Subfamily: Microgastrinae
SUMMARY
Descriptions and comments taken from original description (Mason 1981). Hypopygium short, evenly sclerotized but sharply folded medially. Ovipositor evenly decurved, shorter than hind tibia; sheaths hairy throughout their pigmented part. Tergite I nearly twice as long as wide, basally parallel-sided, broadly rounded on the apical 0.4; surface weakly roughened; a sharp median groove basally. Tergite II broadly subtriangular, medially with a raised, shiny subcircular area, laterally roughened; tergum III about 1.5x as long as II. Propodeum mostly shining, bearing a strong median longitudinal carina, and, at basal third, a transverse carina forking around spiracle; propodeum moderately declivous behind transverse carina. Anterior margin of metanotum close to scutellum, with a broad, setose, sublateral lobe. Lateral lunules of scutellum absent, atea above them almost completely smooth. Upper groove of pronotum stronger than lower; propleuron with a lateral carina and poorly developed lobe at lower end. Tibial spurs long. A small spur at junction of radius and intercubitus; 2nd intercubitus (r-m) missing; distal abscissa of radius (Rs) convex posteriorly on the proximal part. Length of cubitellan cell over twice its height; margin of vannal lobe very slightly convex and weakly hairy.
Type: Apanteles insolens (Wilkinson 1930).
Known from a single, very peculiar species from South Africa. Taxonomically it is isolated as Wilkinson and Nixon both noted, but the sharp basal groove on tergite I may indicate some relationship to Pseudapanteles, according to Mason (1981).
