Diagnosis. Presence of a preoccipital lunula ( Fig. 100 ) distinguishes this species from D. comitans and other species without a preoccipital lunula. A metascutellum that is visible in dorsal view, wide with posterior margins parallel to mesoscutellar margins, a small metanotal spine ( Fig. 99 ), and a T2 without specillum in female (Fig. 14) distinguish this species from other species of comitans- group and orientalis- group. Metapleural carina with one posterior pointed projection ( Fig. 87 ) distinguishes this species from D. sulawensis , D. comitans and D. madagascarensis Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov.; this character is shared with D. bicolor , D. flavus sp. nov, D. kilimanjarensis Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov., D. tanzaniensis Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. and D. ndokii Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. Absence of a central keel (Figs 25, 104) and a developed odontoid process ( Figs 102, 103 ) distinguishes this species from D. bicolor . The odontoid process forms an angle of about 45° with ventral margin of lower tooth, dorsal and lower teeth of same length in female ( Fig. 102 ) and brown color of the head distinguishes D. parvipennis from D. flavus . postmrginalis not developed. Fore wing shape, angle between st and hypothetical pm (= anterior border of fore wing) 28°–30°.

In males, A 2 is as long as A 3. This character state distinguishes this species from D. flavus Tortorici et Caleca sp. nov. A smooth mesepimeral sulcus with fan-like striation ( Fig. 101 ) distinguishes this species from D. sulawensis which has a crenulate mesepimeral furrow.

Description. We provide the re-description based on an Australian female and an Australian brachypterous male that were in 1989 compared (by one of the authors: V. Caleca) with the female holotype of Hadronotus parvipennis Dodd and with the holotype of Hadronotus aquaticus Dodd (both on the same slide); both of these specimens used for the description were collected close to the type locality.

Mesosoma. In dorsal view, mesoscutum anteriorly brown; mesoscutellum brown with posterior margin yellow; propodeum brown; metascutellum and metanotal spine brown with dark edge ( Figs 99 ).

In lateral view light brown ( Fig. 101 ).

In dorsal view mesoscutum and mesoscutellum imbricate ( Fig. 99 ); in lateral view speculum with furrow; femoral depression smooth with fan-like striation starting by post-ventral angle; mesepimeral sulcus smooth and not well delimitated anteriorly; dorsal and ventral metapleural area with crenulate depression with rugae ( Fig. 101 ); Metapleural carina with one posterior pointed projection ( Fig. 99 ). Metascutellum visible in dorsal view, wide with margins parallel to mesoscutellum ones, small metanotal spine ( Fig. 99 ). Mesosoma length 0.36 mm, width 0.31 mm; mesoscutellum length 0.11 mm, width 0.25 mm.

Wings. Fore wing hyaline, surpassing metasoma; ratio st: pm: mg: sm: ww: lw: af: pf = 1: 0: 0.4 3.2: 2.6: 7.3: 0.4: 1.3; angle st-anterior margin 30° ( Fig. 40a ), st= 0.1 mm.

Legs yellow.

Metasoma. In dorsal view metasoma light brown (Figs 14, 99); laterotergites yellowish. On T1 pair of longitudinal submedial carinae, aligned with the metapleural carinae, separating lateral coriaceous area from internal smooth area; in the middle of T1 sculpure striate to coriaceous starting from anterior margin and gradually dissolving in posterior margin ( Fig. 99 ). T2 not foveolate in anterior margin, very short longitudinal striae, coriaceous as other tergites ( Fig. 99 ).

Male. Australia: Queensland: Gatton , 27°34'S 152°17'E, 1981/04/28 – 1981/05/05, yellow pan trap in potato crop # 198, (QDPC).

Length of the body: 0.67 mm

Head. Color darker than in female, sculpture more evident than in female. Head surface hairy. Frontal depression shallower than in female ( Fig. 104 ); central keel absent as in female; Fan-like striation visible in malar area and not visible in genal area ( Fig. 104 ). Head measures width: height: length = 0.36: 0.3: 0.16 mm. Malar sulcus length: 0.08 mm. Eye measures width: length = 0.1: 0.15 mm. OOL: LOL: POL = 0.09: 0.06: 0.11 mm. Mandibles as in female but odontoid process shorter ( Fig. 103 ).

Antenna ( Fig. 41f ). Radicles and scape yellow; A2–A12 brown; A1 length: 0.19 mm; A2: A3 ratio= 1.1.

Mesosoma. Color, sculpture as in female. Mesonotum length 0.22 mm, width 0.35 mm; mesoscutellum length 0.12 mm, width 0.26 mm ( Fig. 36 ).

Wings. Fore wing hyaline, reaching T2; wing ratio st: pm: mg: sm: ww: lw: af: pf = 1: 0: 0.4: 3.4: 1.9: 6.1: 0.3: 0.3; angle st- anterior margin 29° ( Fig. 40d ), st= 0.08 mm and it is curved.

Metasoma. Color, sculpture as in female ( Fig. 36 ).

Comment and variability. 132 specimens were examined from Africa , Australia, India, Indonesia, Nepal, New Caledonia, Philippine and Thailand .

The holotype is on slide as well as the Holotype of Hadronotus aquaticus . The Holotype of D. maputanus and slide preparation of the wings are deposited in the collection of MSNG and not in the Insect Collection of Portici Università Federico II, Napoli, Italy (DEZA) as stated by O’Connor & Ashe (2011).

Female length ranges from 0.79 mm of Tanzania specimens to 1.02 mm of South African specimens. Male length ranges from 0.67 mm of Australian specimens to 1.02 mm of South African specimens.

In males there is a large variability in wings from brachypterous (reaching T2 or slightly surpassing the posterior margin of T2) to macropterous (slightly surpassing the metasoma) ( Figs 35, 36, 37 ); when the fore wing surpasses the metasoma, the wing ratio is: st: mg: sm: ww: lw: af: pf = 1: 0.4: 2.9: 2.9: 7.4: 0.2: 1.1; angle stanterior margin 28° ( Fig. 40b ), st= 0.09 mm.

The head can vary from dark brown to light brown, but it is never black as in D. bicolor ( Figs 35, 36, 37 , 104 ). Female specimens are sometimes completely brown.

Distribution. This species is recorded from the Oriental, Afrotropical and Australian Regions.
