- Glypta ichitai sp. nov. (Figs. 1 I, 2 I, 3 H, 5 A, 6 I, 7 I, 8 J–L, 9 G, H) Description: Female (n= 1: HT). Body length 7.0 mm. Head. Ca. 0.6 times as long as wide. Clypeus 0.7 times as long as wide, roundly convex in lateral view (Fig. 2 I). Face weakly convex medially (Fig. 2 I), 0.5 times as long as wide. Frons with a large median horn between each antennal socket, its apex relateively rounded (Figs. 1 I, 3 H). OOL 1.4 times as long as OD; POL 1.4 (1.4–1.6) times as long as OD. Mandible with narrow ventral flange by basal 0.6, its base flat. MSL 1.1 times as long as BWM. Antenna with 35 flagellomeres. F 1 1.7 times as long as F 2. Mesosoma. Punctate, punctures on lateral lobes of mesoscutum (excluding near notaulus) separated by 0.3 –2.0 (usually ca. 1.0) times their diameter. Epomia weak and short. Lateral area of pronotum entirely punctate. Both sides of mesoscutum near tegula weakly and obtusely produced posteriorly. Propodeum entirely densely punctate except for narrow smooth area anterioly. Anterior transverse carina of propodeum absent. Lateromedian longitudinal carina of propodeum present on anterior part. Lateral longitudinal carina of propodeum absent. Posterior transverse carina of propodeum complete. Fore wing length 5.0 mm. Fore coxa with slight ridge anterodorsally. Hind femur 6.0 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS 1 2.2 times as long as TS 2. Metasoma. T 1 –T 4 punctate (Figs. 6 I, 7 I). T 1 1.2 times as long as maximum width, its median dorsal carina present on ca. basal 0.6 of tergite (Fig. 6 I). T 2 1.0 times as long as maximum width. T 2 –T 4 each with moderate a pair of oblique groove (Fig. 7 I). Ovipositor sheath ca. 1.0 times as long as fore wing, 2.3 times as long as hind tibia. Colouration. Body (excluding wings and legs) black, except for: apical part of clypeus, tip of mandible, palpi, posterodorsal corner of pronotum, tegula, membranous parts of sternites and posterior part of subgenital plate yellowish-brown; posterior margin of each metasomal tergite tinged with reddish-brown; flagellum blackishbrown, its ventral surface slightly paler than dorsal surface; ovipositor reddish-brown. Wings hyaline; veins and pterostigma yellowish-brown except for yellow wing base. Legs (hind leg: Fig. 5 A) blackish-brown to black, except for: apex of all trochanters, all trochantellus, fore and mid femora, tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown to yellow; middle part of hind tibia slightly tinged with yellow; hind tarsus with basal yellow areas on TS 1 –TS 4 and slightly on TS 5. Yellow areas of TS 1 slightly shorter than its black area and of TS 2 –TS 3 shorter than black area of each segment. Male (n= 5). Similar to female. Body length 6.5 –8.0 mm. OOL 1.2–1.4 times as long as OD; POL 1.4–1.6 times as long as OD. MSL 1.0– 1.1 times as long as BWM. Antenna with 35–37 flagellomeres. F 1 1.4–1.7 times as long as F 2. Fore wing length 5.0– 6.5 mm. Hind femur 5.5 –6.0 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS 1 1.8 –2.0 times as long as TS 2. T 1 1.2–1.4 times as long as maximum width. T 2 0.9 –1.0 times as long as maximum width. Posterior margin of subgenital plate convex to nearly straight (Fig. 8 J). Apical margin of paramere roundly produced (Figs. 8 K, 9 G, H). Dorsal margin of paramere with convexity apically (Figs. 8 K, 9 G). Flagellum sometimes paler than female. Posterodorsal corner of pronotum, tegula and base of hind tibia paler than female. Fore and mid coxae largely reddish-brown to yellowish-brown. Hind tibia and tarsus sometimes paler than female. Material examined (n= 6). JAPAN: [Holotype] F, Aomori Pref., Aomori city, Tashirotai, 6. vii. 1997, T. Ichita leg. (NIAES). [Paratypes] 1 M, Hokkaido Pref., Sapporo, 20. vii. 1965, K. Kusigemati leg. (KU); 2 M, same data as holotype (NIAES); 1 M, Tokyo Pref., Oume-city, Mt. Mitake-san to Mt. Ootake-san, 1. vi. 2008, T. Ishizaki leg. (KPMNH: KPM-NK 5001183); 1 M, Nagano Pref., Takekawa-dani, 5. viii. 1934, N. Kumazawa leg. (NIAES) Distribution (Fig. 12). Japan (Hokkaido and Honshu). Biology. Unknown. Etymology. The specific name is from the collector of types, Dr. Tadao Ichita, who contributes to the applied and faunal studies of Japanese insects. Remarks. This species resembles G. aceres and G. kamijoi in the colouration of hind leg but it can be distinguished by the large frontal horn without median notch at apex (small in aceres, with a median notch in kamijoi), the ovipositor sheath longer than fore wing (shorter than fore wing in aceres), and the hind TS 1 –TS 3 with white band (without in kamijoi).
