Diagnosis: Female. Body mostly dark brown to black and smooth, as described by Erdös (1954); scape slightly lighter than pedicel or flagellum, coxae pale (mostly laterally) to dark brown (dorsally), 3 basal tarsomeres brown, petiole light brown dorsally and whitish laterally. Antenna ( Fig. 31 ) with scape about 4 x as long as wide, slightly dilated in basal half, pedicel much longer than wide, F1 shorter and narrower than F2 and apparently without sensilla, F2 with 1 sensillum; clava entire, not 3-segmented as mistakenly indicated in the original description by Erdös (1954) who had only dry-mounted specimens available to him, with several short longitudinal sensilla. Forewing ( Fig. 32 ) about 3.5 x as long as wide; longest marginal setae about 2/5 maximal width of forewing; disc notably infuscated behind marginal vein (its distal half only) and also behind and shortly beyond stigmal vein, bare basally and with numerous short setae scattered in distal half; postmarginal vein about as long as stigmal vein. Coxae partially with cellulate sculpture. Ovipositor short, not exserted, occupying about 0.7 x length of gaster, ovipositor length/metatibia length ratio about 1.1:1.

Male. Similar to female but antenna, legs, and petiole a little darker and infuscation of forewing disc considerably less pronounced. Antenna ( Fig. 33 ) with 3-segmented funicle; clava solid, with apical spicula.

Hosts: Unknown.

Comments: Minor differences in the colouration of the holotype of T. albicoxis are within the variation range of E. carbonaria , hence the above synonymy.
