( Figs 16 , 37 , 57 , 91, 92 )

Description. MALE. Body length 5.2 mm. LFW 3.6 mm. Color. Head, clypeus and mesosoma black; mandible, antennae, metasoma and legs castaneous; wings sightly brownish.

Head ( Fig. 16 ). Mandible with five apical teeth; uppermost one blunt, others angulate; large, subequal in length. Median clypeal lobe convex; apical margin strongly medially ventrad, with median tooth slightly conspicuous; carina high, arched in profile. Antennal torulus slightly prominent. Flagellomeres median-sized; four first antennomeres in ratio about 13:3:6:7; pedicel short, 1.0 × as long as wide; flagellomere I 1.50 × as long as wide; flagellomere IX 1.70 × as long as wide; flagellar pubescence suberect, about half of diameter of flagellomeres. Frons polished; densely punctate. WH 1.0 × LH. WF 0.59 × WH. WF 1.06 × HE. Eye very large, very salient; pilosity sparse. Ocellus large. DAO 0.25 × WF; frontal angle of ocellar triangle acute. WOT 2.50 × DAO. OOL 0.50 × WOT. Distance of posterior ocellus to vertex crest 1.25 × DAO. VOL 0.53 × HE. Temple parallel. Vertex straight. Occipital carina complete, not visible in dorsal view.

Mesosoma ( Fig. 37 ). Pronotal disc and mesonotum polished; densely punctate. Pronotal collar long. Pronotal declivity high. Pronotal disc 0.48 × as long as wide. Notauli strongly conspicuous; complete; convergent. Parapsidal furrow complete. Scutellar furrow long, slender, shallow, scrobiculate, posterior margin sinuous.

Median region of scutellum not punctate. Median region of metanotum very short, wide. Inner foveae of metanotal furrow not delimited. Propodeal disc 1.0 × as long as wide; 0.52 × as high as long; basal triangle conspicuous, rugulose, rest of disc polished; median carina absent; paramedian carina inconspicuous, long; lateral carina absent; sublateral carina absent; transversal carina absent; declivity strigulate; side of propodeum polished. Mesopleuron polished; callus absent; fovea shallow; mesopleural pit absent. Metacarpus 0.29 × radial vein; discoidal vein slightly pigmented, not interstitial with median; first recurrent slightly pigmented; subdiscoidal vein slightly pigmented.

Metasoma. Hypopygium ( Fig. 57 ) 1.12 × as long as wide; posterior margin slightly trilobate; median lobe convex, wide; lateral lobe subangulate, very short; lateral margin slightly convex; anterior pigmented line illdefined, wide; median stalk long; lateral stalk present, rectangular, conspicuous. Genitalia ( Figs 91–92 ): aedeagus uniformly wide; apical margin of ventral paramere convex; dorsal paramere as wide as ventral one, glabrous; basivolsella slightly excavated; inner margin of cuspis sinuous; genital ring long.

FEMALE unknown.

Material examined. Holotype, ♂. THAILAND, Sakon Nakhon, Phu Phan NP, Dry evergreen near office, 16°48.618’N 103°53.476’E, 526m, Malaise trap, 4–10.vi.2007, Winlon Kongnara leg., T2494, QSBG.

Distribution. Thailand (Sakon Nakhon).

Remarks. Caloapenesia supra sp. nov. resembles C. thailandiana by present ocelli large; lateral stalk of hypopygium rectangular; aedeagus uniformly wide; genital ring elongate. But C. supra sp. nov. presents eye bigger and more salient than in C. thailandiana ; flagellomere I longer than in C. thailandiana ; hypopygium with median lobe convex, lateral lobe angulate and slightly conspicuous, lateral margin slightly convex. Caloapenesia supra sp. nov. too resembles C. sabeli sp. nov. by presents temple divergent; ocellus large; teeth large; lateral stalk of hypopygium rectangular; aedeagus uniformly wide. But C. supra sp. nov. presents eye bigger than in C. sabeli sp. nov.; lateral lobe of posterior margin of hypopygium conspicuous.
