Psilochalcis carinigena (Cameron, 1907) (Figs 58–61) Material examined. Kerala: 3♀, 1♂ Malappuram dt., Calicut University Botanical Garden, 10–12.ix.2019, Coll. C. Binoy. Diagnosis. Black with tegula, fore and mid legs beyond coxae, and metatrochanter, metafemur and metatibia except for ventral margin, reddish-brown (Fig. 58); metatarsi brownish-black (Fig. 58); wings hyaline (with brown infumation in some specimens); head in frontal view higher than wide, with dense pubescence below level of eyes (Fig. 59); scrobe transversely rugose, not reaching median ocellus (Fig. 59); scape slightly swollen at base (Fig. 59); mesosoma polished with widely spaced setigerous pits (Fig. 61); scutellum rounded apically; propodeum with distinct submedian, sublateral and accessorial carinae (Fig. 61); metafemur with massive basal tooth followed by long comb of serrulation (Fig. 60); metasoma with Gt 1 shagreened, without basal carinae; laterally densely pubescent (Fig. 61). Female with long slender antenna; male antenna stouter with a characteristic dent on scape and more densely pubescent body than that of female.
