Material examined.
Holotype: ♀, China, Zhejiang Prov., Lin’an, Mt. Tianmu , 11.VI.1993, Wang Jianping, No. 935484 (ZJUH) . Paratypes. 1♀, same data as holotype, No. 935465 (ZJUH) ; 1♀, China, Zhejiang Prov., Lin’an, Mt. Tianmu , 11.VI.1993, Xu Zaifu, No. 935252 (ZJUH) .
Diagnosis.
This new species is very similar to C. (I.) praecinctus (Shestakov, 1936) [Korea; Russia], but can be separated from the latter by the following characters: in dorsal view length of eye 1.7 × temple, temples distinctly narrowed behind eyes (in dorsal view length of eye 1.5 × temple and temples weakly narrowed behind eyes in C. (I.) praecinctus ); head with black dorsal marking small and narrowed to stemmaticum, not reaching frons (large and reaching frons); triangular medio-basal area of T II strongly tapering apically (gradually tapering apically).
Description.
Holotype, ♀, length of body 5.1 mm, of fore wing 4.7 mm, of ovipositor sheath 1.6 mm.
Head. Antenna with 42 antennomeres; terminal antennomere slender and acute, 2.3 × longer than its maximum width (Fig. 6k View Figure 6 ); third antennomere 1.8 × longer than its maximum width, 1.1 and 1.2 × longer than fourth and fifth, respectively, the latter 1.4 × longer than wide; malar suture with sparse short setae, and with fine punctures (Fig. 6i View Figure 6 ); clypeus height: inter-tentorial distance: tentorio-ocular distance = 3: 10: 7; clypeus with sparse long setae; eye weakly emarginated (Fig. 6g View Figure 6 ); face largely glabrous except for a few short setae, and with some sparse punctures (Fig. 6g View Figure 6 ); eye height: shortest distance between eyes: head width = 13: 13: 30; frons largely smooth, weakly concave behind antennal sockets, with a median groove (Fig. 6h View Figure 6 ); vertex smooth, but with some sparse short setae; minimum distance between posterior ocelli: minimum diameter of elliptical posterior ocellus: minimum distance between posterior ocellus and eye = 3: 4: 6; temples largely glabrous except for a few short setae, and directly narrowed behind eyes (Fig. 6h View Figure 6 ).
Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.4 × its height (Fig. 6c View Figure 6 ); notauli impressed in anterior half of mesoscutum (Fig. 6d View Figure 6 ); mesoscutum smooth, with sparse setae (Fig. 6d View Figure 6 ); scutellar sulcus rather wide, moderately deep, and with crenulae (Fig. 6d View Figure 6 ); scutellum with dense short setae posteriorly; metanotum strongly convex medially, and with a short median carina anteriorly (Fig. 6d View Figure 6 ); propodeum smooth, without longitudinal carinae or groove, with sparse setae medially, and dense long setae laterally (Fig. 6d View Figure 6 ).
Wings. Fore wing (Fig. 6a View Figure 6 ): SR1: 3-SR: r = 35: 23: 6; 1-SR+M weakly curved after arising from 1-M, and 1.5 × longer than 1-M; 2-SR: 3-SR: r-m = 11: 23: 9; angle between 1-SR and C+SC+R ca. 85°; m-cu straight; 2-SR+M rather short; cu-a interstitial. Hind wing (Fig. 6b View Figure 6 ): SC+R1: 2-SC+R: 1r-m = 35: 7: 15.
Legs. Length of fore femur: tibia: tarsus = 22: 26: 37; length of hind femur: tibia: basitarsus = 30: 44: 16; length of femur, tibia and basitarsus of hind leg 3.4, 8.0 and 5.3 × their maximum width, respectively (Fig. 6f View Figure 6 ); hind tibial spurs 0.3 and 0.4 × as long as hind basitarsus.
Metasoma. Length of T I 1.1 × its apical width, median area convex and sculptured (Fig. 6j View Figure 6 ); lateral grooves of T I sparsely crenulate (Fig. 6j View Figure 6 ); T II largely sculptured, but smooth posteriorly (Fig. 6e View Figure 6 ); triangular medio-basal area of T II large and smooth, with a few short oblique carinae connected laterally, and acute apically, but not attached with medio-longitudinal carina; antero-lateral areas of T II developed and smooth, anterior grooves moderately wide and crenulate (Fig. 6e View Figure 6 ); second suture deep and crenulate, wide and straight medially, narrow laterally (Fig. 6e View Figure 6 ); T III-V with antero-lateral areas, and crenulate transverse subposterior groove (Fig. 6e View Figure 6 ); T III-VII largely smooth, and with spare long setae posteriorly; hypopygium acute apically, not reaching level of apex of metasoma; ovipositor sheath 0.3 × as long as fore wing.
Colour. Head and mesosoma largely reddish yellow (Fig. 5 View Figure 5 ); antenna (scapus and pedicellus paler), eyes, mandible apically, stemmaticum, metapleuron dorsally and propodeum (except medio-anteriorly) blackish brown (Fig. 6c, d, g, h View Figure 6 ); fore leg (except for telotarsus and claws dark brown) reddish yellow, middle and hind legs dark brown (Fig. 6f View Figure 6 ); metasoma and ovipositor sheath blackish brown (Figs 5 View Figure 5 , 6e View Figure 6 ); wing membrane infuscate, pterostigma and veins dark brown (Fig. 6a, b View Figure 6 ).
Variation. Length of body of female 5.1-6.2 mm, of fore wing of female 4.7-5.7 mm, and of ovipositor sheath 1.5-1.7 mm; antenna of female with 42-50 antennomeres; crenulate transverse subposterior grooves of T III-V are sometimes absent medially; scutellum, metanotum, metapleuron and propodeum sometimes uniformly black.
