Fig. 16

Material examined. Italy, Matera Province, 40°20.080'N 16°18.414'E, 12.VI.2010, 1 exuvia of mature larva parasitizing Laburrus quadratus (Forel, 1864) (Cicadellidae) .

Description, exuvia. Labrum probably with similar chaetotaxy as in the two species treated above. About 7–8 long bristles visible in position near the anterior margin ( Fig. 16C ). Mandibles ( Fig. 16A ) pointed, without additional teeth. Labium triangular, spinneret narrow ( Fig. 16B ). Bristles on head, thorax, and abdomen numerous and long ( Fig. 16D ). Spiracles of thorax and abdomen similar to those of the two other Anteoninae species studied ( Figs 16E–16G ).

Remarks. The immature larva was found on prothorax of Laburrus quadratus . The cocoon was built in the soil and covered with small particles of river sand ( Fig. 16H ).
