Black; antennae, mandibles, tegulae and legs including coxae medium brown; base and apex of fore tibiae, base of mid and hind tibiae, and segments 1–4 of all tarsi light brown.</p> <p>HEAD. From above 2.1 times as wide as long, 1.2 times as wide as mesosoma; occiput rounded, finely reticulate-coriaceous, medially with weak transverse elements, anteromedially with a few weak transverse carinae not wider than ocellar area; vertex finely reticulate-coriaceous (not transversely so); frons smoothly fan-like reticulate out from a weak longitudinal midline. Eyes bare. OOL:POL:LOL = 3.5:6.5:3.0. Head in frontal view one and a third times as wide as high. Malar space slightly more than half as long as eye height (5.0:9.5). Antenna with A1 shorter than height of head (15:16), longer than distance between inner orbits (15:14). Length:width of A1–A10 = 15.0:2.5; 4.0:1.9; 2.0:1.2; 2.5:1.7; 2.8:1.5; 3.5:1.9; 3.5:1.8; 3.4:2.0; 3.4:2.0; 4.5:1.9. Flagellar pubescence short.</p> <p>MESOSOMA. 1.45 times as long as wide, higher than wide (19:18). Sides of pronotum weakly reticulate, in lower half longitudinally so, smoother along narrow upper and hind margins. Mesoscutum with a few setae, most of them anterolaterally and along hind margin, weakly reticulate, smoother medially on lateral lobes and posterior 0.25; notauli distinct in about posterior half, then fade out, meeting in a fine point just touching base of scutellum; scuto-scutellar grooves narrowly triangular, each covered by about seven setae. Mesopleuron smooth. Scutellum evenly convex, smooth, anterolaterally slightly leathery, medially bare, towards margins dense setose. Metapleuron with pilosity all over, though not dense. Propodeal carinae short, parallel; area between them distinctly wider than long, smooth.</p> <p>WINGS. Fore wing 0.85 as long as entire body, 2.7 times as long as wide, surpassing tip of metasoma by a distance equal to 1.25 times combined length of T 3– T 6, clear, with fine and dense microtrichia; marginal cilia 0.08 width of wing. Hind wing 5.6 times as long as wide, with two hamuli; marginal cilia 0.3 width of wing.</p> <p>METASOMA. As long as rest of body to very slightly longer (37:35), about 1.9 times as long as wide, 1.1 times as wide as mesosoma. Length:width of T 1– T 6 = 5.0:9.0; 20.0:19.7; 3.0:19.0; 3.5:17.0; 3.5:13.5; 4.0:8.5. T 1 with about ten rather uniform, fine longitudinal carinae, with a transverse depression around midlength.

Apical tergites with setae in fine punctures: about four on T 3, ten on each of T 4 and T 6, and 12 on T 5.</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>Similar to the species complex around P. splendidula Thomson, 1859, but with more slender antennae (A5 hardly transverse and A7–A9 each as wide as long in P. splendidula). As with P. karimpouri Asadi &amp; Buhl sp. nov., P. azarbaijanica sp. nov. has slightly slender antennae than P. pedasus Walker, 1835, which, however, has head less transverse than P. azarbaijanica sp. nov. (about 1.7 × as broad as long in P. pedasus vs about 2.1 × as broad as long in P. azarbaijanica sp. nov.); T2 smooth medially (vs densely strigose in P. pedasus); and mid lobe between notauli not quite reaching scutellum (vs nearly complete in P. pedasus). Platygaster azarbaijanica sp. nov. has antennae slightly less slender than P. ennius Walker, 1835 (all funicular segments distinctly longer than wide in both species except relatively shorter A 3 in P. azarbaijanica sp. nov.) which also has occiput transversely striate, nearly complete notauli, and T2 striate only in the basal third. Platygaster azarbaijanica sp. nov. also has the head slightly more transverse and mesoscutum slightly more sculptured than in the splendidula group; but antennae are distinctly slender than in this group.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B87ECFC0FFFD4D1CAFBB1FDAB173F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

From above 1.8 times as wide as long, hardly 1.1 times as wide as mesosoma, very faintly reticulate-coriaceous, just behind ocellar area with a short, incomplete, weak hyperoccipital carina. OOL:POL:LOL = 2.0:8.0:3.5. OOL very slightly longer than longest diameter of lateral ocellus. Eyes bare. Head in frontal view 1.15 as wide as high. Antenna with A1 0.8 as long as height of head, longer than distance between inner orbits (15:14). Length:width of A1–A10 = 15.0:2.1; 4.7:1.3; 2.0:1.0; 4.0:1.0; 2.0:1.1; 2.2:1.5; 2.9:1.7; 3.0:2.0; 3.0:2.0; 4.8:2.0. Flagellar pubescence negligible.</p> <p>MESOSOMA. 1.4 times as long as wide, about as high as wide. Sides of pronotum reticulate-coriaceous (in lower half longitudinally so). Mesoscutum with very sparse, scattered setae, very finely and evenly reticulate-coriaceous; notauli faintly indicated in posterior two-thirds; mid lobe slightly prolonged, somewhat bluntly, to base of scutellum, dark and swollen here. Scuto-scutellar grooves wide, each with six strong, pale setae in anterior half. Mesopleuron smooth, with two strong longitudinal furrows and some weaker ones just below tegula. Scutellum smooth and bare on large medial area, finely coriaceous on anterior slope, along sides with dense white setae, posteriorly obliquely angled in lateral view, bluntly triangular in dorsal view. Metapleuron in anterior half smooth and bare, in posterior half with dense, white adpressed pilosity. Propodeal carinae low, dark, well separated, slightly diverging; area between them only slightly longer than its posterior width.</p> <p>WINGS. Much damaged in a unique specimen, but fore wing seems to be of average size (reaching at least base of T 6), with whitish tint and without visible microtrichia or marginal cilia.</p> <p>METASOMA. About 1.3 times as long as rest of body, 2.3 times as long as wide, 1.3 times as wide as high, very slightly wider than mesosoma. Length:width of T 1– T 6 = 4.0:9.0; 34.0:22.0; 3.0:20.5; 2.5:18.0; 3.0:15.0; 7.0:11.0. T 1 with numerous fine longitudinal carinae, only laterally with pubescence. T 2 anteromedially convex, here longitudinally striate to 0.2 of length, at each side with a longitudinal fovea of similar length, pubescent in basal half. T 3– T 5 each with a transverse stripe of weak reticulation and about ten inconspicuous setae. T 6 with faint reticulation all over, with very few scattered setae.</p> <p>Remarks</p> <p>Similar to the hitherto differentiated species S. latvianum Buhl, 2009 in shape of the anterior part of T2, but S. latvianum has preapical antennal segments transverse (vs distinctly longer than wide in S. calecai sp. nov.), and lacks hyperoccipital carina and notauli.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/038B87ECFC00FFDFD21FFDB3FCE513B5	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
