Taxonomy
Key to Arhaconotus species from Australasian and Oriental regions (based on females)
1. Medio-posterior margin of sixth metasomal tergites without emargination (Figs 2H, 3B, 4H; see Fig. 11 in Belokobylskij, 2000) 2
- Medio-posterior margin of sixth metasomal tergites more or less with emargination [Fig. 6H; see Fig. 6 in Tang et al. (2010), Figs 224 and 236 in Belokobylskij (2001) and Fig. 136 in Belokobylskij & Maéto 2009]............................. 4
2. Vertex and mesossutum mostly smooth; subdiscal cell of fore wing roundly closed before vein m-cu [see Fig. 4 in Belokobylskij (2000)]. Papua New Guinea .............................................. Arhaconotus papuanus Belokobylskij
- Vertex and mesossutum granulate; subdiscal cell of fore wing near rectangularly closed at level or slightly behind vein m-cu [Figs 2I, 4K; see Fig. 222 in Belokobylskij (2000), Fig. 13E in Belokobylskij & Maéto (2009)]....................... 3
3. In lateral view, maxillary palp 1.3 × length of head; subdiscal cell of fore wing closed behind vein m-cu (Fig. 4K); second subbmarginal cell of fore wing broad, basal length 3.0 × its maximum width; fifth tergite striate in basal two third; sixth metasomal tergite rugo-punctate basally, semi-circurlarly striate apically (Fig. 4H). Vietnam .. A. hoabinhicus Long, sp. nov.
- In lateral view, maxillary palp as long as length of head; subdiscal cell of fore wing closed at level of vein m-cu (Fig. 2I); second subbmarginal cell of fore wing slender, basal length 3.3 × its maximum width; fifth tergite finely punctate basally, almost smooth apically sixth tergite largely smooth apically (Fig. 2H). Vietnam ................. A. belokobylskiji Long, sp. nov.
4. Medio-postrerior margin of sixth metasomal tergite with a shallow wide emargination [see Fig. 6 in Tang et al. (2010)]; occipital carina not joined bellow with hypostomal carina upper base of mandible (Fig. 7A). China, Vietnam .......................................................................................... A. hainanensis Tang & Chen
- Medio-postrerior margin of sixth metasomal tergite with a rather deep narrow emargination [Fig.6H, and see Figs 224, 236 in Belokobylskij (2001)]; occipital carina joined bellow with hypostomal carina upper base of mandible (Fig. 6 C)......... 5
5. Propodeum with marginate areola posteriorly (Fig. 6F); ovipositor sheath long, length of ovipositor sheath subequal or equal to fore wing; sixth metasomal tergite with median transverse carina-like rugosity, densely punctulate on basal half, semicircularly striate on apical half (Fig. 6H).
