Siniphanerotomella fanjinshana He, Chen et van Achterberg, 1994

Fig. 5

The type series of S. fanjinshana consists of males only ( He et al. 1994). During the research on this species a topotypic female was discovered, which is illustrated here for the first time ( Figs 5A–I ) and included in the new key to species. It has No. 935682 and was collected at the same date ( 11.vii.1993) as the holotype male.

The female has body length of 3.2 mm and length of fore wing 2.7 mm; antenna with 18 antennomeres and apically paler than subbasally ( Fig. D1 ); clypeus sparsely punctate; POL about equal to diameter of anterior ocellus ( Fig. 4D ); medial depression of frons smooth ( Fig. 4D ); mesoscutum largely coarsely reticulate ( Fig. 4B ); mesopleuron sparsely punctate ( Fig. 4F ); mesosternum largely smooth; pterostigma robust ( Fig. 4A 1 ); vein r of fore wing straight; hind femur about 4.3 × longer than wide and less swollen than in other species ( Fig. 4H ; unknown of S. disparclypeolus ); apical half of hind tibia distinctly swollen ( Fig. 4H ); metasomal carapace 2.2 × longer than its maximum width and distinctly narrowed apically in dorsal view, and mainly coarsely longitudinally rugose ( Fig. 4G ); apico-ventrally metasomal carapace less emarginated than in other species ( Fig. 4I ; unknown of S. disparclypeolus ) and its lateral lamella distinctly widened apically in lateral view ( Fig. 4H ); apex of metasomal carapace comparatively densely punctate-rugose, without large smooth interspaces medially in posterior view, without depression medio-posteriorly and with moderately conspicuous bristles( Fig. 4H ); apex of carapace in lateral view evenly rounded ( Fig. 4H ).
