Alongatepyris platunissimus Azevedo, 1992 Figs 1-5

Material examined. Holotype female: BRA[ZIL], S[ão] P[aulo], São Carlos, Fazenda Canchim , mata [= forest], 7.X.1988, suspensa [= ariel Malaise trap], L.A. Joaquim col. ( DCBU) . BRA- ZIL, Paraná: Jundiaí do Sul ( Monte Verde Farm ), 22.IX.1986, 1 female, armadilha [= trap] Malaise, Lev[antamento] Ent[omológico] Profaupar ( DZUP) .

Diagnosis. Female. Length about 4.0 mm; LFW about 2.0 mm. Black. Head ( Figs 1 and 2 ). Mandible with three apical teeth ( Fig. 3 ). Clypeus extending backward into frons, median lobe rounded, surface of median area flat, without median carina. Eye with sparse setae. Antennal segment III 1.3x as long as wide. Frons strongly coriaceous, surface flat with linear elevation above clypeus which becomes linear depression from mid frons to anterior ocellus. WH 0.92-0.95x LH; WF 0.51-0.56x WH; WF 1.02-1.12x HE; OOL 1.67-1.86x WOT; head strongly flattened, its thick 0.32x LH; frontal angle of ocellar triangle obtuse; posterior ocelli distant from crest vertex 0.5x DAO. Vertex straight, with or without median callus, corner shortly rounded. VOL 0.8x HE. Temple straight and subparallel. Mesosoma ( Figs 1 and 2 ). Surface of mesosoma mostly flat. Pronotal disc with series of small foveae paralleling posterior margin, which can be slightly angled forward medially. Notaulus short as stub and very weak, virtually absent. Parapsidal furrow strong, straight, absent on posterior anterior fifth or third of mesoscutum, not reaching posterior margin of mesoscutum. Scutellar groove narrow, deep, ends non-dilated and angled backward. Propodeal disc 1.1x longer than wide, median carina complete, basal triangle areolate, disc otherwise weakly coriaceous; declivity short, without carina, median area polished. Mesopleuron with shallow fovea nearly as large as mesopleuron, with central pit ( Fig. 2 ). Fore wing with radial vein long ( Fig. 4 ). Mid tibia not spinose. Fore femur 2.1x longer than wide. Claws simple. Metasoma with posterior margins of sternites IV-VI strongly bi-emarginate ( Fig. 5 ).
