Conomorium helvaciogluae n. sp.

( Figs. 1e , 2e1 , e2 ; 3e , 4e1 , e2 )

Etymology. The name is derived from the name of Dr. Özge Helvacıoğlu who reared the types of the new species.

Type material. Holotype ♀, TR. Sakarya, 04.viii.2019, reared from pupae of Sesamia nonagrioides Lef. ( Lepidoptera : Noctuidae ) (Ö. Helvacıoğlu). Paratypes 15♀♀, 7♂♂, same locality as the holotype, reared from pupae of S. nonagrioides and of Ostrinia nubilalis Hbn. ( Lepidoptera : Crambidae ), 18.vii.- 05.ix.2019. (Ö.

Helvacıoğlu). The types were deposited in Insect Museum of Biological Control Station, Yüreğir, Adana, Turkey ( IMBC).

Description female. Body length 2.3-2.4 mm. Head and mesosoma -black with bluish reflection. Antenna with scape and pedicel yellow, anelli pale testaceous, flagellum black. Setae on mesosoma brown. Coxae concolorous with body, rest of legs dirty yellow, wings hyaline, venation brownish testaceous; petiole black, metasoma brown.

Similar to C. taslıcayensis n. sp. excepts as follows:

Head ( Fig. 2e ) about 1.28 times as wide as mesoscutum, in dorsal view about 2.12 times as broad as long; in frontal view 1.28x as width as height; Head in lateral view with lower face receding at an angle of about 700 with respect to upper face. POL 1.24 OOL and 1.3x Ohm; (A) = 4.25; temple 0.33 times as long as eye length, Head in dorsal view with temple forming a slightly obtuse angle (110 0) with occiput; Eyes 1.5 times as high as wide, separated by 1.26 times their length, malar space 0.23 times eye height. antenna ( Fig. 2e 1 ) with scape about 7.43x as long as broad; pedicellus plus flagellum 0.94x head width; F1 1.6 times as long as apical wide, 2.66x as long as basal wide, 0.8x as long as clava; following segments slightly transverse, 6 th 1.25x as broad as long; clava 1.9x as long as broad.

Mesosoma about 1.5 times as long as wide, in lateral view moderately bent, dorsellum and propodeum sloping at an angle of about 27° with respect to dorsal plane of mesoscutum and scutellum. Pronotum with pronotal collar about 0.25x as long as mesoscutum, Mesoscuturn about 1.6 times as wide as long; Scutellum 0.9x as long as wide, Fore wing 2.18 times as long as wide, with marginal vein 1.6 times as long as post marginal vein, 1.35x as long as stigmal vein; the latter 1.2x as long as post marginal vein; angle between stigmal vein and post marginal vein 420; stigma big, space between post marginal vein and stigma about 1.43x length of stigma. Propodeum 0.6 times as long as scutellum; median area 2.2x as wide as long; spiracle separated from posterior edge of metanotum by its longest diameter.

Petiole distinctly wider than long. Metasoma ( Fig. 4e 1 ) circular, 1.1 times as long as wide, about 1.16 times as wide as mesoscutum and about 1.15x as long as mesosoma; gastral tergites dorsally slightly sunken, first tergite occupying 0.3x length of gaster.

Description male. Body length 2.0- 2.2 mm. Similar to female, except as follows: Head and mesosoma bluish-black, legs pale yellow, except coxae concolorous with body; metatibiae slightly infuscate medially; first gastral tergite with a transverse narrow pale band along its hind margin; other part metallic dark brown to black.

Head with antenna ( Fig. 2e2 ) with scape 1.2x as long as eye height and about 5 times as long as width, extending above vertex; ventral shiny. Plaque extending almost whole length of scape; combined length of pedicel plus flagellum 1.1 times as long as head width; pedicel in lateral view twice as long as wide; flagellum filiform, first funicular segment 2 times as long as wide, twice as long as second segment and 1.3 times as long as pedicel; second funicular segment about 1.1 times as long as wide; F6 equal in length and width; clava acuminate, 1.8 times as long as wide, 1.14x as long as two preceding funicular segments combined.

Petiole about 0.5 times as long as wide. Metasoma ( Fig. 4e 2 ) oblong, about 1.55 times as long as wide, 0.93x as long as mesosoma; hind margin of first tergite straight.
