7B72F824FF9BFFC4FE0067C07B3D84AD.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. Head large, with occipital carina (Fig. 6). Gena slightly depressed at mouth corner; with strong lamina (Fig. 1). Lower margin of clypeus with angulate median tooth (Fig. 2). The flagellum consists of two anelli, six funicular segments, and a four-segmented clava (Antennal formula 11264); anelli small; clava with large micropilosity area on C 1 – C 4 (Fig. 3). Antennal toruli situated above level of lower edges of eyes; antennal scrobes deep (Fig. 2). Mandibles strongly sinuate. Mesosoma robust with black colouring (Fig. 1); margin of pronotum without carina (Fig. 4), as wide as mesoscutum; notauli deep and complete (Fig. 6); mesopleuron ventral with cross carina. Scutellum arched (Fig. 1), without conspicuous sublateral grooves, distinct frenal area and frenal groove (Fig. 8). Propodeum reticulate; without costula, with distinct median carina and plicae; nucha distinct; propodeal spiracles near to front margin of sclerite (Fig. 8). Fore wing with small speculum; M slender, longer than PM; S short (Fig. 5). Hind coxa dorsally bare; hind tibia with two spurs. Metasoma with short petiole (Fig. 1); Mt 2 long (Fig. 7); metasoma laterally with setae (Fig. 1); cerci with setae subequal in length; ovipositor not much protruding (Fig. 7). The genus Uniclypea is similar to Pycnetron Gahan, 1925 in having the large head (Figs 4, 11); gena with lamina (Figs 1, 9); mesosoma robust with black colouring (Figs 1, 9), mesopleuron ventral with cross carina (as Fig. 13); notauli complete (Figs 6, 11). However, Uniclypea differs from Pycnetron by the clavate antenna and clava with large micropilosity area on C 1 – C 4 (Fig. 3) vs antenna not clavate, clava with small micropilosity area on C 3 – C 4 (Fig. 10); lower margin of clypeus with angulate median tooth (Fig. 2) vs lower margin of clypeus straight (Fig. 12); last metasomal tergite short (Figs 1, 7) vs last metasomal tergite long (Fig. 9).	en	Tselikh, E.

7B72F824FF98FFC0FF1466F07C6B81C2.taxon	diagnosis	DIAGNOSIS. Uniclypea robusta sp. n. is similar to U. kumarani in having an occipital carina, a median carina on the propodeum, strong plicae and depressed median area, and a metasoma 2.8 – 3.4 times as long as broad, approximately equal to the combined length of the mesosoma and head. However, females of Uniclypea robusta sp. n. differ in having a POL 1.06 – 1.10 times as long as OOL (vs 1.50 x in U. kumarani); a propodeum with strong median carina (vs weak) and antenna with F 1 – F 6 dark brown (vs testaceous).
