Xanthopimpla barodaensis spec. nov. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae).

Abstract

An ochraceous species with hind first trochanters and base of hind tibiae nigrescent; mesonotum, propodaeum and abdomen with nigrescent spots; propodaeum areated, areola hexagonal; the centre of basal tergite of abdomen with two nigrescent spots very near each other and two nearly round nigrescent spots on each side of the tergites from second to seventh. Wings without areolet, nigrescent spot at the base of the radix, the ratio of the length between second recurrent nervure and radial nervure from their junction to the base of the radius of the hind wing 0.55. - Very few species of Xanthopimpla Saussure lack areolet as does Xanthopimpla barodaensis spec. nov. Thus the nearest relative of this new species is Xanthopimpla naenia Morley.
