Fig. 13 View Figure 13
Material examined.
Holotype, female, China: Liaoning Province, Shenyang City, Mt. Qipan , 11 May 2014, leg. Tao Li (ASMN).
Diagnosis.
This new species is similar A. lii Yan & Wei sp. nov., but differs from it by the following characters: the apical club of antenna clearly shorter than antennomere 3 and about 1.15 × as long as antennomeres 4 and 5 together; the mesoscutal middle and lateral lobes black without pale markings, mesepisternum above carina almost entirely reddish brown, surface almost smooth; lancet with 51 serrulae, serrula small, clearly narrowed toward apex, distance between the middle serrulae more than 2 × as broad as a serrula; the total annuli length of lance 5.4 × height of the 13th annulus.
Description.
Holotype, female. Body length about 19 mm (Fig. 13A View Figure 13 ).
Color. Head and antenna dark yellowish brown (Fig. 13B-D View Figure 13 ), dorsum with a M-shaped black macula; thorax black (Fig. 13E View Figure 13 ), narrow posterior margin and broad lateral margin of pronotum, tegula, mesoscutellum and dorsum of metascutellum yellowish brown, mesepisternum largely (only small macula on anterior margin black), posterior part of mesepimeron, metapleuron largely reddish brown (Fig. 13E, H View Figure 13 ). Abdominal terga 1-3, median triangular macula of tergum 4, anterior margin of tergum 5 black, other part of tergum 4 and almost entirely tergum 5 yellow brown; both sides of terga 6-8 and ventral fold of terga 2-8 dark brown to blackish brown (Fig. 13I View Figure 13 ); sternites largely dark brown; both sides of sternites 4-7 pale brown (Fig. 13F, I View Figure 13 ); pale macula at middle of terga 6-8 of the same size, above 4 × broader than long (Fig. 13F View Figure 13 ). Fore wing infuscate in anterior half and subhyaline in posterior half, veins and stigma pale brown (Fig. 13A View Figure 13 ). Legs yellowish brown, coxae with black longitudinal stripes ventrally and dorsally, trochanters and femora largely blackish brown (Fig. 13G View Figure 13 ).
Head. Dorsum of head with indistinct minute punctures, remaining parts smooth with strong luster (Fig. 13B, D View Figure 13 ). Anterior incision of clypeus small and roundish, labrum small, roundish at apex; malar space about 1.5 × diameter of middle ocellus; postocellar area weakly elevated, 2 × broader than long; lateral furrows distinct, slightly divergent backwards, anterior part of middle groove distinct; POL: OOL: OCL = 3: 4: 6; head behind eyes weakly enlarged (Fig. 13B, D View Figure 13 ). Antenna length about 1.5 × head breadth, club 1.2 × as long as antennomere 3, club breadth about 2.1 × apical breadth of antennomere 3, antennomere 3 as long as longest axis of eyes (Fig. 13C View Figure 13 ).
Thorax. Mesonotum including mesoscutellum densely punctured (Fig. 13E View Figure 13 ); mesopleuron indistinctly and finely punctured, hardly microsculptured, shiny (Fig. 13H View Figure 13 ); mesosternum shallowly and weakly punctured. Median mesoscutal groove and notaulus broad and shallow; mesoscutellum roundly elevated without middle furrow; mesepisternum with a distinct oblique carina; cenchri narrow, distance between inner margin of cenchri 2.2 × longest axis of a cenchrus.
Abdomen. Abdominal terga finely and densely microsculptured (Fig. 13F View Figure 13 ). Tergum 1 with lateral carina distinct, posterior corner not produced, posterior margin broadly and roundly incised (Fig. 13F View Figure 13 ); middle process of sternum 7 broad, basal breadth about 1/3 breadth of sternite 7 (Fig. 13G View Figure 13 ); apical margin of ovipositor sheath truncate in lateral view (Fig. 13K View Figure 13 ). Lancet with 51 serrulae (Fig. 13L View Figure 13 ), middle serrulae distinctly narrowed toward truncate apex with 4-6 proximal subbasal teeth and 3-5 distal subbasal teeth, distance between serrulae about 2.3 × basal breadth of serrula (Fig. 13M View Figure 13 ); lance long and slender, subapical annuli broadened, total length of annuli 5.4 × height of 13th annulus, first annulus 1.6 × as high as broad (Fig. 13J View Figure 13 ).
