Heresiarches atanyjoppoides nov.sp. ( figs 6 , 27 , 32 , 47 )

H o l o t y p u s (): " Nepal Centr., Bagmati Zone, Rasuwat Distr., Langtang Nat. P., Dhunche-Bharkun- Syabru, 2000-2800 m, 6-13.V.1996, P. Cechorsky lgt." (Linz).

D e s c r i p t i o n of: Body length 10 mm. Flagellum slightly lanceolate, with 35 flagellomeres, first flagellomere (without anellus) 4x as long as wide, two basal flagellomeres together about 0.8x as long as the compound eye, flagellomeres beyond the middle slightly attenuated, the widest about as wide as long. Genal carina reaches mandibular base. Temple short and strongly narrowed behind the eye, the distance of lateral ocellus to the eye about 1.0x as long as its diameter. Frons smooth below and with scattered puncture above. Face, clypeus and gena with superficial puncture, shining. Epistoma and clypeus moderately convex.

Mesosoma with short whitish hairs. Notauli distinct at the frontal third of mesoscutum. Mesoscutum with superficial puncture, shining, puncture of mesopleurum and metapleurum stronger. Coxal carina not developed. Scutellum slightly convex, slightly wider than long, with lateral carina in the basal 0.5, with scattered punctures. Propodeum rounded, rugulose-punctured. Areae basalis and superomedia confluent, smooth, elevated basally. Costula in the middle of area superomedia. Coxa III with fine puncture, without scopa. Femur III punctured, 4.3x as long as high.

Areolet pentagonal, frontal distance of intercubiti 3x their diameter, nervulus slightly postfurcal.

Metasoma oxypygous. Postpetiolus moderately widened, with distinct median field, with irregular striation, smoothened apically. Gastrocoelus triangularly impressed. Thyridium slightly oblique, about 0.8x as wide as the thyridial interval. Second tergite 0.77x as long as wide. Tergites 2-5 with dense but superficial puncture and with bluntly extended posterolateral corners (as in Atanyjoppa ), tergites 2-4 striate medially. Ovipositor sheath slightly surpassing the metasomal apex.

Colour: black. Flagellum with ivory stripe on flagellomeres 8-12. Yellowish are wide sides of clypeus, wide facial and narrower frontal orbits, gena and outer orbit up to vertex, anterior and upper margins of pronotum, subtegular ridge, two median stripes on mesoscutum, long stripe on lower mesopleurum extending to epicnemial carina, carinal triangle, prescutellar carina, sides of scutellum, postscutellum, hind half of area dentipara, large transverse posterolateral marks on tergites 1-5, spots on coxae I-II, apical margins of trochanters I-II, dorsal spot on coxa III. Femora and tibiae I-II yellowishbrown on frontal side, tibia III with a narrow subbasal yellowish ring, metatarsus III reddish in the basal half. Pterostigma blackish.

unknown.

R e m a r k: This taxon differs from other species of Heresiarches by complete lack of coxal carina, and extended posterolateral corners on tergites 2-5.

D i s t r i b u t i o n: Nepal.
