Description

provided by Journal of Hymenoptera Research
Female. Length, 6.0 mm. Black with anterior edge of labrum and mouthparts dull white; scape and pedicel white at apices; tegula and postspiracular sclerite white; apical third of mesoscutellum white. Legs with trochanters white; foreleg white with coxa and inner surface of femur black; midleg with coxa black, trochanter white, femur black, tibia white on basal three-fourths, brown on apical fourth, tarsus with basitarsomeres white to brown with remaining tarsomeres black; hind leg with coxa black, trochanter and base of femur white, basal two-fifths of tibia white, apical three-fifths of tibia and entire tarsus black. Abdomen black. Wings hyaline; veins and stigma black. Head smooth, shiny, without punctures; head and body densely covered with fine white pubescence. Antennal length 3.7× head width; 3rd antennomere equal to length of 4th antennomere. Malar space about half diameter of front ocellus. Distance between eye and hind ocellus about 0.8× distance between hind ocelli. Postocellar area 3.0× broader than long. Lower interocular distance slightly longer than eye height. Forewing with intercostal crossvein absent; with 3 cubital cells. Pulvilli minute, on tarsomeres 1–4. Tarsal claws with small inner tooth, about half length of outer tooth. Hind basitarsomere subequal to or very slightly shorter than length of remaining tarsomeres combined; hind tibial spur about 0.4× length of hind basitarsomere and equal to width of inner hind tibia at apex. Sheath broadened at apex, with distinct lateral scopae (similar to Benson 1958, fig. 414). Lancet (Fig. 23) with about 19 serrulae, serrulae on basal half rounded, those on apical half becoming flat, with very fine subbasal teeth; annuli straight but basal 3 or 4 slanted forward, each with very narrow band of fine hairs less than half width of segments. Male. Length, 5.0 mm. Similar to female except malar space narrower, almost linear, about ¼ width of front ocellus and postocellar area about 2.2× broader than long. Genitalia in Figs 30, 31; penis valve oval, dorsal and ventral margins rounded, with a short, small valvispina directed vertically near center of valve.
