Gonatopus mirus Olmi & van Harten 2006: 329 .

Description. ♀. Apterous; body length 3.6 mm. Completely yellow-testaceous, except petiole black. Antenna distally thickened; antennomeres in following proportions: 7:5:15:10:7:7:6:6:5:8. Head excavated, shiny, slightly granulate, except large frontal unsculptured area in front of anterior ocellus; frontal line complete; occipital carina almost completely absent (short track present behind ocellar triangle); occiput setose; POL = 1.5; OL = 1.5; OOL = 7. Palpal formula 5/2. Pronotum setose, crossed by strong transverse impression, with anterior collar and disc shiny, unsculptured. Mesoscutum shiny, unsculptured, setose, laterally without pointed apophyses. Mesoscutellum shiny, smooth, flat. Metanotum short, transversely striate and about coplanar to mesoscutellum ( Fig. 230A View FIGURE 230 ). Metapectalpropodeal disc shiny, setose, unsculptured; propodeal declivity, mesopleuron and metapleuron transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture obsolete.
