description: Gollumiella darlingi new species (Figs 9–11)
Diagnosis. This species keys to G. longipetiolata in Heraty (1992), from which it can be differentiated by the short antennal flagellum (0.7–0.82 X height of head) and scape (0.7– 0.81 X distance to top of median ocellus), and whitish yellow mid and hind coxae. The short scape and evenly brown petiole distinguishes this species from G. buffingtoni.
Female. Length 1.5–2.0 mm. Dark brown; flagellum and pedicel pale brown; scape yellowish white to pale brown; mandibles yellowish brown; legs including coxae yellowish white, but with fore coxae pale (holotype) or dark brown basally; ovipositor and third valvulae pale brown; distal tarsomeres brown; petiole evenly brown. Wings hyaline.
Head rounded, 1.14–1.20 X as broad as high. POL 0.8–1.05 X OOL. Face rounded and smooth with scattered fine setae, genae slightly convex in frontal view, sunken adjacent to clypeus; occiput glabrous or very finely aciculate, dorsal angle with occiput abrupt and with a single transverse carina. Clypeal margin broadly convex apically and with scattered fine setae. Eyes separated by 1.3–1.4 X their height. Malar space 0.58–0.75 X height of eye. Labrum with 4 long digits. Antenna 10–11 segmented; scape slightly expanded medioventrally, not reaching median ocellus, length 0.71–0.81 X distance between torulus and upper margin of median ocellus; 7–8 funicular segments, FL1 and FL2 separated (holotype and some paratypes) or partially fused (Fig. 11), combined length 3–3.2 X as long as broad, FL1 0.5–1.0 X as long as F2; flagellum 0.74–0.82 X height of head, setae of flagellum long, dense and semi­erect; clava tapering to acute point.
Mesosoma with rugose­alveolate sculpture, scutoscutellar sulcus deeply impressed and strongly carinate; scutellum as long as broad, frenal carina strongly developed and emarginate dorsally. Propleuron with one or two transverse carinae. Coxae smooth and semi­globose, hind coxa 1.5–2.0 X as long as broad; hind femur with few short inclinate setae laterally but mostly bare, tibia sparsely setose. Fore wing 2.3–2.6 X as long as broad (Fig. 10), 3.1–3.2 X length of mesothorax; speculum open basally; veins well defined; submarginal vein dorsally with few minute setae basally but otherwise bare; stigmal vein 1.0–1.5 X as long as broad, and wider than apical group of sensilla (Fig. 9); postmarginal vein poorly defined, usually 3.3–7.0 X as long as stigmal vein.
Petiole 2.3–2.7 X as long as hind coxa, 5.5–7.5 X as long as broad, linear in profile, irregularly longitudinally striate but with distal third mostly smooth. Hypopygium with 6 long hairs along apical margin. Dorsal valve of ovipositor broad and with a distinct median keel.
Male. Length 1.7–2.1 mm. Agrees with female except as follows: fore coxa evenly brown; eyes separated by 1.27 X their height; malar space 0.57 X height of eye; scape 1.08–1.31 X distance between torulus and upper margin of median ocellus; flagellum 0.69 X height of head; fore wing 2.9 X length of mesothorax; petiole 4.6 X as long as broad. Genitalia not examined.
