Description
Summary:Homotropus klopfsteinae sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: F9C92543-EED5-40A7-AF51-DCFC79DCE49D Figs 3–4 Diagnosis Homotropus klopfsteinae sp. nov. (Figs 3, 4 A–E) is easily distinguished from other diplazontines by the combination of the strongly sculptured first and second tergites, the strongly convex clypeus which is protruding in lateral view, the unique constitution of the propodeal carinae, with four strongly raised longitudinal carinae and a central arcuate formation, and the unique colour combination with the entire scutellum, part of inner orbits and the basal half of the hind tibia pale yellowish. The known female is also strikingly larger than most species of Diplazontinae known from the Western Palaearctic. Etymology The species epithet klopfsteinae (feminine name in genitive case) is in honour of Seraina Klopfstein (Bern, Switzerland), for her contribution to the systematics of Diplazontinae wasps.
