Diagnosis
Leptopilina boulardi (Figs 34–35) is the most common species in our collections. This species is distinguishable by the patterns on the scutellum that are smooth in the background with irregular striae (Fig. 11), whereas the scutellar patterns of many other Leptopilina species are entirely foveollate or areollate (Fig. 14). Most of Leptopilina species have a dense hairy ring on the metasoma (Fig. 15), but the hairy ring in Leptopilina boulardi is thin, consisting of scarce hairs (Fig. 12). The propodeal carina from the lateral view are distinctly angled and with horizontal carinae between them (Fig. 13). This differs from the propodeal carina in other species which are straight, sub-parallel and without a horizontal carina between them (Fig. 16).
Redescription
Coloration with head, mesosoma, metasoma black to dark brown, legs light brown. Malar sulcus present, with adjacent groove. Apical segment of maxillary palp more than 1.5 times as long as preceding segment. Terminal flagellomere with two basiconic sensillae. Basiconic sensillae present on F5-F11. Placoidal sensilla present on F6-11. Number of ridges on pronotal plate in lateral view 3. Sculpture on mesoscutum absent, entire surface smooth, shiny. Dorsal surface of scutellum irregularly striate, space between striate smooth. Circumscutellar carina present, incomplete, laterally delimiting dorsal and ventral halves of scutellum, not present posteriorly. Latero-ventral margin of scutellum posterior to axillula entirely smooth. Dorsal part of scutellum entirely rugose. Scutellar plate, in dorsal view, medium sized, exposing about half of scutellum. Posterior impression of metepimeron absent. Anterior impression of metepisternum, immediately beneath anterior end of metapleural carina, present, small and narrow. Pubescence consisting of few scattered hairs on posterior part of metapleuron and lateral part of propodeum. Wing vein M: absent. Inter propodeal carinae space smooth with a horizontal carina. Horizontal carina running anteriorly from lateral propodeal carina not visible, setae too dense. Lateral propodeal carina distinctly angled. Surface of petiole longitudinally costate, ventral keel absent. Setal band (hairy ring) at base of tergum 3 present, few scattered hairs.
