Papp, J.: Five new Microchelonus species from the Neotropical Region (Hymenoptera, Braconidae: Cheloninae)

Material examined (id)- Male holotype: Peru, Mercapata. Further specimen of this species unknown. The holotype specimen is somewhat damaged: 1) Antennae broken, right antenna with three flagellomeres and left antenna with one flagellomere. 2) Right fore leg, except coxa, missing, tarsus of left middle leg missing; femur + tibia + tarsus of right hind leg and fifth tarsomere of left tarsus missing. 3) Left pair of wings somewhat torn. - Micropin (on the polyporus stage) with dense and fine copper vitriol crystals below and above the chelonine wasp. Redescription of the male holotype - Body 4.1 mm long. First flagellomere 2.5 times as long as broad. Head in dorsal view (Fig. 36) transverse, twice as broad as long, eye almost twice as long as temple, latter strongly rounded, occiput deeply excavated. Eye in lateral view somewhat reniform, 1.6 times as high as wide and somewhat wider than temple, latter broadening ventrally beyond eye (Fig. 37, see arrows). Clypeus 1.6 times as wide as high, its lower margin medially truncate. Face distinctly twice as wide as high. Malar space 1.2 times as long as basal width of mandible. Face densely rugose, clypeus dorso-ventrally punctate to confluent punctate, vertex transversely rugo-striate (Fig. 36), temple with dense punctation, interspaces rugulose. Figs 36^47. 36^-3. Microchelonus peruensis SHENEFELT: 36 = head in dorsal view with indication of its sculpture, 37 = head in lateral view with indication of the sculpture of temple, 38 = hind femur, 39 = distal part of right fore wing, 40 = carapace in dorsal view with indication of its sculpture, 41 = carapace in lateral view, 42 = apical end of male carapace in ventral view, 43 = apical end of male carapace in frontal view. - 44-47. Microchelonus carinatus (PROVANCHER): 44 = head in dorsal view, 45 = head in lateral view, 46 = distal part of right fore wing, 47 = hind femur
