Second flagellomere 2.1 times as long as wide, tenth flagellomere 1.35 times as long as wide. Pronotum with well developed epomia and sometimes with one or two setae behind it. Posteroventral corner of pronotum with two pits. Setal strip along dorsal edge of pronotum consists of one or two setae. Propodeal sculpture heavily smoothed, sometimes almost absent. Petiole long and thin, with almost erased lateral wrinkles and noticeable dorsal depression ( Fig. 15). Ventral face of petiole with one strong transverse ridge at base. Ovipositor sheath short, approx. 0.5 times as long as hind tibia, with longitudinal striation ( Fig. 20). Male. Forewing 2.9–4.0 mm long. Gena short, 0.4 times as long as shortest diameter of eye. Clypeus 3 times as long as wide. Second flagellomere 3.5 times as long as wide. Tyloids poorly distinct. Setal strip along dorsal edge of pronotum consists of 3–5 setae. Propodeal sculpture not heavily smoothed, clear. Petiole longer than wide, its ventral face without transverse ridges. Other characters as in female. Distribution: South Africa. This species was described on the basis of a number of females from Magoebaskloof (near Tzaneen), Grahamstown, Karkloof (near Howick), Mpendle, Pietermaritzburg, and Royal Natal National Park ( Townes & Townes 1981). This species is particularly abundant in elevated and forested areas. [320,765,1100,1120] South Africa South Africa 4 241 1 1986-03-06 2004-03-05 1986-03-06 PPRI-NCI, MT, V B.
