Dendrosoter ferrugineus Marshall, 1888: 247, ♀.

Re-description of female.

Body length: 4.8 mm; ovipositor length: 1.4 mm; fore wing length: 2.85 mm.

Head (Fig. 3B-D View Figure 3 ): Slightly wider than mesosoma (1.18 ×); coarsely rugose dorsally; temple with weak concentric striations, shiny; face coarsely rugose medially, weakly striated laterally behind eyes. Gena rugate above and smooth, with few punctures below. Head constricted behind eyes in dorsal view. Temple 0.58 × as long as eye height. POL 1.6 × OD, 0.95 × OOL. Diameter of antennal socket 2.5 × distance between socket to eye edge. Longitudinal eye diameter 1.1 × its transverse diameter. Eyes slightly notched opposite to antennal base. Malar space 0.4 × eye height, 1.1 × as long as basal width of mandible. Face width 0.75 × its height including clypeus. Anterior margin of clypeus bended forward, slightly convex; hypoclypeal depression 0.9 × distance between depression and eye. Tentorial pits small. Antenna broken (with 10 flagellomeres after being broken); scape short, 1.45 × as long as its apical width; F1 5.0 × as long as its apical width. Occipital carina thin and sharp, complete dorsally, but not meeting hypostomal carina ventrally.

Mesosoma (Fig. 4B, C View Figure 4 ): 1.9 × as long as its maximum height. Pronotum with 6-7 transverse elements. Mesoscutum slightly and gently elevated above pronotum, coarsely rugose, moderately setose. Notauli deep, crenulate; lateral lobes of mesoscutum and anterior end slightly convex. Mesoscutellum about as long as its base, sparsely granulate, with sparse, short whitish setae. SOS smoothly rugate; mtn scrobiculate, with small rounded protrusion postero-medially overlapping base of propodeum, 0.4 × as long as mesoscutellum. Propodeum coarsely rugose at basal two-thirds, transversely foveolate at posterior third, with postero-median projections, with long, fine whitish setae laterally and posteriorly. Mesopleuron weakly rugose above, smooth and shiny below; sternaulus short, weakly crenulate, not reaching lateral ends of mesopleuron. Metapleuron strongly areolate.

Wings (Fig. 4A View Figure 4 ): Fore wing with pterostigma 4.3 × as long as its maximum width; metacarpe ca. as long as pterostigma. Vein r arising from middle area of pterostigma, 0.5 × straight 3-SR, 0.55 × 2-SR, 0.75 × m-cu; r-m present; discoidal cell 1.9 × as long as wide; 3-M entirely unsclerotized; 1-CU1 0.3 × as long as 2-CU1, 1-M straight; 1-SR+M slightly curved; M+CU1 straight. Fore wing fringed with short fine setae along its costal and apical margins; hind wing entirely fringed with longer fine setae.

Legs (Fig. 5A View Figure 5 ): Fore femur 2.1 × as long as its maximum width; fore and middle tibiae with row of short, thick dark spines along their inner margins; fore tibia with a comb of widely separated short spines distally. Hind tarsus 1.2 × as long as hind tibia; hind basitarsus 0.9 × as long as remaining hind tarsomeres combined; 2nd tarsomere 0.48 × as long as basitarsus, 1.6 × as long as telotarsus (excluding arolium).

Metasoma (Fig. 5B View Figure 5 ): Apical width of T1 2.3 × as wide as its basal width, 1.3 × its median length, densely roughly foveolate; length of T2 + T3 combined 0.7 × its basal width, weakly longitudinally striated medially at basal two-thirds, smooth laterally and apically. Remaining tergites smooth and shiny. Ovipositor sheath, ca. as long as metasomal length, 2.88 × as long as T1, 1.1 × as long as mesosomal length, 0.6 × fore wing length.

Color (Figs 2A, B View Figure 2 , 4A View Figure 4 ): Head and mesosoma dark brown, metasoma reddish brown, with reddish antenna; palpi pale yellowish, legs yellowish, with dark brown telotarsi. Ovipositor red, with black apex; ovipositor sheath black. Wings hyaline, with pterostigma dark brown, yellow at basal half; parastigma yellowish; all wing veins dark brown. Hind wing with paler veins.
