Name
Kriechbaumerella cordigaster (Roy & Farooqi, 1984) – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Eucepsis cordigaster Roy & Farooqi, 1984: 19 (♀, holotype India (Shillong), (INPC); examined).
- Kriechbaumerella cordigaster; Narendran 1989[1]: 70.
Material
1 ♀ (RMNH), “S. Vietnam: Dak Lak, Chu Yang Sin N. P., n[ea]r river, c. 740 m, Malaise traps, 1–10.vi.2007, C. v. Achterberg & R. de Vries, RMNH’07.
Diagnosis
Kriechbaumerella cordigaster comes near Kriechbaumerella gibsoni Narendran in the key to Oriental species by Narendran (1989)[1], but differs from Kriechbaumerella gibsoni in having: 1) fore wing with two brown infuscations (in Kriechbaumerella gibsoni fore wing without infuscations); 2) T1 not micro-sculptured dorsally (in Kriechbaumerella gibsoni T1 faintly micro-sculptured on posterior half), and 3) metasoma not subglobose (in Kriechbaumerella gibsoni metasoma subglobose).
Description
♀, length of body 5.8–6.8 mm.
Colour. Black; fore wing with brown veins and brown infuscations near MV and beyond PMV.
Head. Pre-orbital carinae present; post-orbital carinae weakly represented; geno-temporal furrow absent.
Mesosoma. Apex of scutellum bi-dentate, teeth turned upwards (visible when viewed from posterior side).
Metasoma. Metasoma a little longer or subequal in length to or shorter than mesosoma; T1 smooth with a pit at base; epipygium shorter than T6.
Male. Similar to ♀, but scape swollen with a deep groove ventrally.
Host
Unidentified pupa of Lepidoptera.
Distribution
India, Vietnam (new record).
Variation
The metasoma is shorter than the mesosoma in the Vietnamese female, whereas in Indian females the metasoma is longer than the mesosoma, and the antenna and the metasoma have a slight reddish tinge.
