Type material examined. Holotype female [ MLPA] on slide ( Fig. 27 View FIGURES 27 – 29 ) labeled: 1. “LORETO (Prov. de Misiones) Col. Ogloblin 10-V-1932 2682/1 [in pencil, MLPA type number added later]”; 2. “ Leptomastix malenotus Det. De Santis HOLOTIPO ♀ MUSEO DE LA PLATA ”. The holotype ( Fig. 29 View FIGURES 27 – 29 ) is in fair condition although poorly cleared, mounted dorsoventrally.

Distribution. Argentina: Misiones ( De Santis 1972).

Hosts. Unknown.

Taxonomic notes. This species was described from a single female ( De Santis 1972). Both Noyes (1980, 2000) and Kerrich (1982) considered the possibility that it might be a mere color form of A. diversicornis (Howard) . Although this is possible, we are not able to properly assess intraspecific variability in A. diversicornis or A. montivagus ( De Santis) . For practical reasons we prefer to keep all three names as valid, separating the putative species as indicated in the key. The holotype of A. malenotus has the fore wing ( Fig. 29 View FIGURES 27 – 29 ) about 2.6× as long as wide, whereas in A. diversicornis it is about 2.5× as long as wide ( Noyes 2000). However, coloration of flagellar segments of the female antennae differs between the two. Some other morphological features of the holotype of A. malenotus are as follows: antenna ( Figs 28, 29 View FIGURES 27 – 29 ) with scape slender and with a dark brown band in the middle, its length (minus radicle) equal to combined length of F1–F3; apex of pedicel white; F1 dark brown, F2–F6 and clava pale or light brownish; funicular segments and clava with mps (F1 with 1 short mps at apex, F2 with 3, F3 with 4, F4 with 4, F5 with 4, and F6 with 5 mps); clava slightly shorter than combined length of F4–F6; scutellar placoid sensilla closer to apex of scutellum and close to each other; fore wing with postmarginal vein about as long as stigmal vein; ovipositor 1.16× as long as metatibia.
