- Glypta suwai sp. nov. (Figs. 1 N, 2 N, 3 M, 5 F, 6 N, 7 N) Description: Female (n= 1: HT). Body length 7.0 mm. Head. Ca. 0.7 times as long as wide. Clypeus 0.7 times as long as wide, roundly convex in lateral view (Fig. 2 N). Face strongly convex medially (Fig. 2 N), 0.5 times as long as wide. Frons with a large median horn between each antennal socket, its apex relateively pointed (Figs. 1 N, 3 M). OOL 1.6 times as long as OD; POL 1.6 times as long as OD. Mandible with narrow ventral flange by basal 0.5, its base slightly convex. MSL 1.0 times as long as BWM. Antenna with 35 flagellomeres. F 1 1.5 times as long as F 2. Mesosoma. Densely punctate, punctures on lateral lobes of mesoscutum (excluding near notaulus) separated by 0.3 –2.0 (usually ca. 0.6) times their diameter. Epomia obscured. Lateral area of pronotum entirely punctate. Both sides of mesoscutum near tegula weakly produced posteriorly. Propodeum entirely densely punctate. Anterior transverse carina of propodeum slightly present on lateral section. Lateromedian longitudinal carina of propodeum present on anterior section. Lateral longitudinal carina of propodeum largely obscured. Posterior transverse carina of propodeum complete. Fore wing length 6.0 mm. Fore coxa with weak ridge antero-dorsally. Hind femur 5.1 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS 1 2.3 times as long as TS 2. Metasoma. T 1 –T 4 densely punctate (Figs. 6 N, 7 N). T 1 1.1 times as long as maximum width, its median dorsal carina present on ca. basal 0.6 of tergite (Fig. 6 N). T 2 0.8 times as long as maximum width. T 2 –T 4 each with moderate a pair of oblique groove (Fig. 7 N). Ovipositor sheath ca. 0.7 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, mandible excluding tip and base, palpi, posterodorsal corner of pronotum (weakly elongated anterioly), tegula, membranous parts of sternites and posterior part of subgenital plate yellowish-brown; apex of pedicel, flagellum and posterior margin of each metasomal tergites tinged with reddish-brown; scape and base of pedicel blackish-brown; ovipositor reddishbrown to yellowish-brown. Wings hyaline, slightly tinged with yellow; veins and pterostigma brown except for yellow wing base. Legs (hind leg: Fig. 5 F) reddish-brown, except for: fore and mid coxae, all trochanters, all trochanters, hind tibia excluding black area, all tibial spurs and basal area of hind TS 1 –TS 3 pale yellow; hind femur slightly darkened apically; subbasal band of hind tibia weakly tinged with black; apical part of hind tibia black; hind tarsus blackish-brown to black with basal yellow areas on TS 1 –TS 3. Yellow areas of TS 1 ca. 0.5 length of TS 1 and of TS 2 –TS 3 present only basally. Male. Unknown. Material examined. JAPAN: 1 F, Hokkaido Pref., Sapporo, 8. viii. 1966, M. Suwa leg. (KU). Distribution (Fig. 13). Japan (Hokkaido). Biology. Unknown. Etymology. The specific name is from the collector of holotype, Dr. Masaaki Suwa. He contributes Japanese Entomology, especially the taxonomy of Diptera. Remarks. This species has been confused with G. cymolomiae and its allied species but they can be distinguished from each other by the above key and Table 1. This species also resembles G. elongata asiatica Kuslitzky 2007, in the yellow spot of posterodorsal corner of pronotum weakly elongated anteriorly but it can be distinguished by the ovipositor sheath distinctly shorter than fore wing, ca. 0.7 times as long as fore wing (slightly longer than fore wing in elongata asiatica), and the metasomal tergites largely black (tinged with rad basally in elongata asiatica).
