Fig. 27 View Figure 27
Type material.
Holotype. China – Shaanxi Prov. • ♀; Ningshan ; 24 Sep. 1979; Bu-guang Jin leg.; ( ZJUH) No. 791192.
Diagnosis.
Eyes less protruding and temples less directly narrowed in dorsal view (Fig. 27 H View Figure 27 ); vein m-cu of fore wing straight (Fig. 27 D View Figure 27 ); anterior tentorial pits distinctly removed from eyes (Fig. 27 G View Figure 27 ); second tergite dark brown basally; first metasomal tergite 2.2 × its apical width, with comparatively small dorsope and area between dorsope much wider than dorsope; hind tarsus mainly white; ovipositor sheath ~ 0.21 × as long as fore wing.
Comparative diagnosis.
Very similar to Z. curvinervis but differs mainly by the less protruding eyes (more protruding in Z. curvinervis ), straight vein m-cu of fore wing (curved in Z. curvinervis ) and anterior tentorial pits distinctly removed from eyes (close to eyes in Z. curvinervis ).
Description.
Holotype, ♀, length of fore wing 9.3 mm, of body 8.9 mm.
Head. Antenna incomplete, third segment nearly as long as fourth segment and third and fourth segments 2.7 × and 2.5 × longer than wide, respectively; length of maxillary palp 1.4 × longer than height of head; frons smooth and behind antennal sockets impressed; POL: diameter of posterior ocellus: OOL = 9: 10: 5; vertex convex, punctulate and densely setose (Fig. 27 H View Figure 27 ); clypeus slightly convex in lateral view, punctate apically (Fig. 27 I View Figure 27 ); face widely smooth, it widened ventrally (Fig. 27 G View Figure 27 ), minimum width of face 1.3 × height of face; length of eye 2.2 × temple in dorsal view (Fig. 27 H View Figure 27 ); length of malar space 0.3 × basal width of mandible.
Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.6 × its height; side of pronotum reticulate-crenulate with few striae ventrally and crenulate posteriorly; epicnemial area rather rugulose; precoxal sulcus narrowly crenulate posteriorly, widely reticulate-rugulose; dorsal of mesopleuron punctate and shiny (Fig. 27 B View Figure 27 ); mesosternum largely punctulate and shiny; metapleuron largely smooth anteriorly but striate-rugose posteriorly; mesoscutal lobes widely punctulate and shiny; notauli finely and narrowly crenulate, mesoscutum medio-posteriorly narrowly crenulate-rugose and with a long carina; scutellar sulcus deep and wide, with a long distinct median carina; scutellum slightly convex and weakly punctulate; metanotum with small smooth knob medio-posteriorly and with medium-sized carina in front of it; propodeum reticulate-rugose, subbasal transverse carina more straight and protruding, with comparatively large triangular area medially, area in front of subbasal transverse carina comparatively smooth; medio-longitudinal carina present; in lateral view propodeum gradually lowered posteriorly, posterior part not distinctly separated from antero-dorsal part distinctly (Fig. 27 B, C View Figure 27 ).
Wings. Fore wing (Fig. 27 D View Figure 27 ): r: 3 - SR: SR 1 = 12: 30: 123; 2 - SR: 3 - SR: r-m = 25: 30: 20; cu-a oblique, interstitial. Hind wing (Fig. 27 D View Figure 27 ): r absent; M + CU: 1 - M = 90: 15; 1 r-m 2.7 × 1 - M.
Legs. Hind coxa largely punctulate dorsally; length of fore femur 7.0 × its width (Fig. 27 L View Figure 27 ); length of fore tibial spur 0.3 × fore basitarsus (Fig. 27 F View Figure 27 ); lengths of hind femur and basitarsus 7.0 × and 9.6 × their widths, respectively (Fig. 27 M View Figure 27 ).
Metasoma. First tergite 2.2 × longer than its apical width, its surface coarsely reticulate-rugose; dorsope narrow and comparatively small, area in front of dorsope depressed (Fig. 27 K View Figure 27 ), laterope comparatively narrow (Fig. 27 J View Figure 27 ); second tergite mainly bare, smooth; ovipositor comparatively slender basally; length of ovipositor sheath 0.21 × as long as fore wing, sheath with long semi-erect setae (Fig. 27 E View Figure 27 ).
Colour. Antenna mesosoma, all coxae, middle and hind femora, metasoma largely black; face, clypeus, mandible (except black apex) brownish yellow; pterostigma and palpi yellowish; fore and middle tibia and tarsus, ovipositor sheath (except pale apex) dark brown; hind tarsus largely whitish.
