Rodrigama gamezi Gauld, 1991 Fig. 3

Notes.

Gauld’s (1991) description is sufficient for recognition of Rodrigama gamezi ; we add the following characters for comparison with the two species newly described here: epicnemial carina present on mesoscutum; mesopleural suture mostly smooth, with some faint transverse striations; posterior transverse carina of propodeum strongly raised; first metasomal sternite extending back to about half way between spiracle and posterior margin of tergite 1. A paratype ♀ is illustrated in Fig. 3 .
