Glypta kamijoi Momoi 1966: 47 View in CoL .

Description: Female (n=4). Body length 7.0– 7.5 mm.

Head. Ca. 0.7 times as long as wide. Clypeus 0.6–0.7 times as long as wide, roundly convex in lateral view ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 J). Face weakly convex medially ( Fig. 2 View FIGURE 2 J), 0.5 times as long as wide. Frons with a large median horn between each antennal socket, its apex with median notch and relateively rounded ( Figs. 1 View FIGURE 1 J, 3 I). OOL 1.0–1.2 times as long as OD; POL 1.2–1.4 times as long as OD. Mandible with narrow ventral flange by basal 0.6, its base slightly convex. MSL 1.2–1.3 times as long as BWM. Antenna with 40 flagellomeres. F1 1.5–1.7 times as long as F2.

Mesosoma. Punctate, punctures on lateral lobes of mesoscutum (excluding near notaulus) separated by 0.3–2.0 (usually ca. 1.0) times their diameter. Epomia weak and short. Both sides of mesoscutum near tegula weakly and obtusely produced posteriorly. Propodeum entirely densely punctate except for narrow smooth area anteromedially. Posterior transverse carina and pleural carina of propodeum complete. Other carinae of propodeum absent. Fore wing length 6.0– 6.5 mm. Fore coxa with weak ridge antero-dorsally. Hind femur 6.0–6.4 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS1 2.0–2.1 times as long as TS2.

Metasoma. T1–T4 punctate ( Figs. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 J, 7 J). T1 1.2 times as long as maximum width, its median dorsal carina present on ca. basal 0.5 of tergite ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6. T 1 J). T2 1.0 times as long as maximum width. T2–T4 each with moderate a pair of oblique groove ( Fig. 7 View FIGURE 7. T 2 J). Ovipositor sheath ca. 1.3 times as long as fore wing, 2.9–3.1 times as long as hind tibia.

Colouration. Body (excluding wings and legs) black, except for: apical part of clypeus, small spot of mandible, palpi, posterodorsal corner of pronotum, tegula, membranous parts of sternites and posterior part of subgenital plate yellowish-brown; posterior margin of each metasomal tergite tinged with reddish-brown; antenna blackishbrown, its ventral surface slightly paler than dorsal surface; ovipositor reddish-brown to yellowish-brown. Wings hyaline; veins and pterostigma yellowish-brown except for yellow wing base. Fore and mid legs reddish-brown to yellowish-brown. Hind leg ( Fig. 5 View FIGURE 5 B) blackish-brown to black, except for: trochantellus, base of tibia whitishyellow; tarsus largely black with narrow, indistinct basal yellow area on TS1.

Male. No additional specimens available.

Material examined (n=4). JAPAN: 1F (holotype), Hokkaido Pref., Bibai, 23. vii. 1964, em. from Cymolomia hartigiana, K. Kamijo leg. ( MNHAH); 1F, Hokkaido Pref., Nopporo, 26. iv. 1992, Y. Sakamaki leg. ( NIAES); 1F, Hokkaido Pref., Sapporo, 27. viii. 1965 (KU); 1F, same locality and collector, 23. vii. 1966 (KU).

Distribution ( Fig. 12 View FIGURE 12 ). Japan (Hokkaido).

Biology. The following hosts were recorded in Japan: Christoneura coniferana and Cymolomia hartigiana ( Lepidoptera : Tortricidae ) ( Momoi 1966).

Remarks. This species resembles G. elongata elongata Holmgren 1860 and G. elongate montana Kuslitzky 1977 in the slender body and the long MSL, but it can be distinguished by the largely black hind leg (largely reddish-brown in elongata elongata and elongata montana ), the black metasoma (with large red area in elongata elongata ) and the long ovipositor (ca. 1. 3 times as long as fore wing in kamijoi but slightly longer than fore wing in elongata montana ). This species is also similar to G. aceres and G. ichitai sp. nov., but it can easily be distinguished from them (see Remarks under ichitai ).
