Antennae with 5 segments between pedicel and mace; segments not undifferentiated for annelus and flagellum. Propodeum smooth and shiny. Antennae are very low, near the edge of the clypeus .

Systematics and etymology
The species Boucekelimus elongatus was first described in 2005 by Australian entomologists Il-Kwon and John La Salle ( Il-Kwon Kim & John La Salle ; CSIRO Entomology, Canberra , Australia ) under the original name Tetrastichus petiolatus Erdös, 1961 . The taxon Boucekelimus elongatus is included in the Boucekelimini tribe along with the species Tatiana mymaroides Kim & La Salle, 2005 . The systematic position of Boucekelimini in the Eulophidae family remains uncertain. The generic name of Boucekelimus is given in honor of a major British hymenopterologist of Czech origin, Zdenĕk Boucek ( Zdenĕk Bouček , Ph.D., 1924–2011) [1] [2] [3] .
