Type material. LAOS: holotype ♀, “Laos C, 20–29.V.04, Khammouan pr., 250 m, Ban Khoun Ngeun, 18°07'N, 104°29'E, Jendek & Šauša lg./ Pristaulacus vivaldianus Turrisi & Smith sp. n. ♀, 2009, GoogleMaps Holotypus ” ( OLML) .

Etymology. Named after the great Italian musician and composer Antonio Vivaldi (Venezia 1678- Vienna 1741).

Description. FEMALE (holotype). Length: 17.8 mm; fore wing length: 12.5 mm; ovipositor length: 10.8 mm.

Colour black, except:maxillo-labial complex dark brown; antenna with A1 reddish orange; fore and mid legs mainly reddish orange (tibiae and tarsi darker) except coxae and trochanters, hind leg with femur dark reddish brown and tibia and tarsus reddish orange; fore wing hyaline, yellowish, with a subquadrate dark brown spot below stigma (as large as stigma, extended posteriorly to middle of cell SM2); hind wing hyaline; most of metasomal segments 1–2 reddish orange. Setae: light brown, reddish goldish on mandible, brownish on metasoma.

Head, from above 1.3 × wider than long, weakly shiny; occipital margin slightly concave, with a wide and weak medial groove; temple, from above, well-developed, parallel, rounded posteriorly, longer than eye; occipital carina narrow, 0.2 × or less diameter of an ocellus, present along occipital medial groove; POL:OOL= 1.3; ocellar area 2.1 × wider than long; vertex with coarse, deep and dense punctures (distance between punctures 1.0-1.5 × puncture diameters), denser behind ocellar area; temple with coarse, deep and dense punctures (distance between punctures 2.0–3.0 × puncture diameters); frons with coarse, deep and dense punctures (distance between punctures 0.5–1.0 × puncture diameters); clypeus irregularly punctate, with fine to coarse, superficial to deep and dense punctures; malar area mostly punctate, with fine to coarse, deep and scattered to dense punctures; occipital area with coarse, deep and dense punctures; antenna 0.6 × fore wing length; A3 3.6 × longer than wide; A4 4.8 × longer than wide, and 1.3 × longer than A3; A5 4.4 × longer than wide, and 1.1 × longer than A3. Setae: erect, long and dense on vertex and most frons; recumbent, long and dense on lower frons and clypeus; erect, long and dense on temple (length of setae 1.1–1.2 × diameter of an ocellus); erect, long and dense on upper frons; recumbent, long and dense on lower part of frons and clypeus; recumbent, short and dense on malar area.

Mesosoma coarsely sculptured; pronotum mostly areolate-rugose, foveolate-punctate above lateroventral margin, with two well-developed, wide anterior and posterior tooth-like processes on each lateroventral margin, posterior one less developed than anterior; propleuron polished and shiny with coarse, deep and dense punctures on dorsal surface, fine, deep and dense on ventral surface (distance between punctures 2.0–3.0 × puncture diameters); prescutum triangular, wide, long, not concave to concave toward apex, coarsely punctate basally to transverse carinate apically; mesoscutum transverse-carinate to areolate-rugose on anterior lobe and posterior to notauli; dorsally convex and slightly prominent; anterior margin moderately prominent, angulated (lateral view); notauli deep and wide; scutellum areolate-rugose; mesopleuron areolate-rugose, except a very restricted part of subalar area, polished with coarse, superficial and dense punctures; metanotum longitudinally carinate, except medially, areolaterugulose; propodeum areolate-rugose, except anterior margin longitudinally carinate; venter of mesosoma mostly transverse-carinate with a wide polished and punctate submedial “stripe” on each side; fore wing with vein 2-rs+m short; coxa I polished with fine, superficial and dense punctures; coxa II transverse-carinulate dorsally, polished to transverse-rugulose ventrally with coarse, deep and dense punctures; coxa III transverse-carinate dorsally, mostly polished on ventral surface, except base transverse-rugose, with fine to coarse, superficial to deep and dense punctures (distance between punctures 1.0–2.0 × puncture diameters); inner spur of mid and hind tibia longer than outer spur; hind basitarsus 8.6 × longer than wide, and 0.9 × as tarsomeres 2–5; tarsal claw with six tooth-like processes. Setae: erect, short to long, and dense on dorsal surface; mostly erect, long (especially on pronotum) and dense on sides and ventral part of mesosoma; erect, long and dense on hind surface of propodeum; erect, long and dense on propleuron (setae length at most 0.7–0.8 × pretarsus length).

Metasoma pyriform (lateral view), moderately compressed laterally; petiole elongate, slender, 2.9 × longer than wide; T1 and S1, S2 polished and shiny; T2 mostly punctate except base, punctures fine, deep and dense; remaining tergites with fine, deep and dense punctures, sternites with scattered to dense punctures; S7 polished with fine to coarse, deep and dense punctures; T8 polished with fine, superficial and dense punctures; ovipositor 0.9 × fore wing length. Setae: T1 and S1, S2 glabrous; recumbent, short and scattered to dense on most of T2, except base; recumbent, short and dense on remaining tergites; recumbent to semi erect, short and dense medially on remaining sternites.
