Creators

Description

Diapria melanopleura Ashmead, 1896: 805, 806.

Valid name

Trichopria melanopleura (Ashmead, 1896) stat. rev.

Summary of types

Holotype ♂, BMNH number 9.726, by monotypy.

Primary type data

Balthazar/ Windward side/ Grenada, W.I./ H.H. Smith; Type / H. T.; Diapria / melanopleura/ ♂ Type Ashm.

Type locality

West Indies, Grenada, Balthazar.

Remarks

The holotype is mounted on a card and has the tip of right hind tarsus missing. This species was included in Xyalopria Kieffer, 1907 by Masner (1965), then Megaplastopria Ashmead, 1903 by Arias-Penna (2003); however, this species does not belong to Megaplastopria. While it has a slender propodeal spine, it lacks key characters of Xyalopria such as the occipital spine and carina, grooved scape and flared corners of the metasomal tergites, and is returned here to Trichopria. It belongs to the group of species in which the males have whorled hairs on the antennal flagellum.
