Description

Galeopsomyia cuscoensis Hansson sp.nov.

(Figs 360, 361, 1071)

Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid (Fig. 1071); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 360) with strong reticulation on median part, lateral parts with even stronger reticulation, meshes elongate, submedian grooves distinct, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig.360) with strong reticulation and some irregular carinae medially, callus with four setae; gaster (Fig. 360) 3.0× as long as wide with gonoplac 1.0× as long as hind femur, medio-basal Gt1 with short longitudinal carinae laterally, reticulation on tergites strong.

Female holotype: length of body 1.8mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum brown. Head metallic bluish-purple, antennal scrobes black, clypeus dark brown. Thoracic dorsum metallic bluish-purple. Legs with coxae dark brown, hind coxa with metallic tinges; trochanters brown; femora dark brown with apex yellowish-white; tibiae yellowish-white; T1–3 yellowish-white, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster dark brown, Gt1 with metallic blue tinges; gonoplac black.

Antenna with solid clava. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe without a median groove, with eight scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation on median part, lateral parts with stronger reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; with six setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands strongly in posterior half; with strong reticulation and some irregular carinae medially; callus with four setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.

Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt1 with short longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with rather strong reticulation.
