2FCD98DA34E2520E9B28BC492D2DD40B.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Prototeleia can be separated from all other genera of Platygastridae by the combination of the following characters: bulla of fore wing present; fore wing with marginal, postmarginal, and stigmal veins; anterior margins of T 2 and S 2 - S 4 with transverse lines of foveae; paracoxal sulcus present along anterior margin of metapleuron; malar sulcus present; malar and facial striae absent.	en	Talamas, Elijah J., Popovici, Ovidiu, Shih, Chungkun, Ren, Dong (2021): Prototeleia Talamas, Popovici, Shih & Ren: A new genus of Platygastridae from Burmese amber.

2FCD98DA34E2520E9B28BC492D2DD40B.taxon	etymology	Etymology. Prototeleia derives from Greek, meaning " primitive end ". This name refers to plesiomorphies retained on the metasoma: the transverse lines of foveae along the anterior margins of T 2 and S 2 - S 4, and the small degree by which the second metasomal segment is the longest. The species epithet, kleio, is the name of the Greek muse of history and refers to the piece of platygastrid history provided by this species.	en	Talamas, Elijah J., Popovici, Ovidiu, Shih, Chungkun, Ren, Dong (2021): Prototeleia Talamas, Popovici, Shih & Ren: A new genus of Platygastridae from Burmese amber.
