Redescription. Malar sulcus simple. Malar space partially striate, striations extending one-half to two-thirds distance from ventral margin of malar space to base of compound eye. Malar protuberance smooth, elongate, extending beyond length of
ventral margin of malar space; smooth, short, not extending beyond length of ventral margin of malar space. Clypeal protuberance elongate, overhanging anterior margin of clypeus; short, not overhanging anterior margin of clypeus. Tubercles of scutellar plate distinct, small, length of tuber less than one-half width of tubercle base. Dorsal surface of scutellar plate concave around midpit, two setal bearing pits at base of each tubercle. Carina along posterior margin of scutellum present, delicate, defining transition from dorsal surface of scutellum from posterior surface. Dorsal surface of scutellum smooth anteriorly, reticular/strigate posteriorly. Midpit of scutellar plate in posterior half of plate; plate small, revealing dorsal surface of scutellum when viewed dorsally. Mesopopleura setal patch absent. Mesopleuron entirely smooth; smooth anteriorly, striate along the postero-dorsal margin. Lateral aspect of pronotum anteriorly with some short setae, remainder glabrous. Marginal cell of forewing distinctly deeper than long. Metasoma of sub-equal size to mesosoma in lateral view.
Diagnosis. Differs from other species of Ganaspidium by having moderately developed tubercles on the scutellar plate, dorsal surface of scutellum smooth anteriorly and delicately sculptured posteriorly, and a complete posterior scutellar carina; other species in the group either lack the posterior carina, have an entirely smooth dorsal surface of the scutellum, indistinct or very well-developed tubercles on the scutellar plate.
Biology. Recorded from Liriomyza huidobrensis (Blanchard) (present study), L. pusilla (Meigen) ( Weld, 1955) , and L. munda Frick ( Harding, 1965) .
