03C487BAFFD11319FF07FDBC52FEFDCB.taxon	discussion	Comments. L. baspinari is most similar to L. africana Anga & Noyes and L. nigrocoxalis Compere (Anga & Noyes, 1999). In L. baspinari, F 1 is about 1.3 – 1.7 × as long as pedicel and about 4 × as long as broad, while in L. africana F 1 is nearly 4 × as long as pedicel and about 5.5 × as long as broad. In L. nigrocoxalis, F 1 is 1.3 – 2.0 × as long as pedicel, similar to L. baspinari but F 1 is about 5.5 × as long as broad. The position of posterior ocelli relative to occipital margin and eye margin is variable in L. baspinari, but usually at the same distance to eye margin as to occipital margin; in L. africana, the posterior ocelli are closer to occipital margin than to the eye margin In L. nigrocoxalis, the position of the ocelli relative to occipital and eye margin is variable, though usually with same distance to eye margin as to occipital margin. In L. baspinari the stigmal vein is shorter than the marginal vein, while the stigmal vein is as long as the marginal vein in L. africana and L. nigrocoxalis. The linea calva is interrupted by 3 lines of setae in the new species, by 2 lines of setae in L. africana and by 4 or 5 lines of setae in L. nigrocoxalis. Finally, the body is entirely dark brown to black in L. baspinari similar to L. africana, whereas the body, including the gaster, is orange to dusky orange in L. nigricoxalis.	en	Japoshvili, George, Yerlikaya, Hüseyin, Kaydan, Mehmet Bora (2023): New records of mealybug (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) parasitoids belonging to the family Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) from Turkey.
