Enizemum schwarzi Diller 1987

Diagnosis. Fore wing length 5.3–5.8 mm in females, 4.7 mm in males. Antenna in females light orange, with 23–24 flagellomeres, with multiporous plate sensilla also present on ventral surface of the apical flagellomeres, although less densely distributed than dorsally; in males with linear, narrow tyloids on flagellomeres 7 to 14. Mesoscutum and mesopleuron with punctures large, separated by less than their diameter, interspaces smooth and shining. Propodeum with pleural and lateral longitudinal carinae present, median longitudinal and transverse carinae absent or present only as traces. First tergite with median dorsal carinae converging over basal half, forming a blunt angle and subparallel on apical half of the tergite, although this character is somewhat intermediate between E. ornatum ( Fig. 14 E) and E. nigricorne ( Fig. 14 F). Second tergite with basal carinae strong.

Colouration of females. Antenna bright orange, apically often somewhat dark. Head black, face often with a small yellow central face patch, clypeus usually dark orange, mouthparts somewhat paler; mesosoma mostly orange, black along sutures and on most of pronotum, yellow-marked on hind corner of pronotum, tegula, subtegular ridge, small shoulder mark and upper mesepimeron; scutellum orange with yellow margins. Legs and coxae orange; femora orange; hind tibia with a white base, remainder dark, hind tarsus dark. Metasoma orange with varying black parts.

Colouration of males. As in females but with yellow ventrally on scape and pedicel, entire face, large part of hind corner of pronotum, propleuron, entire epicnemium, sometimes part of mesosternum and mesopleuron ventrally. Fore and mid coxae and hind trochanter yellow. Hind tibia with basal white marking extended to about half the length of the tibia.
