Ordo: Hymenoptera
Familia: Chrysididae
Genus: Loboscelidia
Name
Loboscelidia laminata Kimsey, 2012 sp. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Type material
Holotype male: Viet Nam: Tuyen Quang Prov., 360 m, Na Hang Reserve, 16–20 May 1997, FIT, S. B. Peck, 97-10 (CNC). Paratypes (17 males): 6 males, same data as holotype; 6 males, 20-24 May 1997, rainforest, FIT 97-13; 5 males, 97-12 (BME, CNC).
Diagnosis
Loboscelidia laminata most closely resembles Loboscelidia kafae as discussed under that species. However, Loboscelidia laminata can be distinguished by flagellomere II less than twice as long as broad, flagellomere XI less than 3.5× as long as broad, and the fore and midtibial flanges narrower than the respective tibiae.

Head (Fig. 10): length 1.8× height in side view; eye asetose; frontal projection rectangular in front view; frons with lateral ridge adjacent to eye margin; vertex without transverse fovea, posterior expansion shallowly curved in profile; frons with low ridge extending from vertex along inner eye margin; gena without scale-like setae; scape smooth, length 2.6× breadth; flagellomere I length 1.7× breadth; flagellomere II length 1.8× breadth; flagellomere XI length 4× breadth. Mesosoma: pronotal length 0.8× breadth, with/out lateral carina, nearly as wide as head in dorsal view; scutum with notauli reaching posterior margin; scutellum with fine dense striae; metanotum with three medial ridges, impunctate laterally; mesopleuron with scrobal sulcus; propodeum without transverse dorsal carina; legs (Fig. 41) coarsely/smooth, polished; forefemoral flange 0.6× femur length, flange maximum width 0.8× width of tubular part of femur; foretibial flange 0.6× femur length, flange maximum width 0.7× width of tubular part of tibia; midfemoral flange 0.6× femur length, flange maximum width 0.8× width of tubular part of femur; midtibial flange 0.8× femur length, flange maximum width 0.4× width of tubular part of tibia; hindfemoral flange 0.8× femur length, flange maximum width 0.9× width of tubular part of femur; hindtibial flange 0.9× as long as tibia, flange maximum width 1.1× width of tubular part of tibia; hindtibia with two longitudinal carinae on posterior margin; hindcoxa with longitudinal carina on inner medial surface; forewing (Fig. 30) R1 length 0.8× R length; cu-a length 0.5× R length; Rs length 3.2× R length; Cu+M 0.5× as long as A ; medial vein submedially curved. Color: dark brown to yellowish brown; wing membrane brown-tinted, untinted along vein remnants; veins brown.
Etymology
The name refers to the large lamellae or flanges on the legs (Latin).
