Description.

Holotype, female, body length 6.4 mm, fore wing length 4.5 mm.

Head. Antenna incomplete, with 26 segments remaining; third segment 1.1 times fourth segment (9:8); middle segments 2.4 times longer than wide (6:2.5); width of face as long as length of face and clypeus combined; malar space 0.7 times as long as mandible width (4:6), mandible width 0.75 times as long as hypoclypeal depression (6:8); malar suture present; distance between tentorial pits 3.4 times distance between pits and eyes (17:5; Fig. 32); in dorsal view height of eye 3.3 times as long as temple (13:4); in lateral view width of eye about 3.0 times as long as temple (15:5); ocelli small, POL:Od:OOL = 4:5:3 (Fig. 34); distance between front and hind ocelli as long as OOL; face punctate; face shiny and sparsely punctate; frons, vertex and temple smooth.

Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.32 times as long as high (33:25); pronotal trough mainly crenulate medially, finely granulate ventrally; precoxal sulcus narrow, rather long, crenulate; mesopleuron smooth dorsally, sparsely punctate ventrally (Fig. 33); metapleuron dull; mesoscutum dull because of irregular punctures; scutellar sulcus 0.6 times as long as scutellum (6:10); propodeum mainly rugose laterally and medial areola crenulate.

Wings. Fore wing: pterostigma 4.6 times as long as wide (41:9); r:2-SR:3-SR:SR1 = 8:14:23:37 (Fig. 36); vein r arising submedially from pterostigma; 1-CU1:cu-a:2-CU1:3-CU1 = 3:6:24:4; posterior length of second submarginal cell 2.8 times its apical width (37:13; Fig. 36). Hind wing: vein M+CU:1-M:1r-m = 31:26:10 (Fig. 37).

Legs. Hind coxa with sparse fine punctures; length of hind femur:tibia:basitarsus:tarsus = 57:74:35:87; length of hind femur, tibia and basitarsus 6.3, 9.3 and 11.7 times their width, respectively; inner hind tibial spur 0.3 times as long as basitarsus (10:35).

Metasoma. First tergite 1.3 times as long as apical width (35:27); medial length of second tergite 1.6 times third (31:19) (Fig. 6); second suture crenulate; third metasomal tergites obliquely striate, striation diverging posteriorly; fourth-sixth metasomal tergites obliquely striate basally, rugose-punctate apically; ovipositor sheath 0.7 times as long as hind basitarsus (23:35), ovipositor weakly curved and slender (Fig. 35).

Colour. Yellow; antenna and palpi yellow; stemmaticum dark brown; propodeum brown laterally; all legs yellow, but telotarsi brown; all metasomal tergites yellow, but first-second tergites basally and sixth tergite brown and hypopygium somewhat infuscate (Fig. 35); wings subhyaline.

Male.

Unknown.

Variation.

Antennal segments 52(1); first tergite 1.3-1.4 times as long as apical width; medial length of metasomal second tergite 1.5-1.7 times as long as third tergite medially; body length 6.0-7.5 mm; fore wing length 4.3-5.0 mm.

Etymology.

Named after its type locality: the province of Hoa Binh.
