Description
Small hymenopteran insects , 2.5 mm long. Dark brown (apical metasomal tergites yellow); Scapus and legs are yellow. Mesoscutum furrowed along notauli. Flagellum brown (consists of 19 segments). In the front wing, a radio-medial vein is developed. Fore tibia with single row of short spines along anterior margin. On the hind coxae of the legs there is a distinct anteroventral basal protrusion; the vertex of the head on the side of the eye is not sharply angular. Presumably, like other species of the genus Heterospilus , parasitize on beetles or butterflies. The species was first described in 2013 by the American hymenopterologist Paul Marsh ( Paul M. Marsh ; , Kansas , USA ) with a group of American fellow entomologists ( Wild Alexander L. , Whitfield James B .; University of Illinois at Urban- Champaign , Erbana , Illinois , USA) and named after the biostation ( Agujas Biological Station ), where a type specimen was found [1] .
