Female (length about 1.0- 1.6mm): head black, frontovertex with a dull purple hue; scape dark brown externally, orange-brown internally; flagellum testaceous-brown; pronotum with a dark coppery-purple sheen; mesoscutum more less uniform shining metallic green, rarely metallic blue, clothed in pale, translucent setae that are generally silvery in appearance, posterior margin narrowly coppery purple; tegula dark brown; scutellum dull coppery purple, apex metallic green to metallic blue; legs pale orange; head about 2.9-3.8X as wide as frontovertex; frontovertex slightly shiny with relatively shallow, regular, polygonally reticulate sculpture of slightly smaller mesh size than diameter of eye facet; antenna (Fig. 385) with scape subcylindrical, about 6.4X as long as broad; funicle with all segments about 1.5X as long as broad, becoming slightly wider and longer distally, linear sensilla present on all segments; clava slender, hardly broadened, about as long as F4-F6 combined; mesoscutum and axilla with polygonally reticulate to imbricate reticulate sculpture that is generally of slightly larger mesh size than that in ocellar area and about as deep; anterior two-thirds of scutellum with conspicuously deeper, coarse polygonally reticulate sculpture, posterior one-third smooth and shiny; fore wing about 2.75X as long as broad, with venation and setation as in Figs 386, 387; costal cell with a single line of setae in apical one-third or so; hypopygium Fig. 389; ovipositor (Fig. 390) hardly exserted, the exserted part less than 0.2X as long as mid tibial spur. Male (length about 0.9-1.3mm): flagellum brown, F1 usually at least slightly paler, sometimes pale orange; frontovertex and face with a distinct metallic green or blue-green sheen; head about 1.8X as wide as frontovertex; a tight group of 2-8 bristle-like setae medially at top of scrobes, above these numerous, fairly dense, scattered, shorter setae on frontovertex; gena, and area above mouth margin with several conspicuous, longer, erect, setae; antenna (Fig. 388) with scape triangular, broadest at base, about 2.4X as long as broad, funicle 5-segmented, all segments at least about 4-5X as long as broad, clothed in setae not longer than 1.5X diameter of segment; aedeagus (Fig, 391) slightly less than half length of mid tibia. DISTRIBUTION. Recorded from Canada (new record), USA (mainland and Hawaii), Cuba, Jamaica, Dominican Republic (new record), Puerto Rico (new record), St Vincent & Grenadines, Trinidad & Tobago, Mexico (new record), Guatemala (new record), Belize (new record), Costa Rica (new record), Venezuela (new record), Surinam (new record), Ecuador, Peru (new record), Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina (see below and also Noyes 2019). HOSTS. Recorded as a parasitoid of Gonatopus Ljungh (Perkins, 1906), Gonatopus ashmeadi Kieffer (Fry, 1989), Gonatopus cavazzutii Olmi and Pseudogonatopus flavus Olmi (De Santis & Fidalgo, 1994) and Haplogonatopus vitiensis Perkins. (Herting, 1977) (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae) parasitising various auchenorrhynchus Hemiptera, e.g. Amblysellus Sleesman (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae), Megamelus Fieber, (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) (see Noyes, 2019). Recorded below from Haplogonatopus crucianus Olmi (new record) (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae). Also recorded below from Florida as a gregarious parasitoid of the pupa of a syrphid (Diptera: Syrphidae) feeding on aphids. A series was reared from a single syrphid puparium (? Ocyptamus Macquart, det. N.P. Wyatt, 2022) which is mounted together with one of the parasitoids (NHMUK). This confirms the record of this species being a hyperparasitoid of Baccha Fabricius (Diptera: Syrphidae) in Brazil (De Santis, 1980). MATERIAL EXAMINED. Non type material.
