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

Etymology - The new species is dedicated to my good colleague Dr. GYÖRGY TOPÁL, mammalogist in the Hungarian Natural History Museum, who collected the series of the new species during his zoological collecting trip to Argentina in 1961 (TOPÁL 1963). Description of the female holotype - Body 2.8 mm long. Antenna somewhat longer than head and mesosoma combined and with 16 antennomeres. First flagellomere distinctly three times as long as broad apically, further flagellomeres progressively shortening so that penultinate flagellomere 1.4 times as long as broad. - Head in dorsal view (Fig. 65) transverse, 1.8 times as broad as long, eye somewhat longer than temple, latter rounded, occiput excavated. Eye in lateral view twice as high as wide, temple ventrally somewhat broadening, beyond eye somewhat broader than greatest width of eye (Fig. 66, sec arrows). Clypeus just less than twice as wide as high, its lower margin truncate (Fig. 67). Face more than twice as wide as high and with silvery hairs. Malar space almost 1.5 times as long as basal width of mandible. Face with fine, arched and dense rugulo-striation, dull; clypeus finely punctate, laterally rather with confluent punctation, shiny; vertex subshiny with transverse and fine strialion, occiput shiny with loose transverse and fine striation; temple punctate, interspaces polished (Fig. 66). Figs 65-76. 65-74. Microchelonus topali sp. n.: 65 = head in dorsal view with indication of its sculpture, 66 = head in lateral view with indication of the sculpture of temple, 67 = clypeus, 68 = hind femur, 69 = distal part of right fore wing, 70 = female carapace in dorsal view with indication of its sculpture, 71 = female carapace in lateral view, 72 = male carapace in dorsal view with indication of its sculpture, 73 = apical end of male carapace in ventral view, 74 = apical end of male carapace in frontal view. - 75-76. Microchelonus masoni (MCCOMB): 75 = head in dorsal view with indication of its sculpture, 76 = head in lateral view with indication of the sculpture of temple
