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

From among the Neotropical species of the genus Microchelonus the new species seems to be nearest, on the basis of its description, to M. johni (MARSH, 1979) (Colombia), the two species are distinguished by the features keyed: 1 (2) Antennomeres 10-15 as long as broad (i.e. cubic). Caudal margin of propodeum defined by a strong transverse ridge, both pairs of projections strong. Carapace strongly rugose and areolate, particularly at base. Veins r and 3-SR about equal in length (Fig. 7 in MARSH 1979: 13). Apical foramen of male carapace large, 1.5 times (in Fig. 9 MARSH 1979: 15 twice) as wide as high. Çd: 3 mm M. johni (MARSH) Figs 48-64. 48-61. Microchelonus subplanus sp. n.: 48 = antennomeres 12-16, 49 = head in lateral view with indication of the sculpture of temple, 50 = clypeus, 51 = scutellum with lateral pair of lobes (see arrows), 52 = hind femur of female, 53 = distal part of right fore wing, 54 = female carapace in dorsal view with indication of its sculpture, 55 = female carapace in lateral view, 56 = posterior end of female carapace in ventral view, 57 = apical end of female carapace in frontal view, 58 = hind femur of male, 59 = male carapace in dorsal view with indication of its sculpture. 60 = posterior end of male carapace in lateral view, 61 = apical end of male carapace in frontal view. - 62-64. Microchelonus pectiniphorae (CUSHMAN): 62 = distal part of right fore wing, 63 = head in lateral view with indication of the sculpture of temple, 64 = apical end of male carapace in frontal view
