Description. Holotype, ♀, length of body 8.4 mm, of fore wing 6.3 mm, of ovipositor sheath 7.7 mm. Head. Antennal segments 40; length of third segment 1.2 times fourth segment, length of third, fourth and penultimate segments 2.8, 3.0 and 2.0 times their width, respectively; length of apical segment twice as long as penultimate segment; maxillary palp 0.7 times height of head; malar space 2.7 times as long as basal width of mandible; in dorsal view length of eye 2.7 times temple; temples parallel-sided (Fig. 206); POL:OD:OOL = 6:4:11; face moderately densely punctate (Fig. 205), with distinct smooth interspaces; clypeus largely smooth, with some spaced fine punctures; frons flattened and smooth; vertex and temple shiny and mainly smooth. Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.5 times its height; subpronope large and shallow and epomial carina strongly developed; pronotum largely smooth with distinct punctures and strong setae dorsally; prepectal carina rather wide lamelliform; area near lateral carina of mesoscutum crenulate; middle lobe of mesoscutum densely finely punctate, but apically spaced punctate as lateral lobes; notauli deep and finely crenulate anteriorly, posteriorly smooth, united and forming a shallow groove (Fig. 200); scutellar sulcus 0.6 times as long as dorsal face of scutellum, with 3 carinae; scutellum somewhat convex, spaced punctate, its subposterior crest curved and distinct and its medio-posterior depression transverse, concave posteriorly, comparatively large and with a minute carina; precoxal sulcus narrowly crenulate and anteriorly absent (Fig. 199); mesopleuron below precoxal sulcus with moderately and spaced punctate; mesopleuron above precoxal sulcus shiny and smooth medially, coarsely punctate postero-ventrally; metapleuron rather densely coarsely punctate, but rugose ventrally; propodeum coarsely transversely rugose medially, anteriorly and posteriorly largely smooth except for narrow median area (Fig. 200); short median carina connected to elongate areola; propodeal spiracle medium-sized, 1.4 times as long as wide. Wings. Fore wing: second submarginal cell triangular, rather large and narrowly petiolate (Fig. 202); vein SR1 straight; r:3-SR+SR1 = 1:17; apical half of subbasal cell sparsely setose. Hind wing: vein M+CU 0.6 times as long as vein 1-M; no distinct vein 2-M; plical lobe large and glabrous, except for a few lateral setae. Legs. Length of hind femur, tibia and basitarsus 3.5, 6.5 and 10.5 times their width, respectively; hind femur (as remainder of legs) with short setae; length of outer and inner spur of middle tibia 0.45 and 0.55 times middle basitarsus, respectively; outer side of middle tibia with row of 5 pegs; length of outer and inner spur of hind tibia 0.4 and 0.6 times hind basitarsus, respectively; outer side of hind tibia with cluster of 10 pegs; outer side of hind coxa with sparse fine punctures; outer side of hind femur rugose-punctate. Metasoma. First tergite subparallel-sided, 1.9 times as long as its apical width (Fig. 201); dorsal carinae absent, finely and densely longitudinally striate, apically with sparse fine punctures and partly smooth; second tergite subparallel-sided, shiny, smooth but with a wide elongate punctate transverse depression, 1.1 times as long as its apical width and 1.3 times its basal width (Fig. 201); third tergite without a transverse groove and about 1.1 times as long as its basal width; ovipositor sheath 1.23 times as long as fore wing. Colour. Black or blackish-brown; head, palpi, pronotum, propleuron, mesoscutum (except dark brown patch latero-posteriorly), scutellum, tegula, mesopleuron antero-dorsally, fore and middle legs (but middle coxa, trochanter, trochantellus and base of femur brown) brownish-yellow to pale yellow (e.g., mesoscutum laterally and medio-posteriorly, respectively); apical half of metasoma dark brown, but hypopygium narrowly ivory apically and medially; middle and hind tibial spurs, first and second tergites narrowly dorsally, and ventral half of metasoma white; hind tibia (but basally blackish), hind tarsus, pterostigma and veins dark brown; wing membrane subhyaline, but apical half slightly infuscate.
