Figs 38-39. Synopeas weaveri sp. n. female. - 38: antenna; 39: body in lateral view. Scale bar = 0.25 mm for Fig. 38, 0.50 mm for Fig. 39 Metasoma (Fig. 39) as long as mesosoma, 0.75 times as wide as this, higher than wide (9:8). T1-T2 smooth, juncture between them densely pubescent laterally. T3-T6 combined slightly shorter than T1-T2 combined (19:21), with a few superficially implanted hairs. T3-T4 strongly transverse, with traces of sculpture medially; T5-T6 distinctly coriaceous (T6 longitudinally so); T5 wider than long (7:5); T6 1.6 times as long as wide, 1.8 times as long as T5.

1995., Malaise trap in lowland gallery forest. R. Cave leg. Preserved at the Institute of Zoology, Lund, Sweden. Named after the president of the Institute of Ecolonomics (www.ecolonomics.org), Mr. Dermis Weaver. Most similar to S. rufipes (Ashmead, 1894), but this species is only 0.8 mm long with ocelli touching eyes, cf. Kieffer (1926). REFERENCES Austin, A. D. & Field, S. A.
