FEMALE (n=16): Length= 0.58–0.80 mm (m=0.68, SD =0.06).

Dark to light brown; radicle, A1 proximally, A2 distally, legs and metasoma lighter than head and mesosoma.

FCI =1.27–1.30 (m=1.29, SD =0.01); LCI =1.54–1.56 (m=1.54, SD =0.01); HW/IOS =1.56–1.60 (m=1.57, SD =0.01); head less than 1.5 times as wide as mesosoma (HW/TSL = 1.27–1.47, m=1.34, SD =0.05); facial striae not reaching midlevel of eye, exceeding frontal patch; frontal patch distinct; frons setae sparse, thin; central keel incomplete, sometimes reaching eye midlevel; POL less than 1.5 times as long as OOL (POL/ OOL =1.33–1.44, m=1.40, SD =0.05); OOL longer than LOL (OOL/LOL =1.28–1.31, m=0.95, SD =0.08); hyperoccipital carina absent, vertex entirely reticulate, vertex sculpture extending to interocellar area, not extending anteriorly to frons, not merging with genal patch; A1 less than 5.0 times as long as radicle (A1/r =3– 3.37, m=3.19, SD =0.14), length almost equal to clava (A1/cl =0.82–0.93, m=0.87, SD =0.03).

Epomial carina absent, cervical pronotal area smooth, with sparse setae; lateral pronotal area smooth with few crenulae above pronotal ventral projection; netrion sulcus complete; netrion striation not extending onto lateral pronotal area; pronotal suprahumeral and cervical sulci not foveolate; mesoscutum about 1.5 times as wide as long (TSL/ML =1.59–1.64, m=1.62, SD =0.03); notaulus elongate, almost reaching anterior margin of mesoscutum, distance between posterior end of notauli nearly equal to the distance between posterior end of notaulus and posterolateral edge of mesoscutum; reticulate sculpture of mesoscutum not extending to lateral notaular area, internotaular area smooth basally; mesoscutellum about than 2.0 times as wide as long (SW/ SL =2.00–2.27, m=2.14, SD =0.11); scuto-scutellar sulcus strongly reduced medially, 5–6 times as wide laterally as in the middle; mesoscutellum smooth, with sparse, long marginal setae; posterior scutellar sulcus not extending onto axillula; sternaulus not separated from anterior row of foveae of mesopleural carina; mesopleural carina incomplete; sulcus along metapleural carina foveolate; metascutellum entirely striated, triangular, without lamella apically; propodeal lateral carinae inverted V-shaped, shafts straight; propodeal lateral and plical areas with few, marginal setae; marginal striation usually not extending medially, in some African specimens both areas entirely striated; posterior propodeal projection indistinct; mesoscutum distinctly wider than fore wing (TSL/WW =1.21–1.42, m=1.27, SD =0.05); marginal vein less than 4 times as long as stigmal vein (m/st =3.27–3.5, m=3.30, SD =0.07); hind wing slightly wider than marginal ciliae length (HWW/HWS = 1.15–1.2 m =1.18, SD =0.02).

MALE (n=21): length=0.61–0.79 (m=0.69, SD =0.06); FCI =1.26–1.36, m=1.32, SD =0.02); LCI =1.34– 1.51, m=1.45, SD =0.06); HW/IOS =1.5–1.65 (m=1.58, SD =0.05); HW/TSL =1.28–1.37 (m=1.32, SD =0.02); facial striae exceeding eye midlevel; POL/OOL =1.2–1.4, m=1.26, SD =0.09); OOL/LOL =1.42–1.66 (m=1.64, SD =0.06); A1/r =2.33–2.75 (m=2.51, SD =0.11); TSL/ML =1.56–1.66 (m=1.60, SD =0.04); SW/ SL =1.92–2.27 (m=2.07, SD =0.15); TSL/WW =1.16–1.35 (m=1.21, SD =0.05); m/st =4.0–4.60 (m=4.33, SD =0.05); HWW/HWS =1.0–1.07 (m=1.03, SD =0.03); T1W/T1+T2L =1.50–1.76, (m=1.64, SD =0.06); T3W/TSL =1.0–1.20(m=1.12, SD =0.06).

Diagnosis. Most closely related to X. ergenna , differing by POL/OOL, extension of vertex sculpture to interocellar area, absence of sharp hyperoccipital carina; more strongly diverging notauli; narrower hind and fore wings, length and angle of stigmal vein, longer marginal ciliae on hind wing.
