Asecodes lineophagum Hansson & Hambäck 2013

FEMALE. Length 1.0–1.8 mm. Antenna dark brown (Fig. 10). Frons below frontal suture metallic purple with upper-lateral corners close to eyes and frontal suture golden-green (Fig. 26), above suture golden green. Vertex metallic purple inside ocellar triangle, golden-green outside triangle. Mesoscutum black with metallic purple tinges (Fig. 16). Scutellum metallic bluish-green (Fig. 16). Axillae black with metallic purple tinges (Fig. 16). Dorsellum metallic bluish-green (Fig. 16). Propodeum metallic bluish-green (Fig. 16). Coxae, femora and tibiae dark brown to black, and shiny (as in Fig. 1); fore tarsus dark brown, mid and hind tarsi with tarsomeres 1–3 yellowish-white, tarsomere 4 dark brown. Forewing hyaline (Fig. 2), wing interference pattern as in Fig. 3. Petiole dark brown to black. Gaster with 1st tergite metallic bluish-green, remaining tergites dark brown to black with metallic purple tinges. Antenna as in Fig. 10. Frons below frontal suture with weak reticulation, above suture smooth; antennal scrobes join on frontal suture. Vertex with very weak reticulation inside ocellar triangle, smooth outside triangle. Mesoscutum with weak reticulation (Fig. 17). Scutellum with very weak reticulation in anterior 2/3 (Fig. 17), posterior 1/3 smooth. Axillae with weak reticulation (Fig. 17). Dorsellum slightly convex and smooth (Fig. 17). Propodeum with a wide groove along anterior margin (Fig. 17), with weak reticulation; propodeal callus with 3–5 setae. Forewing (Fig. 2) bare just behind marginal vein, speculum open, setation relatively sparse, and with 5–9 admarginal setae. Petiole as a short, transverse, narrow stripe. Gaster circular. Ratios. Height of eye/malar space/width of mouth = 2.6/1.0/1.8; shortest distance between posterior ocelli/posterior ocellus and eye/posterior ocellus and occipital margin = 10.4/5.4/1.0; width of head/width of mesosoma = 1.1; length of forewing/length of marginal vein/height of forewing = 2.4/1.0/1.0; length of postmarginal vein/length of stigmal vein= 0.6; length of mesosoma/length of gaster = 1.0. MALE. Length 0.9–1.4 mm. Very similar to female except antenna (Fig. 13) with scape wider, flagellomeres longer and more slender, and apical two flagellomeres distinctly separated. Ratios. Height of eye/malar space/width of mouth = 2.1/1.0/1.6; length of mesosoma/length of gaster = 1.0–1.2.
