Description. Malar sulcus compound. Malar space completely striate from ventral margin of malar space to base of compound eye. Malar protuberance smooth, elongate, extending beyond length of ventral margin of malar space. Clypeal protuberance elongate, overhanging anterior margin of clypeus. Tubercles of scutellar plate present,
distinct, large, length of tubercle equal to or greater than width of tubercle base. Dorsal surface of scutellar plate concave around midpit, two setal bearing pits at base of each tubercle. Carina along posterior margin of scutellum present, distinctly cleft, defining transition from dorsal surface of scutellum from posterior surface. Dorsal surface of scutellum entirely rugulose/wrinkled. Midpit of scutellar plate in posterior half of plate; plate small, revealing dorsal surface of scutellum when viewed dorsally. Mesopopleural setal patch absent. Mesopleuron distinctly striate along the anterior, posterior margins; often entire sclerite striate. Lateral aspect of pronotum anteriorly with some short setae, remainder glabrous. Marginal cell of forewing as deep as long. Metasoma of sub-equal in size to mesosoma in lateral view.
Diagnosis. This species is separated from all other species of Ganaspidium by the distinctly striate mesopleuron and fully striate malar space. In some G. pusillae and G. kolmaci, the postero-dorsal corner of the mesopleuron can be striate, as well as the ventral one-half to one-third of the malar space, but in neither case is the entire surface striate as in G. konzaensis.
Etymology. Named for the type locality of the holotype, Konza Prairie Biological Reserve, Geary County, Kansas. The gender is neuter.
