Diagnosis.

Trichoteleia may be distinguished from other genera of Scelioninae by the combination of the following characters: eyes setose; facial striae absent between orbital carina and interantennal process, R1 (postmarginal vein) as long as r (stigmal vein) or longer; metascutellum bifid to bispinose, setose; lateral T1 and S2 with patches of dense fine setae.

Comments.

The species of Trichoteleia exhibit remarkable diversity in size, patterns of sculpture and color, and relative proportions of the body. The variety of sizes and shapes found in this genus suggest a corresponding diversity of host species. No host has been recorded, but the species of Trichoteleia are suspected to parasitize the eggs of ground crickets (Gryllidae). This assumption is based on the putative relation of this genus to Paridris, which has one documented host association with Gryllus pennsylvanicus Burmeister (label data of a specimen in the USNM reported by Masner and Muesebeck, 1968).

The shape of the metascutellum is particularly plastic. It may be present as two large spines (Fig. 19), an apically bispinose plate (Fig. 20), or a narrow strip that is notched medially (Fig. 21). The setation of the metascutellum is always present and is thus a more unambiguously interpreted character for generic identification. Within Platygastroidea, such setation is rare, and is otherwise known to the authors only in Chromoteleia Ashmead, Romilius Walker, one species of Paridris Kieffer, one species of Triteleia Kieffer and two species in the subfamily Teleasinae.
