Ordo: Hymenoptera
Familia: Braconidae
Genus: Cremnoptoides
Name
Cremnoptoides yui Sharkey sp. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Diagnosis
This is the only species of Cremnoptoides that is not almost entirely black. The other two species, Cremnoptoides furcatus and Cremnoptoides pappi, do not have the extensive yellow coloration present in Cremnoptoides yui. For descriptions of the other two species see van Achterberg and Chen (2004)[1].
Description
Holotype female.
Length. 7.0 mm.
Head. Antenna with 40 flagellomeres; head slightly elongate; frons with sharp lateral carinae extending to lateral ocelli.
Mesosoma. Sternaulus weakly impressed with elongate transverse, shallow carinae extending the length of the mesopleuron; metapleuron aciculate to rugose and moderately setose; propodeum areolate with a spindle-shaped medial cell; propodeum moderately setose except medial cell; hind trochantellus with longitudinal carina, medial and lateral hind claws both with a right-angled or slightly acute basal lobe, hind femur aciculate; mid tibia with one peg; hind tibia with 3 pegs; last abscissa of RS of fore wing sinuate.
Metasoma. Metasomal tergum 1 with a smooth transverse groove; border between tergum 2 and 3 marked by a smooth transverse groove; ovipositor slightly shorter than body length.
Male. Essentially as in the holotype.
Variation
The holotype is representative of darker specimens. Other specimens may have more extensive yellow color on the metasomal tergites and the flagellum may be pale brown, almost dark yellow.
Distribution
Known only from the above localities in Thailand. Distribution map can be found at http://purl.org/thaimaps/yui.
Etymology
Named in honor of Dr. Dicky Yu, for his immense contributions to hymenopterology.
