Fig. 3: Pachyprotasis fabriziae spec. nov. holotype

lowly and densely punctured, moderately shiny. Interspaces between puncture about 2/3x as large as diameter of a puncture. Mesoscutellum, mesoscutellar appendage and metascutellum smooth and shiny. Mesopleuron densely punctured with moderately deep and moderately large punctures, shiny, interspaces between punctures about half as large as diameter of a puncture. Mesoscutellum bluntly elevated with 3 not sharp carina from center to sides. Propodeum smooth and shiny in central part, other tergites and sides of propodeum with moderately sparse, shallow, moderately large punctures, moderately shiny. Claws without basal lobe, apical and subapical teeth subequal. Length of inner hind tibial spur : length of hind basitarsus: 39 : 60. Penis valve in Fig. 1. Length: 9.4 mm.

The new species is dedicated to Dr. Fabricius Turrisi.

In structure of penis valve, the new species related to Pachyprotasis alhoannulata Forsius, 1935 Fig. Compare Fig. 421 in Saini 2007. In other points of view like colour, body structure and surface sculpture the 2 species different.

In the keys of Malaise 1945 and Saini 2007, the new species runs to Pachyprotasis pattens Malaise, 1945. The colour pattern and penis valve of the 2 species are strick- ingly diffemet compare Figs. 197 and 464 in Saini 2007 with Figs 1 and 3).

It is also similar to Pachyprotasis rufigaster Zhong & Wei, 2010, however, the abdomen is not rufous of the new species. Hind femur and hind tibia are black in the new species. These are pale in Pachyprotasis rufigaster, except apical third of abdomen and ring on the apex of hind tibia. Furthermore 3rd antennal segment (flagellomere 1) sig-
