Material examined
Holotype
ZAMBIA • ♀; ca 60 km NW of Kapiri, Mposhi ; 8 Dec. 2002; J. Halada leg.; OLML.
Redescription
Female (holotype)
LENGTH. Body 2.3 mm, fore wing 2.6 mm, hind wing 2.0 mm.
HEAD. In dorsal view, 1.6 times as wide as long, 1.4 times as wide as mesoscutum, smooth, with temple rounded behind eyes. Eye in lateral view 2.0 times as wide as temple medially. Face 1.4 times as wide as high. Clypeus 2.4 times as wide as high. Mandible 1.2 times as long as its maximum width. Upper tooth very wide and round; middle tooth rather narrow and long; lower tooth short. Antennae more than 14-segmented (apical segments missing). First flagellar segment 3.1 times as long as its apical width; 2 nd segment 5.9 times and 3 rd segment 4.9 times as long as their maximum width.
MESOSOMA. In lateral view 1.2 times as long as high. Mesoscutum (in dorsal view) about as long as its maximum width. Notauli mainly present on horizontal surface of mesoscutum nearly reaching mesoscutal pit. Mesoscutal pit present, elongate. Prescutellar depression smooth, with only median carina, 1.1 times as long as its maximum width. Precoxal sulcus present, crenulate, not reaching anterior and posterior margins of mesopleuron. Posterior mesopleural furrow crenulate. Propodeum sculptured, with pentagonal areola and smooth fields. Propodeal spiracles small, its diameter 0.2 times distance from spiracle to anterior margin of propodeum.
WINGS. Marginal cell ending at apex of wing, 3.5 times as long as its maximum width. Vein r shorter than pterostigma width. Vein 3-SR 7.0 times as long as vein r, 1.8 times as long as vein 2-SR. Vein SR1 2.1 times as long as vein 3-SR. Hind wing 6.6 times as long as its maximum width.
LEGS. Hind femur 4.5 times as long as its maximum width. METASOMA. First tergite weakly widened towards apex, 1.2 times as long as its apical width. Visible part of ovipositor sheath 4.6 times as long as 1 st tergite, 1.4 times as long as metasoma, 2.0 times as long as hind femur.
COLOUR. Body, antenna, mandible and pterostigma dark brown to black. Legs yellow to light brown. Head and mesoscutum in dorsal view similarly coloured. First metasomal tergite paler than 2 nd and 3 rd tergites. Wings hyaline.
Male
Unknown.
Comparative diagnosis
This species is similar to A. kenyaensis Peris-Felipo, 2014 , but differs from it in having the 1 st metasomal tergite paler than 2 nd and 3 rd tergites (1 st metasomal tergite similarly colour as 2 nd and 3 rd tergites in A. kenyaensis ), eye in lateral view 2.0 times as wide as temple medially (1.5 times in A. kenyaensis ), hind femur 4.5 times as long as its maximum width (7.0 times in A. kenyaensis ), precoxal sulcus not reaching anterior and posterior margins of mesopleuron (reaching anterior and posterior margins in A. kenyaensis ), vein 3-SR 1.8 times as long as vein 2-SR (2.4 times in A. kenyaensis ), and propodeum with pentagonal areola (without areola in A. kenyaensis ).
Distribution
Zambia ( Yu et al. 2016).
