Type material.

Holotype, female (IEBR), “Card.059”, "[S Vietnam:] Dak Lak, Easo, coffee farm, MT, 108°37'E, 02.vii.2008, Ngo Hien".

Diagnosis.

The new species is close to Hartemita rhadinotarsa Dangerfield & Austin, but differs by having epistomal suture indistinctly developed, with the rugosities of the face and the punctures of the clypeus distinct (suture distinct and face and clypeus finely punctate in Hartemita rhadinotarsa ); the occiput deeply concave (moderately concave in Hartemita rhadinotarsa ); the hind tarsal segments (excerpt basitarsus) 0.6 times as long as hind basitarsus (0.8 times in Hartemita rhadinotarsa ) and the hind tarsal claws with 5 teeth (2-4 teeth in Hartemita rhadinotarsa ). Differs from Hartemita excavata Chen, He & Ma by having the transverse diameter of the eye in dorsal view 1.3 times as long as the temple (0.9 times in Hartemita excavata ), POL 1.5 times OD (1.3 times in Hartemita excavata ) and the scutellar sulcus with 5 cross-carinae (3 cross-carinae in Hartemita excavata ).

Length of hind femur 4.2 times its width; length of hind tibia 4.4 times its apical width; hind basitarsus slightly produced apically (Fig. 16), flattened, not broadly laminate, 2.8 times longer than wide and as wide as apical width of hind tibia (Fig. 16);second-fifthhind tarsal segments 0.6 times as long as hind basitarsus; inner hind tibial spur 0.6 times as long as hind basitarsus; hind tarsal claw with 5 teeth; hind coxa and outer side of hind femur rugose-punctate; upper side of hind tibia with some spines.

Metasoma. Second metasomal tergite 0.8 times as long as third tergite; ovipositor sheath short; ovipositor curved.

Colour. Body yellow; scapus yellow, black apically and laterally; frons black medially, yellow laterally; stemmaticum and vertex black; temple black along occiput margin; hind femur yellow with black band on upper side; hind tibia yellow, black basally and apically; hind basitarsus yellow, black apically; hind spurs and tarsus (except basitarsus) dark brown.

Male. Unknown.

Distribution.

S Vietnam: Dak Lak.

Etymology.

After the genus Coffea Linnaeus, because the new species was collected at a coffee farm.
