BOLD Sample IDs: BIOUG 97138-C 05, BIOUG 95813-E 03, BIOUG 97138-G 06. Diagnosis. Male with genitalia bilobed, with a trapezoidal ventral lobe and a very short dorsolateral lobe in ventral view as well as additional characters discussed in the diagnostic comparison with similar species section below (Fig. 2 A, C). Female with five to nine spines arranged in two rows on the ventral edge of the seventh metasomal sternite (Fig. 3 A). Both sexes with mesoscutellum minimally projecting posteriorly compared to the metanoto-propodeo-metapecto-mesopectal complex in lateral view (Fig. 9 B), mesometapleuron with indistinct longitudinal striations in its dorsal half, and the Waterston’s evaporatorium (WE) with WE length / median T 6 length> 0.66, the combined shape of the bulla and the evaporatorium bulbous, one pair of campaniform sensillae present, virtually parallel tergal apodemes and a very distinct proximomedial lamella anteriorly to the evaporatorium (Figs 2 E, 3 B). Description. Male (n = 2). Colouration. Head, mesosoma and metasoma brown; scape, pedicel, and flagellum pale brown; legs pale brown; wings hyaline; wing venation pale brown; stigmal vein pale brown. Body length. 0.85–0.95 mm (holotype: 0.95 mm). Antennae. Flagellomeres trapezoidal, F 1 longer than all other flagellomeres, except F 9 (equal in length). Mesosoma. Median mesoscutal line complete. Scutoscutellar sulcus medially acutely angled, scutoscutellar sulcus and transscutal articulation not adjacent, interaxillar sulcus present. Circumscutellar carina present on mesoscutellum, ventral margin of mesoscutellum with distinct angular carina; mesoscutellum minimally projecting posteriorly compared to the metanoto-propodeo-metapecto-mesopectal complex in lateral view; anteromedian projection of the metanoto-propodeo-metapecto-mesopectal complex straight and tapered in lateral view, mesometapleural sulcus present in dorsal half; mesometapleuron with indistinct longitudinal striations in dorsal half; metanotal-propodeal sulcus foveate (Fig. 2 D). Metasoma. Basal transverse carina on syntergum present; spines on ventral edge of seventh metasomal sternite absent. Waterston’s evaporatorium. Acrotergal calyx distinctly convex; evaporatorium distinctly convex posteriorly, containing 16 to 24 cells (24); with very distinct proximomedial lamella, extending far beyond the evaporatorium anteriorly; cell size equal to setal socket size; the combined shape of the bulla and the evaporatorium cells is bulbous; bulla large, convex anteriorly and posteriorly, laterally tapered (lemon-shaped); WE length / median T 6 length 0.67–0.72 (0.72); tergal apodemes virtually parallel, generally broad; six or seven setae in caudal setal row (7); one pair of campaniform sensillae present (Fig. 2 E). Male genitalia.

Female (n = 4). Colouration. Head dark brown; mesosoma dark brown to brown; metasoma brown to pale brown; scape pale brown-yellowish; pedicel pale brown-yellowish; flagellum pale brown; legs brown, to pale brown-yellowish; wings hyaline; wing venation pale brown; stigmal vein pale brown. Body length. 0.80–1.25 mm. Mesosoma. Median mesoscutal line complete. Scutoscutellar sulcus medially acutely angled, scutoscutellar sulcus and transscutal articulation not adjacent, interaxillar sulcus present. Circumscutellar carina present on mesoscutellum, ventral margin of mesoscutellum with distinct angular carina; mesoscutellum minimally projecting posteriorly compared to the metanoto-propodeo-metapecto-mesopectal complex in lateral view; anteromedian projection of the metanoto-propodeo-metapecto-mesopectal complex straight and tapered in lateral view, mesometapleural sulcus present in dorsal half (Fig. 3 A); mesometapleuron with indistinct longitudinal striations in dorsal half (Fig. 8 B); metanotal-propodeal sulcus foveate (Fig. 3 A). Metasoma. Basal transverse carina on syntergum present; ventral edge of seventh metasomal sternite with five to nine spines in two rows, anteriormost two spines situated directly next to each other (Fig. 3 A). Waterston’s evaporatorium. Acrotergal calyx convex; evaporatorium distinctly convex posteriorly, containing 17 to 60 cells; with very distinct proximomedial lamella, extending far beyond the evaporatorium anteriorly; cell size equal to setal socket size; the combined shape of the bulla and th
