Entedonomphale esenini View in CoL sp. n.

Figs 17, 18 View Figs 17, 18

Etymology: This species is named after Russian poet Sergei A. Esenin.

Diagnosis: This species is defined based on the unique combination of the following morphological features: funicle segments of female antenna subequal and about as long as wide, each with several sensilla; midlobe of mesoscutum with 1 pair of setae; forewing disc hyaline, more or less evenly setose in the apical half (setae moderately long), bare in the basal half.

Description: Female (holotype). Body brown, appendages mostly light brown.

Vertexal suture distinct, angulate. Antenna ( Fig. 17 View Figs 17, 18 ) with scape slender, about 4.0 x as long as wide; F1 and F2 subequal, about as long as wide and each with several sensilla; clava small, a little longer than funicle, about 1.9 x as long as wide, with several sensilla.

Mesosoma a little shorter than metasoma, smooth. Midlobe of mesoscutum with 1 pair of setae; anterior margin of scutellum angulate. Forewing ( Fig. 18 View Figs 17, 18 ) about 3.0 x as long as wide; longest marginal setae 0.45 x maximal forewing width; disc hyaline, more or less evenly setose in apical half of forewing (setae moderately long), bare in basal half. Hind wing about 6.0 x as long as wide; disc hyaline and with a few scattered setae; longest marginal setae almost equal to hind wing width. Hind coxa smooth.

Petiole conspicuous, almost as wide as long. Ovipositor occupying about 1/2 length of gaster, not exserted; ovipositor length/metatibia length ratio about 1.1:1.

Measurements (n=1, holotype). Body: 941.Antenna: scape: 109; pedicel: 54; F1: 31; F2: 31; clava: 78. Forewing: 675/227; longest marginal seta: 103. Hind wing: 595/100; longest marginal seta: 103. Ovipositor: 215.

Male. Unknown.
