Oodera leibnizi sp. n. Figs 3d View Figure 3 , 6d View Figure 6 , 9d View Figure 9 , 12d View Figure 12 , 15d View Figure 15
Diagnosis.
BOTH SEXES (N = 4). Small-sized (5.31-6.06 mm). Head and mesosoma dark green to blue-green. Fore wing partly weakly infumate. Body robust to medium (mesonotum 1.34-1.42 × as long as wide). Head round (1.29-1.42 × as high as long). Eyes large (0.60-0.66 × as high as head) (Fig. 9d View Figure 9 ). Corona structure three- to four-part (Fig. 6d View Figure 6 ). Pronotum pentagonal with posterior part distinctly narrowing towards mesoscutum, with broadest part before midlength (Fig. 12d View Figure 12 ). Mesoscutellum normal to slender (0.69-0.83 × as long as wide), anterior margin hardly convex (part anterior to imaginary transverse line connecting posterior margins of axillae less than or exactly 1/3 of mesoscutellum length; 0.26-0.33), mesoscutellum lineate in anterior two thirds, rugose in posterior third (Fig. 15d View Figure 15 ). Propodeum medium to large (0.14-0.24 × as long as mesoscutum) (Fig. 15d View Figure 15 ). Profemur usually elongated (2.02-2.43 × as long as wide, with only 1 of 4 with profemur medium). Marginal vein long (1.21-1.27 × as long as postmarginal vein).
FEMALE. Corona thick (3.64-4.00 × as long as wide). Metasoma short (0.45-0.45 × as long as body). Ovipositor short (0.08-0.10 × as long as metasoma) (Fig. 3d View Figure 3 ).
MALE. Corona medium (4.36 × as long as wide).
Description.
BOTH SEXES. Colour (Figs 3d View Figure 3 , 6d View Figure 6 , 9d View Figure 9 , 12d View Figure 12 , 15d View Figure 15 ). Antenna dark brown. Procoxa and profemur light to dark green, all other parts of legs dark brown, except for yellow last tarsal segments. Metasoma dark brown.
Head (Figs 6d View Figure 6 , 9d View Figure 9 ). Face completely reticulate. Head 1.24-1.42 × as wide as long. Head width 3.28-3.63 × eye distance. Malar space 0.34-0.41 × head height. Corona 0.52-0.59 × as long as eye height. POL 1.00-1.67 × OOL. Scape 2.48-2.63 × as long as pedicel. Clava 0.21 × as long as funicle. Flagellum 1.34 × as long as head width.
Mesosoma (Figs 12d View Figure 12 , 15d View Figure 15 ). Pronotum 0.99-1.00 × as long as wide. Pronotum 0.95-1.11 × as long as mesonotum. Mesonotum 1.40-1.50 × as long as mesoscutum. Mesoscutum 0.91-0.96 × as long as wide. Mesoscutellum 0.40-0.50 × as long as mesoscutum. Profemur 1.29-1.47 × as long as protibia.
Wings (Fig. 3d View Figure 3 ). Fore wing 2.99-3.78 × as long as wide. Costal cell 0.37-0.39 × as long as fore wing. Marginal vein 0.18-0.20 × as long as fore wing. Marginal vein 2.72-3.17 × as long as stigmal vein. Postmarginal vein 2.24-2.53 × as long as stigmal vein.
Material examined.
ASIA. Philippines: female holotype, S.O. Luzon, determined as O. ornata by anonymous (BMNH) (OLe01); Malaysia: female paratype, Perak, leg. K. Staudinger, identified as Oodera by Bouček, later as O. ornata by anonymous (BMNH) (OLe02); Papua New Guinea: male paratype, Bulolo, Manki , leg. H. Roberts, 30.07.1981, identified as O. gracilis by Bouček (1984), crossed out by anonymous (BMNH) (OLe03); male paratype, Bulolo, Manki, leg. H. Roberts, 30.07.1981 (BMNH) (OLe04) .
Biology.
Unknown.
Distribution.
Malaysia, Philippines (both Oriental part of Asia), Papua New Guinea (Australasian part of Asia).
Etymology.
Named in honour of Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716) on the occasion of his 300th death day. The Zoologisches Forschungsmuseum Alexander Koenig in which this study was done is part of the Leibniz Association, named after Leibniz.
Taxonomic remarks.
The two specimens from Malaysia and the Philippines were originally identified as O. ornata (valid species name O. longicollis ), one of the specimens from Papua New Guinea was identified by Bouček as O. gracilis in 1984, later crossed out by an unknown person. The new species is rather easily distinguished from O. longicollis and O. gracilis , as O. longicollis and O. gracilis exhibit exceptionally long ovipositors and bright metallic colours on head and mesosoma while O. leibnizi sp. n. does not.
