Description
Cremnoptoides van Achterberg & Chen, 2004
Type species: Cremnops pappi Sharkey, 1996.
Distribution and Diversity: Only represented in the literature by two species from Japan and Korea (Sharkey 1996) and China (Henan) (van Achterberg & Chen 2004). We have five specimens representing a new species from Thailand.
Biology: Unknown; the long ovipositor suggests that it attacks concealed hosts.
Phylogenetic Information. Cremnoptoides is a member of the tribe Cremnoptini but exemplars have not been included in published phylogenetic analyses. Our unpublished analyses of COI and D2– 3 28S sequence data place it as sister to Cremnops.
Diagnosis: Fore and midtarsal claws bifid (Fig. 2a); ovipositor as long as metasoma (Fig. 31a); notauli complete (as in Fig. 12aa); lateral carina of frons acute and directed towards lateral ocellas (Fig. 6bb); gena and mouthparts slightly elongate (Fig. 31a); sternaulus complete to epicnemium, composed of a series long, shallow, vertical grooves (Fig. 31a); hind trochantellus with a pair of longitudinal carinae.
