104 Natura Somogyiensis Abbreviations: EL: longest diameter of eye 1ATS: Inner apical tibial spur 1CD: Inter cenchri distance IDMO: Interocular distance at level of median ocellus ITD: Inter tegular distance LID: Lower interocular distance MB: Metabasitarsus (length) OATS: Outer apical tibial spur (length) OCL: Ocello occipital line OOL: Oculoocellar line POL:- Post ocellar line Description of the new species Tenthredo (Tenthredella) indonitidula spec. nov. (Figs. 1 and 2) Holotype: Female. India: Chopta, 23. 06. 2015. Body black; rusty reddish brown: entire mandible, anterior femur, middle femur except black basal fifth, hind femur except black basal third. Cenchri brownish white. Wings hyaline, stigma and venation dark brownish black. Head including temples and inner ocular area densely, deeply, very uniformly and minute­ly punctured, shiny. Shiny spaces between punctures about 1.5x diameter of a puncture. Vertex very densely, minutely and deeply punctured, hardly shiny, interspaces between punctures about 0.5 x diameter of a puncture. Ocellar area densely, deeply and moderately roughly punctured with moderately large punctures, hardly shiny. Head with short dense brown pubescence, about half as long as diameter of anterior ocellus. Mesonotum bold. Pronotum with brown pubescence 0.7-1 .Ox diameter of anterior ocellus. Supraantennal tubercles long and strong, deeply separated from the frontal area. Postoccipital carina complete although week but clear on vertex. Head behind eyes strongly contracted. Ratios of antennal segments: 13 : 9 : 44 : 36 : 28 : 20 : 17 : 16 : 16. OOL : POL : OCL: 17:7: 10. Width : length (longitudinal measure) of the postocellar area: 9 : 5. Longest diameter of eye : length of 3rd antennal segment: 21 : 22. Ratios of hind tarsal segments 1-5 without claw: 52 : 16 : 15 : 8 : 18. Length of gena : diameter of anterior ocellus: 5 : 4. Depth of clypeal emargination : median length of clypeus: 12 : 24. Length of hind tibia : length of ovipositor: 65 : 28. LID :IDMO: EL: 36 : 45 : 43. ICD : ITD = 17 : 46. IATS : MB : OATS: 28:52: 21. Antenna long and slender, about as long as head, thorax and first 2 abdominal segments (including propodeum) combined. Mesoscutellar lobes densely, minutely and deeply punctured, interspaces between punctures densely granulated, matt. Mesoscutellum and mesoscutellar appendage deep­ly, moderately roughly punctured with moderately large punctures, hardly shiny. Mesopleuron and mesepistemum very roughly, very deeply punctured with large punctures hardly shiny. Katepimeron and mesopleuron densely, moderately shallowly punctured with dense, moderately large punctures, hardly shiny, Posterior part of meta­­pleuron with sporadic shallow punctures and shallow wrinkles, moderately shiny. First tergite with shallow coriaceous surface sculpture, moderately shiny. Other tergites with dense shallow transverse wrinkles, hardly shiny.
