Ovidiu Alin Popovici | Veenakumari Kamalanathan | Mircea-Dan Mitroiu
A new species, Platygaster harpagoceras Popovici & Veenakumari, is described from India. The most unusual features of this species are the acuminate shape of the last antennomere and the 9-merous antenna in both sexes. The male and female are described and illustrated with brightfield and scanning electron microscopy. We provide a comparative analysis of the acuminate distal antennomere in the superfamily Chalcidoidea, including several genera of Pteromalidae (Callitula Spinola, Homoporus Thomson, Norbanus Walker, Rhaphitelus Walker).
