31. Lissolaboides HEINRICH

Lissolaboides HEINRICH 1974 - Ann. Zool. Wars. 32 (8): 182-183.

Type species: Lissolaboides flavorufus HEINRICH.

D i s t r i b u t i o n: Oriental Region (Northern Burma).

I n t r o d u c t i o n:

The genus is characterized by transverse, slightly convex clypeus, sharp carinae of a propodeum, with exception of slightly expressed coxal carina, by elongated hexagonal area superomedia, large elongated spiracles of propodeum, by strongly asymmetrical quadrangular areolet of the font wings, by narrow stigma and long radial cell of front wings and by long and rather narrow abdomen with distinct gastrocoeli and very sharp thyridia on the second tergite.

M o r p h o l o g y:

F l a g e l l u m: Of female thin, bristle-shaped, more than 40 segments, slightly widened beyond middle and flattened ventrally, strongly attenuated and pointed toward apex. Flagellum approximately equal by length to front wing.

H e a d: Head contour moderately narrowed downwards, genae strongly and roundly oblique; temples long, gradually narrowed behind eyes. Occipital carina meeting with hypostomal carina on some distance from mandible base; mandibles uniformly narrowed from base to apex, with strong teeth; clypeus transversal, from slightly convex to almost not convex (at L. major HEINRICH ), at type species with straight thinned front margin and rounded lateral corners; antennal cavities moderately impressed with slight tubercle between antennal fossae; ocellar triangle distinctly elevated. Face and clypeus with dense punctures, without microsculpture.

T h o r a x: Transverse furrow of pronotum not interrupted by keel; pronotal ridge not thickened; pronotal base gradually sinuously curved. Mesonotum strongly convex, longer than width, notauli marked only at base; surface of mesonotum with dense punctures; subalarum thick, not sharpened; sternauli absent; scutellum high elevated above postscutellum, from lateral strongly slanting backwards, laterally carinated, horizontal part strongly convex with sparse punctures, apical part of scutellum with longitudinal wrinkles. Hind margin of metanotum with triangular projections. Propodeum short, angle-shaped; horizontal part, approximately equal to sloping one; all carinae of propodeum, with exception of coxal developed, sharp; area superomedia hexagonal, narrowed in front and from costulae backwards; areae dentiparae with expressed teeth; spiracles large, elongated. Surface of propodeum shining; metapleurae punctured.

L e g s: Moderately slender, long.

W i n g s: Areolet quadrangular, strongly asymmetrical; nervulus interstitial; stigma narrow. Front wing shorter than body length.

A b d o m e n:Fromabove long, broadening to apex of second tergite and from it uniformly narrowed backwards; second tergite with equal length and width at apex; apical tergites not hidden; ovipositor sheath slightly protrude. Petiolus only just wider than height at base, from lateral gradually curved; lateral carinae distinct; from above petiolus uniformly broadened to postpetiolus with practically not expressed middle field. Gastrocoeli slightly impressed, thyridia sharp, oblique, far removed from base of tergite; lunulae practically not expressed; tergites 2-3 shining with coriaceous sculpture, without punctures; lateral margins of apical tergites bent-under. Hypopygium slightly pointed, practically without longitudinal fold.

C o l o r a t i o n: Head, thorax and abdomen mainly from light-red basic color with very reach yellow and partially black pattern, to basic black color, with extremely reach yellow pattern, including abdomen.

S i z e: 11mm.
