Abstract

A new species of the subfamily Tersilochinae, Barycnemis sugonyaevi sp. nov., is described from the Russian Far East. This species is readily distinguished from other species in this genus by its extremely short antennal flagellomeres, short basal area of the propodeum and short hind basitarsus. It resembles the genus Tersilochus as it has a short and weak foveate groove of the mesopleuron, short basal area of the propodeum and short thyridial depression, but other important features, such as a globose head, laterally compressed mesosoma, thickened femora, apically curved hind tibial spurs, and a short and robust ovipositor, indicate that this species belongs in Barycnemis.
