Janzenella theia Bremer & Talamas (Platygastroidea, Janzenellidae): a new species from Baltic amber
No full textA new species, Janzenella theia Bremer & Talamas, sp. nov., is described from Baltic amber, which is the second known species of the family Janzenellidae (Platygastroidea). Synchrotron scanning was performed to observe internal structures and external morphology that was occluded by turbidity in the amber matrix surrounding the specimen

Color: mandibles, basal antennomeres and legs yellow to brown; otherwise dark brown to black. Head: Sculpture of A1: reticulate. Shape of clypeus: rectangular. Maximum length of compound eye: greater than length of malar sulcus. Setation of eyes: sparsely setose throughout. Ocelli: present. Length of central keel: 0.4× length of frons. Setation of head: absent on antennal scrobe, otherwise even and sparse. Sculpture of head: reticulate microsculpture. Sculpture of vertex: reticulate. Occipital carina: incomplete dorsally. Mesosoma: Transverse pronotal sulcus: absent. Epomial carina: absent. Lateral face of pronotum: concave. Netrion: present. Sculpture of mesoscutum: reticulate. Scutoscutellar sulcus: simple transverse furrow. Shape of mesoscutellum: semicircular. Sculpture of mesoscutellum: scaly reticulate. Sculpture of speculum: transversely striate. Mesopleural pit: present. Posterior mesepimeral sulcus: weakly foveate. Mesopleural carina: complete. Sculpture of mesopleuron below femoral depression: coriaceous reticulate. Postacetabular sulcus: present as a smooth furrow or indicated by very fine cells. Sculpture of metascutellum: striate-foveate. Sculpture of metanotal trough: foveate. Metapleural sulcus: present. Metapleural epicoxal carina: absent. Sculpture of metapleural triangle: areolate rugose. Metasoma: Foveae along anterior margin of T1: present. Sculpture of T1–T6: reticulate. Diagnosis. Apteroscelio shyamala has T2 as the largest metasomal tergite. In A. aureus and A. montanus T3 is the largest. Etymology. The species is named ‘ shyamala ’ meaning black in Sanskrit, referring to the color of this species. The name is treated as a noun in apposition and is also intended as a tribute to the first author’s friend, Dr. Radha Shyamala.
