Gonatocerus ( Gonatocerus) aequatorianus (Ogloblin, 1959) View in CoL

(Not included in key)

( Figs 5–7 View FIGURES 5 – 7 )

Lymaenon aequatorianus Ogloblin 1959b: 58 View in CoL –61. Type locality: San Mateo, Esmeraldas, Ecuador. Gonatocerus ( Gonatocerus) aequatorianus (Ogloblin) : De Santis 1979: 364 (catalog).

Gonatocerus aequatorianus (Ogloblin) View in CoL : Yoshimoto 1990: 39 (mistakenly listed in membraciphagus species group). Lymaenon aequatorianus Ogloblin : Loiácono et al. 2005: 12 ( type information).

Type material examined. Holotype male [ MLPA] on slide labeled: 1. “ Lymaenon equatorianus A. Ogl. ♂ Holotypus Rep. Ecuador San Mateo. 19.v.56 J. Förster”; 2. ‘3932/1”. The mounting medium on the original slide ( Fig. 4 View FIGURE 4 ) was so dark that the poorly preserved, fragmented specimen was hardly visible, so we remounted the holotype in Canada balsam under four coverslips, as follows: 1) head; 2) both forewings and 1 hind wing; 3) scape, pedicel, and F1–F4 of one antenna and scape (without radicle) of the other antenna; 4) fragmented body and some leg segments.

The published collection date of the holotype ( 28.v.1956) contradicts the collection date on the holotype slide ( 19.v.1956).

Redescription. MALE (holotype). Body light brown (midlobe of mesoscutum posteriorly and along notauli, petiole, and base of gaster) to brown; scape, pedicel, and legs light brown; flagellum brown. Antenna ( Fig. 5 View FIGURES 5 – 7 ) with scape minus radicle 2.7x as long as wide. Mesoscutum and scutellum with faint sculpture. Propodeum with 2 faint submedian carinae. Forewing ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 5 – 7 ) narrow, 4.3x as long as wide; disc slightly infumate throughout and setose behind and beyond venation, less densely so behind stigmal vein; longest marginal seta about 0.6x maximum forewing width. Hind wing about 25x as long as wide; disc slightly infumate throughout, with setae only along margins; longest marginal seta 3.6x maximum wing width. Metasoma ( Fig. 6 View FIGURES 5 – 7 ) with petiole short.

Measurements (µm) of the holotype. Mesosoma 348; petiole 27; gaster 406. Antenna: radicle 61; rest of scape 91; pedicel 51; F1 73; F2 82; F3 83; F4 82. Forewing 923:213; longest marginal seta 121. Hind wing: 745:30; longest marginal seta 109.

Diagnosis. Gonatocerus ( Gonatocerus) aequatorianus , known only from the male holotype, is characterized by its light brown to brown body and narrow forewing (length:width 4.3) with uniformly infumate disc, which is sparsely setose behind the stigmal vein ( Fig. 7 View FIGURES 5 – 7 ). Until the female is identified it is impossible to properly compare G. aequatorianus with the other species and for this reason it was not included in the key.
