Description

Head and body mostly brown to dark brown, appendages light to dark brown. Vertex smooth to reticulate, face smooth or lightly sculptured. Ocelli usually small, particularly in the species from New Zealand. Inner surface of scape with or without cross-ridges; longitudinal sensilla sometimes present on F4–F6 of female antenna; clava with 7 or 8 longitudinal sensilla. Mesosoma smooth to reticulate (except propodeum); pronotum very short; axillar seta usually weak; scutellum with or without a row of frenal foveae, scutellar sensilla close to or at anterior margin of scutellum; metanotum usually entire but divided mediolongitudinally in one species. Forewing 3.4–4.5 x as long as wide (brachypterous in one species), usually long and narrow (4.0–4.5 x as long as wide in most species); venation short, extending to about 1/4 wing length, hypochaeta usually not reaching posterior margin, marginal vein with 1 or 2 macrochaetae; blade mostly hyaline or slightly infumate basally and also sometimes (in some specimens from New Zealand) with an inconspicuous narrow darkening along anterior margin distal to apex of venation, and densely and more or less uniformly setose, with several rows of setae behind marginal and apex of stigmal veins; longest marginal cilia shorter than greatest width of blade. Petiole in dorsal view cylindrical to subquadrate, usually moderately to strongly swollen; ovipositor usually short, at most slightly exserted beyond apex of gaster.

Diagnosis

Boccacciomymar (Prosto) differs from the nominate subgenus of Boccacciomymar in having a narrower forewing (brachypterous in one species), with marginal vein relatively short and at most with (but usually

without) an inconspicuous narrow darkening of the blade along anterior margin distal to venation, as indicated in the key above.

Distribution Australia and New Zealand.

Etymology The subgeneric name means "simply" in Russian. Gender neutral.
