Description. MALE. Body length 3.5 mm. LFW 2.5 mm. Color. Head and clypeus black; mesosoma and scape dark castaneous; mandible, rest of antennae, pronotal collar, end of pronotum and legs castaneous; wings browish. Head ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 1 – 12 ). Mandible with five apical teeth; uppermost convex, others angulate; large, subequal in length. Median clypeal lobe convex; apical margin slightly medially ventrad, with median tooth conspicuous; carina high, arched in profile. Antennal torulus slightly prominent. Flagellomeres median-sized; four first antennomeres in ratio about 9:2:3:3; pedicel long, 1.25 × as long as wide; flagellomere I 1.65 × as long as wide; flagellomere IX 1.65 × as long as wide; flagellar pubescence suberect, about half of diameter of flagellomeres. Frons coriaceous; densely punctate. WH 0.92 × LH. WF 0.75 × WH. WF 1.81 × HE. Eye small, salient; pilosity sparse. Ocellus small. DAO 0.14 × WF; frontal angle of ocellar triangle acute. WOT 2.75 × DAO. OOL 1.18 × WOT. Distance of posterior ocellus to vertex crest 1.62 × DAO. VOL 1.06 × HE. Temple slightly divergent. Vertex straight. Occipital carina incomplete, not visible in dorsal view.

Mesosoma ( Fig. 26 View FIGURES 22 – 30 ). Pronotal disc and mesonotum coriaceous; densely punctate. Pronotal collar long. Pronotal declivity high. Pronotal disc 0.41 × as long as wide. Notauli strongly conspicuous; complete; slightly convergent. Parapsidal furrow complete. Scutellar furrow long, slender, shallow, scrobiculate, posterior margin sinuous. Median region of scutellum polished, not punctate. Median region of metanotum short, wide. Inner foveae of metanotal furrow not delimited. Propodeal disc 1.10 × as long as wide; 0.52 × as high as long; basal triangle conspicuous, rugulose, rest of disc coriaceous; median carina absent; paramedian carina absent; lateral carina absent; sublateral carina absent; transversal carina absent; declivity medially strigulate, laterally punctate; side of propodeum slightly coriaceous. Mesopleuron slightly coriaceous; callus absent; fovea absent; mesopleural pit absent. Metacarpus 0.26 × radial vein; discoidal vein strongly pigmented, not interstitial with median; first recurrent slightly pigmented; subdiscoidal vein absent.

Metasoma. Hypopygium ( Fig. 46 View FIGURES 42 – 50 ) 1.13 × as long as wide; posterior margin strongly trilobate; median lobe convex, slender; lateral lobe convex, long; lateral margin slightly convex; anterior pigmented line ill-defined, slender; median stalk long; lateral stalk absent. Genitalia ( Figs 69–70 View FIGURES 68 – 76 ): aedeagus uniformly wide; apical margin of ventral paramere convex; dorsal paramere as wide as ventral one, glabrous; basivolsella not excavated; inner margin of cuspis convex; genital ring long.

FEMALE unknown.

Material examined. Holotype, ♂. C. VIETNAM, Thua Thien Hué, Phong Dién N. P., nr. base-camp, 15 Km W Phong My, c 100 m, 22.III–6.IV.2001, Mal. trap 1–3, C. v. Achterberg & R. de Vries, RMNH’01.

Distribution. Vietnam (Thua Thien Hué).

Remarks. Caloapenesia heira sp. nov. resembles C. edas sp. nov. by present head elongate; eye and ocelli small; aedeagus uniformly wide. But C. heira sp. nov. presents median clypeal lobe rounded; scape shorter than in C. edas sp. nov.; occipital carina conspicuous; scutellum medialy polished; hypopygium strongly trilobate, with median lobe slender than in C. edas sp. nov.
