The original description only stated that ‘Coxae [are] mostly smooth’ (Triapitsyn and Berezovskiy 2007, p. 32). However, when the holotype of <i>A. orchidea</i> was re-examined by the third author, the following can be added to the original description of <i>A. orchidea</i>: metacoxa partially with a weak reticulate sculpture (Figure 7f).</p>Published as part of <i>Manickavasagam, Sagadai, Palanivel, Selvaraj & Triapitsyn, Serguei V., 2017, Two new species and additional distributional records of Acmopolynema Ogloblin (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) from India, pp. 1971-1987 in Journal of Natural History (J.
