( Fig. 191 View FIGURE 191 )
Holotype ♀, Thailand, Chiang Mai, Doi Suthap , 1440–1570m, 1988, “294–45”, Robinson & Cotton (no sequence data) ( BMNH).
Length of body 7.5 mm, of fore wing 7.0 mm and of antenna 8.0 mm.
Antenna with 55 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere pointed. Median flagellomeres 1.5 x longer than wide. Occipital carina weak, irregular and indistinct among other parallel rugae on occipit. Mesopleuron largely shiny and densely punctate, precoxal sulcus shallow, broad and finely vertically striate, speculum large. Midlongitudinal carina of propodeum complete but irregular posteriorly. Fore wing vein 2-CU1 1.3 x 1-CU1. Fore wing vein 3-SR 1.75 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 2.3 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 1.1 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell glabrous. Hind wing vein m-cu absent. Apex of hind tibia without comb of specialised setae medially. Claws without conspicuous pecten; hind claw strongly hooked. 1 st mestasomal tergite 1.18 x longer than posteriorly wide. Basal lobes of 1 st tergite medium-sized, basally convex, posteriorly concave.
Antenna black, with flagellomeres 20–33 white.
Etymology. Named after the wizard character, Harry Dresden, from the Jim Butcher novels.
Notes. In Chen & He’s (1997) key it falters at couplet 4 because it has a long 2 nd submarginal cell as in A. (Ar.) arsenjevi ( Belokobylskij, 1988) (as pulchricorpus Chen & He, 1991), but 57 flagellomeres being thus more similar to A. (Ar.) aglaurus . Differs from the similarly patterned A. hubeiensis in having maxillary palp with white apical segment.
