Janzenella, an enigmatic new genus of scelionid wasp from Costa Rica (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea, Scelionidae) ; American Museum novitates, no. 3574

Abstract

Janzenella, new genus, is described from the Neotropics (type species: J. innupta, new species). The position of the genus within the superfamily is unclear. Janzenella is characterized by the strongly depressed body, relatively dorsal position of the foramen magnum of the head, and the loosely articulated metasomatic segments with broad laterotergites and no laterosternites.
