description: Dinotrema pappi Peris-Felipo, sp. nov.
(Figs 68–79)
Etymology. Named in honor Dr Jëno Papp, well-known Hungarian hymenopterist for his great contribution to study of the World Braconidae.
Type material. Holotype: female, Spain, Alicante Province, Alcoi, Natural Park of Carrascal de la Font Roja, 0 2.01.2007 (F.J. Peris-Felipo leg.) (ENV). Paratype: 1 female, same label, but 13.01.2005 (ENV).
Description. Female.
Head. In dorsal view, 1.60x as wide as median length, 1.35–1.40x as wide as mesoscutum, smooth, with rounded temples behind eyes. Eye in lateral view 1.75x as high as wide, 1.20x as wide as temple. POL 2.80–2.85x OD; OOL 2.65–2.70x OD. Face 0.70x as wide as high; inner margins of eyes subparallel. Clypeus 2.50x as wide as high, slightly curved ventrally. Paraclypeal fovea elongate, reaching middle distance between clypeus and eye. Mandible distinctly widened towards apex, 1.35–1.40x as long as its maximum width. Upper tooth rather large, distinctly shorter than middle tooth, pointed apically. Middle tooth the longest, relatively narrow, pointed apically.
Lower tooth rounded, short, smaller than upper tooth. Antennae thick, 18-segmented, shorter than body. Scape 3.00x as long as pedicel. First flagellar segment 3.00x as long as its apical width, 1.20–1.25x as long as second segment; second segment 2.45–2.50x as long as its maximum width. Third to tenth flagellar segments 1.60–1.70x, eleven and twelve segment 1.90–2.00x, thirteenth – 2.20x, fourteenth – 2.00x, fifteenth – 2.10x, and sixteenth segment 2.00x as long as their maximum width.
Mesosoma. In lateral view, as long as high. Mesoscutum as long as maximum width with two rows of double setae around trace of notauli. Notauli absent at most posterior part. Mesoscutal pit present, elongate. Prescutellar depression smooth, with distinct median carina. Sternaulus (precoxal suture) present, short, far not reaching anterior and posterior parts of mesopleuron. Posterior mesopleural furrow crenulate in lower half. Propodeum narrowly smooth, with median longitudinal carina crossing from anterior to posterior its margins, with numerous transverse carinae emerging from median carina and not reaching the propodeal edges. Propodeal spiracles relatively small.
Legs. Hind femur 4.90–5.00x as long as wide. Hind tibia weakly widened to apex, 12.30x as long as its maximum subapical width, 1.00–1.05x as long as hind tarsus. First segment of hind tarsus 2.00x as long as second segment.
Wings. Length of fore wing 2.85–2.90x its maximum width. Vein r1 present. Radial cell reaching to apex of wing, 6.10–6.15x as long as its maximum width. Nervulus distinctly postfurcal. Brachial cell closed, rather long, widened apically, 3.20x as long as its maximum width. Hind wing 6.50x as long as its maximum width.
Metasoma. Distinctly compressed laterally. First tergite weakly widened towards apex, 2.00x as long as its apical width, almost entirely smooth in apical half. Ovipositor 1.50–1.55x as long as first tergite, distinctly shorter than metasoma, 0.90–0.95x as long as hind femur.
Colour. Body and legs brown to dark brown. Wings hyaline. Pterostigma brown.
Length. Body 2.25–2.30 mm; fore wing 3.00 mm.
Male. Unknown.
Diagnosis. This new species resembles D. significarium (Fischer), but differs from it in having the mandible 1.35–1.40x as long as wide (only 1.20x in D. significarium), low tooth smaller than upper tooth (larger in D. significarium), middle tooth narrow (wide in D. significarium), hind femur 4.90–5.00x as long as its maximum width (4.00x in D. significarium), first flagellar segment 3.00x as long as wide (3.80–4.00x in D. significarium), and first metasomal tergite without carinae in apical half (with two distinct carinae in D. significarium).
