04671F3DFF93DA73AFC86C7943DABB04.taxon	materials_examined	Type species: Proantrusa kasparyani Tobias, 1998 Diagnosis Head somewhat transverse in dorsal view; frons with a small and acute tubercle in front of anterior ocellus; clypeus hemi-circular, twice wider than high medially and face 1.6 to 1.7 times wider than clypeus (Fig. 1); mandible with 3 similarly sized teeth; pronope medium-sized to obsolescent; propleuron glabrous or setose; notauli incomplete; metanotum with a distinct acute median spine or triangular protuberance; vein 1 - SR of fore wing 3 to 7 times as long as its minimum width (Fig. 3); pterostigma of fore wing subtriangular, vein m-cu antefurcal; length of 1 st tergite nearly equal to its apical width; 2 nd tergite smooth or almost entirely longitudinally striate; combined length of 2 nd and 3 rd metasomal tergites 0.4 times total length of metasoma (Fig. 9); 3 rd tergite smooth and as long as 2 nd tergite; 4 th and 5 th tergites of ♀ smooth and exposed (Figs. 8 and 9); setose part of ovipositor about 0.2 times as long as hind tibia. Remarks This genus is included in the Trachionus genus-group because of the spined metanotum and the medium-sized to long vein 1 - SR of the fore wing despite the comparatively short 2 nd and 3 rd metasomal tergites. For the differences within the Trachionus genus-group, see the key below. The genus may be confused with the genus Laotris Nixon, 1943 because of the smooth 3 rd tergite and the well-exposed 4 th tergite, but differs by the different shape of the mandible and of the 1 st tergite.

04671F3DFF91DA76AFC8694B40ACBEFE.taxon	description	Description Female (HOLOTYPE). Body length 4.0 mm; fore wing length 3.4 mm. Head. Antenna with 31 segments, its length equal to the length of fore wing, 1 st flagellomere 1.3 times as long as 2 nd flagellomere. First, 2 nd, and penultimate flagellomeres 2.5, 1.7, and 1.6 times as long as their maximum width, respectively. Head, in dorsal view, somewhat transverse, 2.1 times as wide as its median length. Eye 1.4 times as long as temple, temple slightly narrowed behind eye (Fig. 2). Ratio OOL: OD: POL = 20: 8: 7. Mandible (Figs. 1 and 2) 3 - den- tate, tooth somewhat curved outwards. Tooth 2 acute and equilateral-sided, tooth 1 and tooth 3 obtuse, tooth 3 somewhat longer than tooth 1 and tooth 2. Maxillary palp with 6 segments, 1.2 times as long as height of head. Face 1.7 times as wide as high, punctate, mainly glabrous, sparsely pubescent on area close to eyes and with a weak medio-longitudinal carina. Frons glabrous and smooth, with a small acute tubercle in front of anterior ocellus (Fig. 2), slightly depressed near antennal sockets; clypeus hemi-circular (Fig. 1). Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.5 times its height. Propleuron largely crenulate-rugose and glabrous. Anterior area of mesoscutum densely pubescent and remainder only sparsely setose. Notauli absent on mesoscutal disk but impressed and crenulate on oblique anterior part of mesoscutum. Medio-posterior depression at posterior third of mesoscutum narrow, deep and crenulate (Fig. 5). Scutellar sulcus wide and distinctly crenulate, axilla densely white setose. Scutellum rather convex, mainly glabrous but laterally sparsely setose. Metanotum with a strong median spine (Fig. 6). Propodeum gradually lowered posteriorly, largely reticulate-rugose (Fig. 7) and sparsely setose. Mesopleuron mainly glabrous and smooth. Precoxal sulcus rather wide and shallow, rugulose (Fig. 6). Mesopleural furrow finely crenulate dorsally and coarsely crenulate ventrally (Fig. 6). Metapleuron mainly smooth, posteriorly densely setose which setae directed to hind coxa (Fig. 6). Wings. Length of fore wing 2.5 times as long as wide. Pterostigma rather short, subtriangular, 3.2 times as long as wide. Vein r arising just before middle of pterostigma. Vein 1 - R 1 1.4 times as long as pterostigma. Vein 3 - SR + SR 1 slightly curved posteriorly. Vein r 0.9 times as long as maximum width of pterostigma, 0.4 times as long as vein 1 - SR + M, 0.2 times as long as vein 3 - SR + SR 1; vein 1 - SR 7 times longer than its minimum width (Fig. 3); vein SR 1 distinctly curved below level of connection of veins 2 - SR and r (Fig. 3); vein 1 - SR + M somewhat curved. Vein m-cu antefurcal. Hind wing 3.1 times as long as its maximum width. Legs. Hind coxa smooth and finely setose. Hind femur 3.9 times as long as wide. Hind tibia 1.1 times as long as tarsus. Basitarsus 3.7 times as long as wide, 1.8 times as long as 2 nd tarsal segment, 0.6 times as long as 2 nd to 5 th segments combined (Fig. 4). The inner and outer tibial spurs of hind leg 0.4 and 0.3 times as long as basitarsus, respectively. Metasoma. First tergite distinctly longitudinally striate, its length nearly equal to its apical width, evenly widened from base to apex, its dorsal carinae remain separated. Second tergite almost entirely longitudinally striate, only laterally smooth, its median length 0.4 times its apical width. Third and following tergites smooth and nearly glabrous, 3 rd tergite as long as 2 nd tergite. Ovipositor short, but slightly project- ing beyond the apical tergite in the retracted position, its setose part 0.2 times as long as hind tibia. Color. Black. Antenna dark brown except yellow base of scapus. Clypeus brownish yellow, labrum and palpi yellowish, mandible yellow but its middle tooth yellowish brown. Pterostigma and most veins of hind wing yellowish brown. Legs mainly yellow but tarsi and apical part of hind tibia brown. First and 2 nd tergites dark reddish brown, 3 rd to 5 th tergites mainly reddish brown but basally yellowish brown to yellow, remainder of metasoma yellowish brown to yellow; ovipositor sheath yellowish brown. Male. Similar to female but antenna with 34 segments and precoxal sulcus distinctly crenulate. Habitat and Natural History Unknown.
