Variations. Body length between 1.90 and 3.65 mm ; LFW between 1.67 and 2.58 mm ; maximum wing width between 0.72 and 1.03 mm ; propodeal declivity with brilliant median band; posterior carina of propodeal disc with narrow median angulation or two paramedian concavities. Remarks. Dissomphalus barbus sp. nov. is similar to D. magnetus sp. nov. and D. thaianus because of the following characteristics: basiparamere and paramere narrow in dorsal view, aedeagal dorsal body wide and aedeagal ventral ramus wider medially. However, D. barbus sp. nov. differs as follows: basiparamere with very wide ventral surface that hides aedeagal ventral ramus; dorsal body strongly inclined dorsad; aedeagal ventral ramus longer than half length of dorsal body, reaching base of apical lobe of dorsal body, apical region angulate, base extending beyond genital ring. Distribution. Thailand ( Loei , Phitsanulok , Phetchabun , Chaiyaphum , Suphanburi and Nakhon Nayok ).
