Ateleute grossa Kasparyan et Hernández, 2001: 229 View in CoL (description, Fig. 1; Mexico); Kasparyan & Ruíz-Cancino, 2005: 57–60 (redescription, Fig. 24; Mexico); Khalaim et al., 2018: 4 View Cited Treatment ( Figs 1, 2; Mexico: Veracruz); Santos et al., 2018: 1068 View Cited Treatment , 1073 ( Figs 5D, G; redescription; Costa Rica, host).

Holotype (examined). Female, Mexico, Tamaulipas, Gómez Farías, Alta Cimas , Malaise trap (2), 3.VII–7.VIII.1999, coll. S. Hernandez ( UAT).

Diagnosis. Size larger than in other Neotropical species of Ateleute (except for A. boitata Santos, 2018 ): fore wing 8.7 mm long (vs. 4.0–5.0 mm in congeners). Antenna with 37 flagellomeres (vs. 27–32 flagellomeres in most of congeners). Head black; mesoscutum completely black; metasoma black with base of tergite 1 and apical band on tergites 1–8 white ( Fig. 8). Ovipositor sheath 0.75 times as long as hind tibia.

Comparison. Ateleute grossa is very close to the South American A. boitata , but the latter species is distinguished by the predominantly reddish mesopleuron and metapleuron, completely reddish propodeum and legs (except yellow hind tibia and tarsus), while in A. grossa all these parts are yellowish and the propodeum has a large black dorsolateral spot.

Bionomics. Recorded as a parasitoid of Oiketicus kirbyi (Guilding, 1827) in Costa Rica ( Santos et al., 2018).
