description: <i>Eupsenella janda</i> Ramos &amp; Azevedo, sp. nov. (Figs 34, 79, 124) <b>Description.</b> FEMALE (holotype). Body length 5.38 mm. LFW 4.05 mm. <i>Coloration.</i> Head dark castaneous almost black; scape, pedicel light castaneous and flagellum light castaneous; mandible castaneous with teeth dark castaneous; palpi light castaneous; mesosoma dark castaneous almost black; tegula dark castaneous; wing venation light castaneous; coxae, trochanters, femora and tarsi light castaneous; metasoma dark castaneous almost black. <i>Head</i> (Fig. 34). Head as long as wide, globoid in profile; gena without concavity in profile. Mandible evenly wide, two lowermost teeth larger than upper ones, lower tooth curved inward, lower margin strongly setose. Clypeus coriaceous, median clypeal lobe angulate, median concavity of median clypeal lobe absent, 0.07 LH, well marked off from frons, median carina present, 0.13 LH. Malar space conspicuous, 0.29 mandibular base. Antenna 1.95 mm; first five antennomeres in ratio of about 9:10:10:10:10; flagellomere 1 1.11 longer than wide, flagellar pubescence dense, with few outstanding erect setae. Region between torulus and eye slightly concave. Area between the anterior margin of eyes and demarkation of median clypeal lobe 0.14 LH. Eye not protuberant, 0.54 LH, with sparse hairs, located more laterally, lower margin without strong depression. Frons coriaceous-punctate. WH 1.0 LH. WF 0.61 WH. WF 1.27 HE. OOL 1.6 WOT. VOL 0.45 HE. Distance from posterior ocellus to vertex crest 0.5 DAO. Ocelli large, DAO 0.14 WF, ocellar triangle compact, distance between posterior ocelli 1.1 DAO, anterior ocellus not surpassing imaginary top eye line, posterior ocellus almost reaching vertex. Vertex straight, short setae, 0.13 LH, temple profile slightly convergent in dorsal view, with corner convex, not projected posterolaterad. Hipostomal carina arched, low. <i>Mesosoma</i> (Fig. 79). Pronotal disc coriaceous-punctate, 0.38 as long as wide, anterior corner angulate, posterior margin concave medially, pronotal disc without short longitudinal furrow. Parapsidal furrow inconspicuous. Notauli convergent posterad. Mesoscutum 0.95 length pronotal disc. Scutellum coriaceouspunctate, 0.95 length pronotal disc, almost flat in profile, posterior margin convex medially, scutellar pit elliptical, narrowed, distant each other 14.0 its own diameter. Dorsal axillar surface with fovea oval. Metanotum with median region high, coriaceous-puncticulate, as high as scutellum in profile, with fovea oval laterally. Propodeal disc wider than long; anterior margin without foveolate or transverse furrow; median carina 0.75 length propodeal disc, incomplete posterad; discal carina 0.55 length propodeal disc, surpassing half length of propodeal disc, parallel to median carina, converging posterad, straight; space between median and discal carina confused-rugulose. Mesopleuron with subtegular furrow oval; mesepimeral suture almost inconspicuous posterad; mesopleural epicoxal lobe inconspicuous. Propleuron with sequence of foveae from anterior margin of prosternum until cervical collar absent. Prosternum with median excavation complete, median suture present. Mesopectus with posterior depression composed by two large foveae almost fused; median suture not evident. <i>Wings.</i> Macropterous. Forewing (Fig. 124) with 1M cell subtriangular; 1M and 1R1 cells aligned basally; C cell widening distally; 1R1 cell present, slightly longer than 2R1 cell, evenly wide; Rs <i>b</i> straight; 2R1 cell 0.17 LFW; distal margin of Rs <i>c</i> convex; r-rs vein inclined; R1 <i>b</i> entirely on anterior margin of forewing; Cu <i>b</i> absent; Rs+M vein 0.44 Rs <i>a</i>; M vein 1.0 Rsa; Rs <i>a</i> subperpendicular to anterior margin of forewing; stigma rectangular; distal stigmal margin truncate. Hind wing with four distal hamuli, last hamulus discontinuous each other. <i>Legs.</i> Profemur swollen, 0.45 as wide as long. Metacoxa with median region 0.5 as wide as long. Metacoxal projection in dorsal region conspicuous, apex rounded. <i>Metasoma.</i> 0.32 as wide as long, except first two tergites, ventral carina of petiole present. MALE. Unknown. <b>Material examined.</b> <i>Holotype</i>. AUSTRALIA, 19.00S 146.12E, Q[ueensland], Paluma, 25 Oct [ober]–3 Nov [ember] 1980, D.Frith, Malaise Trap, ANIC. <b>Distribution.</b> Australia (Queensland). <b>Remarks.</b> This species is similar to <i>E. jadira</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> by having the area between the anterior margin of eyes and demarkation of median clypeal lobe short, the eyes densely hairy, the median clypeal lobe angulate, short, with median carina extending to the frons, the ocelli large, the propodeal disc with lateral discal and median carina, the Cu <i>a</i> of forewing aligned with Rs <i>b</i> basally. However this species has the pronotal disc long, with anterior margin straight, the C cell of forewing conspicuous for more than two thirds of its length, the 1M cell of forewing reduced, almost subtriangular, whereas <i>E. jadira</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> has the pronotal disc shorter, with anterior margin slightly convex, the C cell of forewing conspicuous for only distally, the 1M cell of forewing large and subpentagonal.
