Calosega flavipes Mita 2022, comb. nov.
No full textCalosega flavipes (Kimsey, 1995) comb. nov. (Figs 1–4) Perissosega flavipes Kimsey, 1995: 594. Holotype ♀; type locality: Thailand, Khao Yai Natl. Park (CNC). Holotype ♀, “ THAILAND: 180km N.E. Bangkok, Khao Yai N.P., 780m, 11-18-IV-1990, M. T., Moist Semi Evergreen Forest, B. V. Brown ”, “ HOLOTYPE, Perissosega flavipes Kimsey ”, “ HOLOTYPE Perissosega flavipes Kimsey, CNC No. 22205”, “ CNC, 957622” (CNC, photos examined). Remarks. 2r-rs 2 v is almost straight and the dark streak of Rs 2 v is also almost straight, but the connection is strongly arced (Fig. 1). It appears similar to those of Perissosega and other related genera. However, as indicated by Kimsey (1995), other important characters do not match the diagnosis of Perissosega (Krombein, 1983; Kimsey & Bohart 1991). The absence of a smooth strip on vertex (Fig. 3), the well-developed and not-excavated vertex, the presence of a complete omaulus and posterior oblique sulcus (Fig. 2), and also the presence of a dorsal carina on metacoxa (Fig. 4) are common with Isegama among the genera known in the Indo-China region. However, the presence of postero-medial pit on pronotum and the developed posterior propodeal tooth places this species in the genus Calosega. The general habitus, and the smaller and sparsely located punctures of the body are similar to Calosega kamiteta Terayama, 1999; however, C. flavipes is distinguished from C. kamiteta by the wider flagellum, F2 2.0 × wider than long (F2 1.5 × wider than long) and the unique condition of Rs 2 v (Rs 2 v is normal in C. kamiteta, the 2r-rs 2 v and dark streak of Rs 2 v is weakly curving, the connection does not from a strong arc).Published as part of Mita, Toshiharu, 2022, Taxonomy of Perissosega Krombein (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae, Amiseginae) with description of a new species from Japan, pp. 279-285 in Zootaxa 5169 (3) on pages 280-281, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5169.3.4, http://zenodo.org/record/695235

Etymology The specimen was collected during the field trip in Madagascar from January to February 2018. After that, the holotype was displayed at the summer exhibition of the National Museum of Nature and Science, Tokyo, Japan from July to October 2018. The species is named after Ms Rio Matsushima, a girl who visited the exhibition and heartily encouraged our study on this tiny blue wasp.

Sterna metallic green. Male Body length 4.2 mm. Similar to female (Fig. 4 A–B) but different as follow: body slightly more greenish; lateral teeth on T3 rounded (Fig. 4D, F); S2 black spots (Fig. 4E) reniform; paramere with inner margin substraight (Fig. 9B); aedeagus strongly narrowed apically (Fig. 9B). Distribution Madagascar. Biology Unknown. Remarks The type locality name “Annanarivo” is ambiguous. It might indicate an area near Antananarivo, northeast of the capital city, or even a larger undefined area. The body color of Chrysidea vazimba sp. nov. is similar to that of C. pumiloides, but is easily distinguished by the presence of one TFC (Figs 3B, 4B) and humped metanotum. Morphological characters are rather similar to C. rhodopis Zimmermann, 1961; however, in C. vazimba sp. nov., interspaces among punctures on T2 are smooth and black spots on S2 are more rounded and more closely located each other (Figs 3E, 4E).Published as part of Mita, Toshiharu & Rosa, Paolo, 2019, Redescription of Chrysidea pumiloides Zimmermann, 1956, and description of three new species of Chrysidea from Madagascar (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae), pp. 1-20 in European Journal of Taxonomy 564 on pages 6-9, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2019.564, http://zenodo.org/record/347682
