Eye height 1.0× eye width in lateral view ( Fig. 14); distance between eyes below 3.10× distance between eyes above ( Fig. 13); malar space 0.42× eye height ( Fig. 14); distance between toruli greater than distance between torulus and clypeal margin, and greater than distance between torulus and orbit. OOL: POL: LOL: MPOD = 1: 4.5: 4: 4.5. Vertex coriaceous around ocelli and reticulate-rugose posteriorly ( Fig. 15); lower face finely reticulaterugose ( Fig. 13); gena longitudinally reticulate ( Fig. 14); parascrobal region very narrow; scrobal depression reticulate to transversely imbricate; interantennal region transversely reticulate ( Fig. 13).

Antenna with scape foliaceously dilated ( Fig. 17); relative length (width) of scape 40(17); pedicel 11(6); 1 stto 8 thfuniculars: 6(7), 15(7), 17(8), 21(10), 14(12), 10(12), 8(12), 7(12); clava 26(12).   FIGURES 12‒20.  Zaischnopsis fumosa. 12, body, lateral; 13, head, frontal; 14, head, lateral; 15, head, dorsal; 16, mesosoma, dorsal; 17, antenna; 18, propodeum, dorsal (arrow points to broadly V-shaped anterior margin of propodeum); 19, fore wing and gaster; 20, hind leg, lateral. Pronotum in dorsal view divided medially, pentagonal, reticulate ( Fig. 16). Mesoscutum almost flat but slightly convex anteriorly, lateral lobe carinate posteriorly ( Fig. 16). Scutellar-axillar complex flat, longitudinally, coarsely reticulate, with black setae; scutellum 1.78× longer than broad ( Fig. 16). Mesopectus reticulate anterior to acropleural sulcus and finely coriaceous posteroventrally, acropleuron with very fine longitudinally aligned coriaceous sculpture. Fore wing extended near apex of gaster, with SMV: MV: PMV: STV = 25: 32: 18: 7. Mesotibial spur shorter than basitarsus; mesotarsus with row of pegs on either side of basal four tarsomeres. Hind leg with basitarsus as long as following three tarsomeres combined ( Fig. 20). Propodeum with anterior margin broadly V-shaped ( Figs 18, 45, indicated by arrows); plical region comparatively broad, scabrous; callar region smooth and shiny ( Figs 18, 45). Gaster longer than mesosoma, elongate-lanceolate; Gt 1and Gt 2deeply V-like emarginate, Gt 3and Gt 4slightly emarginate, Gt 5and Gt 6convex, syntergum tapered to apex ( Fig. 41); ovipositor sheath exserted for very short distance, as long as 1/2 of basal metatarsomere ( Figs 12, 19).  Variation.Females vary in length from about 4.13–4.9 mm; head in dorsal view about 1.5-1.67× wider than long; scrobal depression separated from anterior ocellus by distance about 0.6-0.7× diameter of anterior ocellus; scutellum can be about 1.58× longer than broad. The color of the mesoscutum of the BMNH specimen is not as bright as in the holotype, and with more purple luster.   Distribution. CHINA: Guangdong, Hainan.   Remarks.The fore wing color of female of this new species is smoky gray, darker than for  Z. candetibiaand  Z. tubatius, and the hyaline cross-band is very narrow, only about 1/6 that of the basal infuscate region. Of these three species, females of  Z. fumosaare the only ones with white setae on the vertex. In our key, Z. fumosais separated from  Z. magniscapususing the length of funiculars 2–4, but this described difference is based on Girault’s (1919)original description (funicles 2–4 equal, twice longer than wide) and might not be accurate.   Etymology.The species name is derived from the Latin word “ fumosus”, which means smoky, and refers to the fore wing color. 2028521471 [337,1307,1607,1632] 2013-10-03 FAFU Shen Jie Nanling 3 203 1 1 Guangdong holotype 2028521466 2013-10-05 FAFU Ji Shuqin Nanling 3 203 1 1 Guangdong paratype 2028521427 1983-05-17 BMNH Boucek Tien Fong Mts. 3 203 NHMUK010353715 1 1 Hainan paratype
