Ordo: Hymenoptera
Familia: Evaniidae
Genus: Evaniscus
Name
Evaniscus rafaeli Kawada sp. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Etymology
The specific epithet honors José Albertino Rafael, a great collector in the Amazon forest and an entomologist at INPA.
Diagnosis
This species shares the following character states with Evaniscus tibialis : posterior margin of the metapectal-propodeal complex ventrally of the propodeal foramen curvature in lateral view: straight; scape length vs compound eye height: scape longer than half compound eye height; mesoscutum shape: wider than long (length of mesoscutum < width of mesoscutum); dorsal region of petiole sculpture: wrinkled. The following character states are present in Evaniscus rafaeli but not in Evaniscus tibialis : ventral region of occipital carina curvature in lateral view: straight; median notch of transverse pronotal carina presence: present; transverse pronotal carina length: long, extending postero-laterally of epomia; parapsidal signum conspicuousness: inconspicuous.
