Legs. Fore tarsi shortened; all coxae smooth, finely setose ventrally; hind coxa with three long setae dorsally; length of femur, tibia and basitarsus of hind leg 3.00, 8.00 and 11.00x their width, respectively; length of hind tibial spurs 0.25 and 0.36x hind basitarsus; apex of hind tibia with a tuft of bristles. Wings. Fore wing: r:3-SR+SRl = 7.00:34.00; 3-SR+SR1 straight, not meeting the wing margin; 1-SR+M weakly curved basally; r weakly oblique; 1-SR+M:2SR+M:2-SR = 13.00:6.00:4.00; CU1 distinctly shorter than m-cu; subdiscal cell absent.

LT1/ WT1 = 2.00, its surface coriaceous, mid-longitudinal carina reaching apex, rather flat, shape of first tergite weakly trapezoidal; laterope present; second tergite longitudinally striate but smooth and shiny postero-laterally; following tergites smooth; second metasomal suture present, smooth and deep; length of ovipositor sheath 0.10x fore wing, acute apically. Color. Black; palpus, face, scapus, pedicel, first flagellomeres, hind coxa brownish yellow; legs yellowish; wing membrane weakly infuscate, subhyaline, pterostigma clear basally.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

This study was completed within the framework of “Our Planet Reviewed Papua New Guinea 2012-2013” led by Pro- Natura International, the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle (MNHN, France), the “Institut de Recherche pour le Développement” (IRD, France) in partnership with the “Institut royal des Sciences naturelles de Belgique ”, the New Guinea Binatang Research Center, the University of Papua New Guinea, and the Divine Word University of Madang. The program was funded by Prince Albert II of Monaco Foundation, Stavros Niarchos Foundation, Total Foundation, Fondation d’entreprise EDF, Fonds Pacifique, Reef Foundation, Spiecapag, Entrepose Contracting, the government of New Caledonia and the “Lotterie nationale Belge”. Insect material was exported from Papua-New Guinea under permit number 012297 granted by the Department of Environment and Conservation of Papua-New Guinea. We warmly thank all the villagers from Wanang and Mt Wilhelm’s villages for their contribution to insect trapping and collection, and to the staff of the BRC and the scientists attending to the mission for the weeks spent at the Wanang station to sort the insect material. I also express my gratitude to Claire Villemant for the loan of the material, to M. Van Assche and I. Sauvage for their help in bibliographical researches, and to Françoise Hubrecht for her technical support. I thank warmly Pascal Rousse and Rebecca Kittel for their reviews and their suggestions.
