View Fig ) evenly infuscate.
