Description. MALE. Body length 6.4 mm. LFW 5.1 mm. Color. Head and mesosoma black; clypeus and propodeum dark castaneous; mandible, antennae and metasoma castaneous; legs light castaneous; wings brownish. Head (Figs 4, 18). Mandible with five apical teeth; uppermost convex, others angulate; large, subequal in length. Median clypeal lobe trapezoidal; apical margin strongly medially ventrad; carina high, arched in profile. Antennal torulus slightly prominent. Flagellomeres median-sized; four first antennomeres in ratio about 16:5:7:6; pedicel short, 1.25 × as long as wide; flagellomere I 1.75 × as long as wide; flagellomere IX 1.50 × as long as wide; flagellar pubescence suberect and erect, about half of diameter of flagellomeres. Frons coriaceous; densely punctate. WH 1.03 × LH. WF 0.75 × WH. WF 1.90 × HE. Eye small, salient; pilosity very sparse. Ocellus small. DAO 0.14 × WF; frontal angle of ocellar triangle acute. WOT 2.7 × DAO. OOL 1.25 × WOT. Distance of posterior ocellus to vertex crest 1.7 × DAO. VOL 1.1 × HE. Temple slightly divergent. Vertex straight. Occipital carina illdefined.
Mesosoma (Fig. 25). Pronotal disc and mesonotum slightly coriaceous; densely punctate. Pronotal collar long. Pronotal declivity high. Pronotal disc 0.35 × 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 1.20 × as long as wide; 0.57 × 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 strigulate; side of propodeum polished. Mesopleuron slightly coriaceous; callus absent; fovea shallow; mesopleural pit absent. Metacarpus 0.37 × radial vein; discoidal vein strongly pigmented, not interstitial with median; first recurrent strongly pigmented; subdiscoidal vein slightly pigmented.
Metasoma. Hypopygium (Fig. 45) 1.15 × as long as wide; posterior margin slightly trilobate; median lobe convex, wide; lateral lobe convex, very short; lateral margin straight; anterior pigmented line not defined; median stalk long; lateral stalk present, rectangular, inconspicuous. Genitalia (Figs 67–68): 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, ♂. S. VIETNAM, Lam Gong, Bidoup Nuiba N. P., nr. Da Lat, Mal. Trap 1–12, 1650– 1700 m, 11–19.X.2005, C. v. Achterberg & R. de Vries, RMNH’05.
Distribution. Vietnam (Lam Gong).
Remarks. Caloapenesia edas sp. nov. is very similar to C. heira sp. nov. by presents head elongate; eye and ocelli small; aedeagus uniformly wide. But C. edas sp. nov. presents median clypeal lobe trapezoidal; occipital carina inconspicuous; scutellum totally polished; hypopygium slightly trilobate, with median lobe wider than in C. heira sp. nov. Caloapenesia edas sp. nov. resembles C. paruwa sp. nov. by presents head elongate; eye and ocelli small; aedeagus uniformly wide; hypopygium slightly trilobate. But C. edas sp. nov. presents uppermost tooth of mandible convex; hypopigial lateral lobe more conspicuous than in C. paruwa sp. nov. Caloapenesia edas sp. nov. resembles too C. launeci sp. nov. by median clypeal lobe trapezoidal. But C. edas sp. nov. presents clypeus trapezoidal with corners convex.
