Fig. 9 View Fig
Diagnosis
Female
All funiculars wider than long, Fu3 anelliform ( Fig. 9D View Fig ); ventral margin of clypeus weakly convex ( Fig. 9C View Fig ); head in frontal view with gena buccate ( Fig. 9C View Fig ); hind tibia length 6.6–6.8 × width; gaster longer than combined length of head and mesosoma and strongly compressed laterally ( Fig. 9A View Fig ); tip of hypopygium not incised (cf. Fig. 7I View Fig ); ovipositor sheath length 0.5–0.6× length of hind tibia.
Male
Fore and mid tibiae normal, hind tibia strongly inflated, length 2.6–2.8× width ( Fig. 9B View Fig ). All funicular segments wider than long ( Fig. 9E View Fig ). Fore wing with upper side of basal cell densely and uniformly setose.
Etymology
The species name refers to the elongated body that characterizes the females of this species (from the Latin adjective ‛ longus ’ = ‛long’).

Description
Female holotype
Body length: 1.0 mm. Colour as in Fig. 9 View Fig . Head in frontal view with vertex protruding between posterior ocelli ( Fig. 9C View Fig ). Gena buccate ( Fig. 9C View Fig ). Ventral margin of clypeus weakly convex ( Fig. 9C View Fig ). Upper face almost wholly very superficially sculptured except rare piliferous punctures ( Fig. 9C View Fig ). Length of pedicel plus flagellum about equal to head width. All funiculars wider than long, Fu3 anelliform ( Fig. 9D View Fig ). Mesosoma dorsally almost flat ( Fig. 9A View Fig ). Pronotum shorter than mesoscutum ( Fig. 9F View Fig ). Basal cell of fore wing entirely setose on upper side ( Fig. 9G View Fig ). MV about 3× SV. Hind tibia length about 6.6× width. Gaster longer than combined length of head and mesosoma and strongly compressed laterally ( Fig. 9A View Fig ). Tip of hypopygium not incised (cf. Fig. 7I View Fig ). Ovipositor sheath length about 0.5 × length of hind tibia.
Male allotype
Body length: 0.8 mm. Differs from the female holotype mainly in the structure of the antenna (see generic diagnosis) and the characters given in the above species diagnosis; gaster much shorter ( Fig. 9B View Fig ).
Variation
Female
Body length: 1.00– 1.25 mm. MV about 3.0–3.3× SV. Hind tibia length about 6.6–6.8× width. Ovipositor sheath length about 0.5–0.6× length of hind tibia.
Male
Body length: 0.8–1.1 mm. Hind tibia length about 2.6–2.8 × width.
Distribution
Zimbabwe.
Hosts
Unknown.
