Diagnosis. Callodicopus floridanus is distinguished from all other described Callodicopus species by fu 2 longer than fu 1 and almost as long as fl 3 ( Figs 163 , 166 ). In the other described species fu 2 is much shorter (almost ring-like) than either of these segments.

Description. Female. Body length 335–445 (n=3). Colour. Head and mesosoma brown, antennae, metasoma and legs except coxae and apical tarsomere slightly ( Fig. 163 ) to distinctly lighter (in one specimen radicle, pedicel, and legs yellowish white). Head width 193 (n=1). Antenna length/width measurements (ratios) (n=2) are: scape 203–226/31–36 (6.29–6.50), pedicel 58–60/27–28 (2.03–2.25), fu 1 34–39/14–15 (2.24–2.77), fu 2 48–50/12–13 (3.79–3.87), fu 3 50–55/16 (3.12–3.51), fu 4 54–59/14–16 (3.35–4.18), fu 5 37–40/18–19 (2.06–2.11), fu 6 38–39/20–21 (1.79–1.94), fu 7 40–42/20–26 (1.66–2.00), clava 182–186/38–39 (4.75–4.79). Fore wing length (n=2) 558–592, width 50–62, length/width 9.6–11.2, longest marginal setae 158–171; hind wing length 568–602, width 30, longest marginal setae 136–145. Ovipositor length (n=2) 136–139, 0.72–0.77× as long as metatibia length (178–193).

Male. Unknown.
