94 Natura Somogyiensis Description of the new species Apethymus turrisii spec. nov. (Figs. 1, 11,16 and 25) Holotype: female: Hua Phan Prov., Ban Saleui, Phou Pan Mt., 20°13'30"N, 103°59'26"E, 1350-1900 m,15. 05. 2011. Paratypes: female, Hua Phan Prov., Ban Saleui, Phou Pan Mt., 20°13'30"N, 103°59'26"E, 1350-1900 m,02-03. 05. 2011; female, Hua Phan Prov., Ban Saleui, Phou Pan Mt., 20°13’30"N, 103°59'26"E, 1350-1900 m,21. 05. 2011; female, Hua Phan Prov., Ban Saleui, Phou Pan Mt., 20°13'30"N, 103°59'26"E, 1350-1900 m,10. 05. 2011. Head black; white: labrum and clypeus entirely, most of mandibles except brown apex, small supraclypeal triangle above clypeus between base of antennae and palpi. Antenna black, segments 7-9 white. Thorax black; white: pronotum, propleuron, tegula, par- apterum, metascutellum, mesoscutellum entirely, anterior margines of mesonotal middle lobes. Legs white (including all coxae, trochanters and tarsi); black: all femora (except narrow white apex and base of first and middle femora), apical third of fore and middle tibiae and apical 40% of hind tibia. Wings gently subinfumated. Costa, subcosta, stigma and venation brownish black. Basal third of costa and base of stigma white. Abdomen black; pale yellow: hind margin of first tergite (propodeum), second tergite (except large middle black spot), ventro-lateral spots of tergites (expcept last 2 tergites), all stemites (except last stemite which has only yellow middle line), large middle spot on tergite 9 and apical triangle on last tergite (tergite 10). Vertex and temples finely, minutely and densely punctured, shiny. Frontal area densely and roughly punctured, hardly shiny. Pentagonal frontal area elevated. Postocellar furrow reaching hypothetic hind margine of head. Clypeus deeply and roundly emarginated. Depth of clypeal emargination: middle length of clypeus: 3:7. Ratios of antennal segments: 16:9:45:48: 41:30:26:22:25. Head gently dilated than contracted behind eyes, more or less subparallel. Gena as long as diameter of anterior ocellus. Postoccipital carina reaching up to the upper comer of eye. Mesonotum, mesoscutellum and mesoscutellar appendage densely and moderately deeply punctured, moderately shiny. Interspaces about 2/3x as large as diameter of a puncture. Metascutellum moderately densely and deeply punctured. Interspaces about as large as a diameter of a puncture. Mesopleuron very densely roughly and deeply punctured, hardly shiny. Mesostemum moderately densely punctured with deep and small punctures, shiny. Interspaces about l-3x as large as diameter of a puncture. Mesoscutellum flat. Abdominal tergites (including propodeum) with fine and dense surface sculpture, moderately shiny. Length of ovipositor: length of hind tibia: 53: 80. Length of inner hind tibial spur: length of hind basitarsus: 11:40. Claws without basal lobe, inner tooth longer and wider than apical (Fig. 16). 14.7 mm. (paratypes: 13.9-16.5 mm). Individual variation: paratypes has no white line on anterior margin of mesonotal lateral lobe. The new species is dedicated to Dr. Fabricio Turrisi. The related species: Apethymus kolthoffi (Forsius, 1927): It’s clypeus is black, first and middle tibiae are brown, 10:0-11.5 mm (Koch 1988). The new species has white clypeus, all tibiae are white with black apex. 14-16.5 mm. Serrulae are also completely different, compare Fig. 1 with Fig. 6.3 in Koch 1988.
