Doliopria Kieffer, 1910a: 48 .

Martinica Risbec, 1950: 533. NEW SYNONYMY.

DIAGNOSIS (♀ 3): Predominantly small to rarely medium­sized individuals (1–3.5 mm); body color light yellow to dark brown, predominantly smooth and shining, head and mesosoma with abundant, scattered, long, semierect hairs, strong hairy cushions but no foamy structures; female antenna 11­, rarely 10­segmented, A10 and A11 largest, articulation between A9, A10, and A 11 in extreme dorsal part; submarginal vein in forewing moderately to distinctly remote from foremargin; marginal and stigmal veins subtriangular in shape, stigmal vein often well defined, basal vein not developed; hind wing always with pigmented submarginal vein; anterior margin of syntergite straight and entire, often raised medially or almost flexed and moderately to distinctly excised medially; S2 anterolaterally with two hairy depressions.

DESCRIPTION (♀ 3): HEAD. Head in dorsal view predominantly globose, sometimes transverse or produced anteriorly, usually smooth, sometimes with large, coarse punctures, frons usually unarmed, very rarely with small median point ; antennal shelf relatively large, not margined posteriorly, in one undescribed species, partly margined; head in lateral view with antennal shelf moderately to distinctly projecting; level of torulus in the middle of the eye; eye usually subcircular, with posterior margin not sinuate, ommatidia relatively small and not convex; oral carina usually well developed, partly obscured by postgenal cushion; postgenal cushion strongly developed, sometimes contiguous ventrally across hypostomal bridge; occipital flange moderate to well developed; occiput usually rounded, sometimes sharply steplike carinate; face sometimes sculptured, rugulose or punctate, often with distinct depression medially below antennal shelf; mandible bidentate, rarely strongly enlarged, mandibular condyle usually with elevated rim; clypeus usually well defined, convex, epistomal sulcus sometimes well developed, rarely lower margin of clypeus flexed and bladelike projecting; rarely lower face deeply concave; tentorial pit and malar sulcus not developed; hypostomal bridge well developed, sometimes covered by part of postgenal cushions; palpal formula 5–2; female antenna 11­segmented, very rarely 10­segmented, usually strongly clavate, clava semiabrupt, gradually incrassate toward apex, A10 and A11 usually largest, A11 always larger than A10, A10 and A11 often distinctly flattened ventrally, A10 rarely with sharp spine, articulation between A9, A10 and A 11 in extreme dorsal part, apical clavomere ventrally without pit; A1 elongate, cylindrical, without longitudinal keels, not armed apically; male antenna 14­segmented, A2 subspherical, A3–A14 usually cylindrical, rarely subpennicilate to almost verticillate, with dense, scattered hairs, A4 sexually modified or not; specialized brushes present on A8– A11 or A9–A11, rarely not developed. ME­ SOSOMA. Pronotum in dorsal view moderately developed, pronotal shoulders not developed, sides of pronotum moderately convex; epomium rarely developed but obscured by pronotal cushion; pronotal cushion usually strong and massive, consisting of densely packed fine pilosity, propleuron also densely hairy; mesoscutum only moderately convex, sometimes flat, lines, sulci, and depressions absent; anterior scutellar pit usually present, variable in shape, predominantly subcircular, rarely subbifoveate or absent; scutellar disc subquadrate, usually flat, sloping down posterolaterally, very rarely with moderate median keel; posterior margin of axilla usually rounded, axillar depression usually large and deep, with dense fine pilosity; mesopleuron usually flat or slightly convex, sometimes with moderate declivity in area of oblique median line; sternaulus absent; dorsellum moderately to densely hairy, keels sometimes obscured by pilosity, very rarely median keel strongly projecting; metapleuron generally rugulose, hairy, anterior depressed part with denser pilosity, posterior convex part with sparser nonapressed pilosity; propodeum relatively short, median keel strongly developed, usually raised into subtriangular point, rarely produced into spine, plica well developed, area between plica and median keel usually glabrous and highly shining, area anterior to plical area and sides of propodeum hairy; posterior margin of propodeum rimlike, moderately to deeply arcuate; forewing relatively short and broad, foremargin with row of long semierect bristles, wing often slightly to distinctly infuscate, venation distinctly exceeding basal third of wing length, submarginal vein almost straight, moderately to distinctly remote from foremargin, marginal and stigmal veins subtriangular in shape, stigmal vein often well defined, basal vein not developed but pigmented transverse strip often present below marginal vein; hind wing always with pigmented submarginal vein; wings sometimes strongly reduced in both sexes; legs moderately slender, femora and tibia clavate, tarsi not compressed, apex of anterior tibia at most with minute dorsal spine. METASO­ MA. Petiole robust, slightly to clearly elongate, often subquadrate, usually glabrous dorsally, with few strong longitudinal keels, rarely dorsally hairy, with abundant pilosity laterally and ventrally; metasoma past petiole slightly to distinctly elongate, only moderately convex dorsally, syntergite generally glabrous, sometimes with strip of fine pilosity anterolaterally; anterior margin of syntergite medially often raised, almost flexed, often moderately to distinctly excised medially; S2 anterolaterally with two hairy depressions, very rarely with large hairy cushion.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Doliopria is closely related to Basalys mainly be­ cause of the structure of the head, and the course of the submarginal vein in the forewing. Doliopria differs from Basalys principally in the structure of the female antenna as well as the absence of the basal vein in the forewing. Furthermore, the anterior margin of the syntergite is never excised or modified in Basalys . Doliopria reichenspergeri Ferrière was transferred to Szelenyiopria ( Fabritius, 1974) .

DISTRIBUTION: Doliopria is restricted to the New World, with only a few species in the Nearctic region and with a high number of undescribed species in tropical America. The genus is not known in Chile.

BIOLOGY: Host unknown. Three Neotropical species were described associated with ants ( Kieffer, 1910a, 1921; Ferrière, 1929); it is plausible to assume that they parasitize synoeketic Diptera because they show no specialized morphology. Ogloblin (1960) described several more Neotropical species with no data on hosts or habits.
