Entedonomphale lermontovi View in CoL sp. n.

Figs 28, 29 View Figs 28, 29

Etymology: This species is named after Russian poet Mikhail Yu. Lermontov.

Diagnosis: This species can be easily recognised by its light brown body and a narrow forewing (length/width ratio about 3.7:1).

Description: Female (holotype and paratype). Body and appendages mostly light brown, with some brown on middle and hind tibiae and metasomal terga.

Vertexal suture faint and indistinct.Antenna ( Fig. 28 View Figs 28, 29 ) with scape slender, about 5.8 x as long as wide; F1 a little longer than wide, F2 slightly wider than long, each with 1 sensillum; clava longer than funicle, about 2.4 x as long as wide, with several sensilla.

Mesosoma markedly shorter than metasoma, almost smooth. Midlobe of mesoscutum with 2 pairs of setae; anterior margin of scutellum slightly angulate. Forewing ( Fig. 29 View Figs 28, 29 ) about 3.7 x as long as wide; longest marginal setae about 0.5 x maximal forewing width; disc with slight brown pigmentation behind marginal (its distal half only) and stigmal veins, more or less evenly setose in apical half of forewing. Hind wing about 7.5 x as long as wide, with disc hyaline; longest marginal setae about 1.5 x hind wing width. Hind coxa lightly sculptured.

Petiole conspicuous, much longer than wide. Ovipositor short, occupying about 2/5 length of gaster, not exserted; ovipositor length/metatibia length ratio about 1.1:1.

Measurements (n=1, holotype). Body: 1439. Antenna: scape: 176; pedicel: 58; F1: 35; F2: 31; clava: 115. Forewing: 787/212; longest marginal seta: 112. Hind wing: 576/76; longest marginal seta: 118. Ovipositor: 291.

Male. Unknown.

Holotype: Female on slide, labelled: 1. “ S. Africa: Trans. [Transvaal, South Africa], 15 km E. Klaserie, Guernsey Farm, 19–31.xii.1985, M. Sanborne CNCI”; 2. (red) “ Entedonomphale lermontovi S. Triapitsyn HOLOTYPE ^” [ SANC].

Paratype: 1^ on slide [ CNCI], labelled: “S.A.K.N.P. [ Kruger National Park , South Africa], Skukuza, XII-12–15.1985, yellow M. Sanborne mal.” .

Hosts: Unknown.

Comments: The holotype is mounted laterally. The metasoma of the paratype specimen is missing. In addition to the holotype and paratype specimens, there is a point in CNCI, labelled same as the holotype of E. lermontovi sp. n., which has only a forewing and a leg glued onto it; these remains of a specimen apparently belong to this species. For obvious reasons that specimen is not included in the type series.
