Tibiae color (pro-, meso-, metatibia): pale, pale, anteriorly pale/posteriorly dark. Tegula and humeral complex colour: both pale. Pterostigma color: dark. Fore wing veins color: mainly dark (several veins might be unpigmented). Antenna length/ physique length: antenna about so long as physique (head to apex of metasoma); if slightly shorter, at the least extending beyond anterior 0.7 metasoma length. Physique in lateral view: not distinctly flattened dorso entrally. Body length (head to apex of metasoma): three.1?.two mm or 3.three?.four mm. Fore wing length: three.5?.6 mm or three.7?.eight mm. Ocular cellar line/posterior ocellus diameter: two.0?.2. Interocellar distance/posterior ocellus diameter: 2.0?.2. Antennal journal.pone.0077579 flagellomerus 2 length/width: 2.6?.eight. Antennal flagellomerus 14 length/width: 1.7?.9. Length of flagellomerus 2/length of flagellomerus 14: two.0?.2. Tarsal claws: with single basal spine ike seta. Metafemur length/width: 3.0?.1. Metatibia inner spur length/metabasitarsus length: 0.four?.five. Anteromesoscutum: mostly with deep, dense punctures (separated by much less than two.0 ?its maximum diameter). Mesoscutellar disc: mostly punctured. Number of pits in scutoscutellar sulcus: 9 or 10. Maximum height of mesoscutellum lunules/maximumReview of Apanteles sensu stricto (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Microgastrinae)...height of lateral face of mesoscutellum: 0.4?.five. Propodeum areola: absolutely defined by carinae, including transverse carina extending to spiracle. Propodeum background sculpture: mostly sculptured. Mediotergite 1 length/width at posterior margin: 2.3?.five. Mediotergite 1 shape: mostly parallel ided for 0.five?.7 of its length, then narrowing posteriorly so mediotergite anterior width >1.1 ?posterior width. Mediotergite 1 sculpture: largely sculptured, excavated area centrally with transverse striation inside and/or a polished knob centrally on posterior margin of mediotergite. Mediotergite 2 width at posterior margin/length: three.two?.five. Mediotergite two sculpture: largely smooth. Outer margin of hypopygium: using a wide, medially folded, transparent, semi esclerotized region; typically with four or more pleats. Ovipositor thickness: about exact same width throughout its length. Ovipositor sheaths length/metatibial length: 0.four?.five. Length of fore wing veins r/2RS: two.three or more. Length of fore wing veins 2RS/2M: 1.1?.3. Length of fore wing veins 2M/(RS+M)b: 0.7?.8. Pterostigma length/width: three.1?.five. Point of insertion of vein r in pterostigma: about half way point length of pterostigma. Angle of vein r with fore j.addbeh.2012.ten.012 wing anterior margin: clearly outwards, inclined towards fore wing apex. Shape of junction of veins r and 2RS in fore wing: distinctly but not strongly angled. Male. Similar to female, with darker metafemur and metatibia. Molecular information. Sequences in BOLD: four, barcode compliant sequences: three. Biology/ecology. Solitary (Fig. 281).
