D e s c r i p t i o n:

: Body length 5-6 mm. Flagellum slender and filiform, slightly thickened beyond middle, with 25-26 flagellomeres, all longer than wide, first flagellomere (without anellus) 5- 6 times, the second one 3.0-3,5 times as long as wide, preapical flagellomeres slightly longer than wide. Head transverse, almost smooth and strongly shining, temples strongly narrowed behind eyes, lateral ocelli about as long as their distance to the compound eye, epistoma with some scattered superficial puncture, clypeus very large, about 2.7 times as wide as long, its sides lamelliform protuding, the apical margin sharp, with a small median indentation. Malar space about 0.3 times as long as the width of mandibular base, genal carina reaching the hypostomal one far from the mandibular base. Mandibles slen- der, with parallel sides, upper tooth much longer and stronger than the lower one.

Mesosoma with scattered whitish hairs. Pronotum with distinct epomia and a longitudinal keel in the middle, shining, almost smooth, upper margin thickened. Notauli distinct in the frontal 0.2 of mesoscutum. Mesoscutum almost smooth, mesopleura almost smooth in the upper half, with more or less distinct punctures or superficial striation in the lower part. Prepectal carina strong, with transverse ribs, speculum large, smooth and strongly shining, metapleura with scattered punctures, coxal carina strong and with transversal ribs. Scutellum moderately convex, wider than long, without lateral carinae, almost smooth and with longitudinal striation at the apex. Propodeum with complete carination, without distinct apophyses, spiracles roundish. Area superomedia heart-like shaped, transverse, costulae behind the middle, area posteromedia impressed centrally. Coxae with dense but superficial puncture, hind coxa without a scopa. Hind femur about 3.3 times as long as high. All claws with 3-4 strong teeth.

Areolet only slightly narrowed in front, minimal distance of intercubiti about 5-6 times their width, 2m-cu in the middle of areolet. Nervulus of front wing antefurcal, sometimes interstitial.

Metasoma amblypygous. Postpetiole strongly widened to the apex, with more or less distinct dorsal carinae, middle field with irregular wrincles or punctures. Second tergite about 1.4 times as wide as long, gastrocoeli large and strongly impressed, thyridia very large, transverse, each about 2.0-2.5 times as wide as their interval ( fig. 1 ), second tergite with strong longitudinal striation, the third tergite with more or less distinct striation in the basal part. Following tergites almost smooth and shining. Ovipositor sheaths thickened and short, not distinctly protruding beyond the metasomal apex.

Colour black. Ivory are rings or stripes on flagellomeres 7/8-12, palps, mandibles, clypeus and face (sometimes with blackish border and blackish lines between epistoma and facial orbits), orbits almost completely (with two interruptions at malar space and between frontal orbits and vertex), upper margin and lower sides of pronotum, subalar ridge, central spot and upper hind edge of mesopleura, apical 2/3 of scutellum (centrally narrowed), posterolateral spots on postpetiole and tergites 2-3, large central spots on tergites 6-7 (rarely tergite 5 with small spot). Scapus reddish or yellowish beneath, front and middle coxae and trochanters yellowish. Legs otherwise reddish, hind coxa sometimes slightly darkened, hind femur and tibia blackish at their apices, hind tibia sometimes yellowish-red, hind tarsi blackish. Pterostigma brown.

: Body length 4.5-5 mm. Flagellum with 25-27 flagellomeres, tyloids on flagellomeres 9/10-14, oval, maximally 0,5 times as long as their segment. Mesoscutum and mesopleura in the upper half with more or less distinct but scattered puncture. Structural features otherwise similar to the female.

Colour: Flagellum black, scapus yellowish beneath, tergite 6 without ivory spot, at most with narrow ivory hind margin, parameres ivory, coloration otherwise as in the female.
