TL;DR: A diagnosis is given for the vespoid genus Stenogaster Guerin, now considered to be restricted to New Guinea and some adjacent islands, and the canaliculata species-group is distinguished by the considerably lengthened glossa and paraglossae.
Abstract: A diagnosis is given for the vespoid genus Stenogaster Guerin, now considered to be restricted to New Guinea and some adjacent islands. Illustrated keys and descriptions are presented for 11 species, arranged in 2 groups: (1) fulgipennis species-group with fulgipennis Guerin (N.G.), unicolor (Smith) (Waigeu), adusta sp. n. (Misool and N.G.), decorata sp. n. (Misool and Japen), licina and concinna spp. n. (N.G.); (2) canaliculata species-group with canaliculata (Cameron) (N.G.), flavifrons sp. n. (Japen), glabra, pilosa and macilenta spp. n. (N.G.). The canaliculata species-group is distinguished by the considerably lengthened glossa and paraglossae, and segment 2 of the maxillary palpi and segment 1 of the labial palpi are also unusually long.
