Description
Female: Length of body 19 mm, of fore wing 16 mm, of ovipositor 24 mm.
Antennae with 126 flagellomeres. Terminal flagellomere 2.2 times longer than wide, acuminate. Height of clypeus:inter-tentorial distance:tentorio-ocular distance51.0:4.2:3.2. Width of face:width of head:height of eye51.0:2.0:1.0. Height of face:width of face51.0:1.8. Sculpture on face punctate; on clypeus punctate reticulate to rugose. Frons depressed, smooth, with medial longitudal groove. POL:transverse diameter of posterior ocellus:shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye51.0:1.2:3.3. Length of eye in dorsal view:distance of occiput and posterior margin of eye51.9:1.0.
Mesosoma approximately 1.7 times longer than maximally deep.
Fore wing: length of veins r:3-SR:SR151.0:2.4:3.4. Length of veins 2-SR:3-SR:rm51.0:2.4:1.4. Length of veins m-cu:2-M51.0:3.0. Length of veins 1-CU1:2- CU151.0:6.0. Shape of vein 1-SR+M weak S-shaped, almost straight. Swelling in vein 3-CU1 1.2 times thicker than the other part of the vein.
Legs: Length of fore femur:tibia:tarsus52.1:2.4:1.0. Fore basitarsus 4.4 times longer than deep. Length of hind femur:tibia:tarsus51.7:2.6:1.0. Hind basitarsus 5.7 times longer than deep.
First metasomal tergite 1.6 times longer than wide; raised median area smooth, with small striae on posterior margin, sometimes very few. Second tergite 1.4 times wider than long; antero-medial triangular area raised and smooth, sometimes with weak ridges around it. Third tergite 2.0 times wider than long; with weakly strigated transverse furrows on anterior but not on posterior margin, raised median area very smooth. Antero-lateral areas raised and also smooth. Tergites four and five similar, but five without antero-lateral raised areas. Tergites six to eight smooth.
Orange-brown except for following which are black: head excluding labrum, antennae and ovipositor sheets. Wings fairly evenly weakly darkened, darkest areas around cells 1R1 and 1M. Hyaline zone in fore wing below pterostigma. Apical end of pterostigma darkened (about one fifth of the total length). Hind wing darkened postero-apically.
