Name
Hartemita similis Long & van Achterberg, 2011 sp. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Type material
Holotype, male (IEBR), “Card.057”, “[S Vietnam:] Dak Lak, Easo, coffee farm, MT, [ca 12°45’N] 108°37’E, 02.vii.2008, Ngo Hien”. Paratype: 1 male (RMNH), “S. Vietnam: Dong Nai, Cat Tien N.P., Bird trail, Mal. trap 9–12, c 100 m, 1–9.x.2005, C. v. Achterberg & R. de Vries, RMNH’05”.
Diagnosis
The new species is similar to Hartemita punctata Chen, He & Ma, but differs by having the ventral clypeal margin moderately concave medially (nearly straight in Hartemita punctata; Fig. 90), the malar space 1.2 times as long as the basal width of the mandible (equal in Hartemita punctata), hind tibia dark brown apically (yellow in Hartemita punctata; Fig. 92) and the basitarsus 3.7 times its median width (5.0 times in Hartemita punctata; Fig. 92).
Description
Holotype, male, body length 5.9 mm, fore wing length 5.6 mm, antenna 6.5 mm.
Head. Antennal segments 43; third segment 1.2 times as long as fourth segment; length of third, fourth and penultimate segments 2.0, 1.7 and 1.3 times their width, respectively; eye glabrous, width of face 1.4 times height of eye; clypeal margin moderately concave medially (Fig. 35); epistomal suture distinct and curved; malar space 1.2 times width of mandible (Fig. 35); in dorsal view head width twice its median length; frons narrow; occiput moderately concave (Fig. 36); temple behind eyes convex anteriorly and roundly narrowed posteriorly (Fig. 36); length of temple as long as transverse diameter; OOL:POL:OD = 15:6:5; frons with a median carina (Fig. 35). Face and clypeus shiny and sparsely punctate; vertex and temple shiny and sparsely punctate.
Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.2 times its height; pronotal trough crenulate medially, remainder of pronotal side rugose dorsally and smooth ventrally; notauli narrow and more or less flat; scutellar sulcus with 3 cross-carinae; median arch of metanotum with a pair of lateral cross-carinae (Fig. 38); middle and lateral lobes of mesoscutum rugose-punctate; scutellum punctate; mesopleuron smooth medially, rugose dorsally; precoxal sulcus wide; mesosternum areolate-punctate; propodeum rugose.
Wings. Length of fore wing 2.5 times its maximum width; length of pterostigma 3.5 times its median width; r:2-SR:3-SR= 8:11:27; length of second submarginal cell 3.7 times its maximum width; vein 1-CU1 0.3 times vein 2-CU1; vein 3-SR joining vein SR1 at 100° (Fig. 37). Length of hind wing 4.7 times its width; vein M+CU 0.5 times as long as vein 1-M.
Legs. Length of hind femur 4.3 times its middle width; length of hind tibia 5.1 times its apical width; hind basitarsus flattened, not broadly laminate and not produced apically (Fig. 40); hind basitarsus as wide as apical width of hind tibia and 3.7 times as long as wide; inner hind tibial spur 0.6 times as long as hind basitarsus; second-fifth hind tarsal segments 0.54 times as long as hind basitarsus (Fig. 40); hind tarsal claw with 3 teeth (Fig. 39).
Metasoma. Metasoma 1.2 times longer than mesosoma; second metasomal tergite longer than third tergite.
Colour. Body yellow; palpi brown; antenna brown, scapus yellow, but outer side dark brown; stemmaticum and vertex black, but separated by yellow area; middle and lateral lobes of mesoscutum and mesosternum black; middle leg yellow, but trochanter apically, trochantellus, tibia basally, spurs and tarsus dark brown (but basitarsus yellow basally); upper apex of hind coxa, trochanter and trochantellus, upper side of hind femur, tibia basally and apically, spurs and hind tarsus dark brown; wing brown and smoky apically; second-third metasomal tergites laterally (but less developed on third tergite) and fourth-seventh tergites medially black.
Female. Unknown.
Distribution
S Vietnam: Dak Lak, Dong Nai.
Etymology
Named “similis” (Latin for “like”, “resembling”), because it is similar to Hartemita punctata.
