Description
Female: Length of body 19 mm, of fore wing 16 mm, of ovipositor 17 mm.
Antennae with 74 (apex broken) flagellomeres. Height of clypeus:inter-tentorial distance:tentorio-ocular distance51.0:5.6:4.7. Width of face:width of head:height of eye51.1:2.0:1.0. Height of face:width of face51.0:2.4. Sculpture on face pustulate with punctulation. Clypeus rugose. Frons weakly depressed, smooth, with medial longitudal groove. POL:transverse diameter of posterior ocellus:shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye51.5:1.0:3.7. Length of eye in dorsal view:distance of occiput and posterior margin of eye52.0:1.0.
Mesosoma approximately 1.8 times longer than maximally deep
Fore wing: length of veins r:3-SR:SR151.0:2.7:4.5. Length of veins 2-SR:3-SR:rm51.0:2.2:1.2. Length of veins m-cu:2-M51.0:2.3. Length of veins 1-CU1:2- CU151.0:3.5. Shape of vein 1-SR+M straight. Swelling in vein 3-CU1 1.4 times thicker than the other part of the vein.
Legs: Length of fore femur:tibia:tarsus52.1:2.4:1.0. Fore basitarsus 4.6 times longer than deep. Length of hind femur:tibia:tarsus52.2:3.2:1.0. Hind basitarsus 4.0 times longer than deep.
First metasomal tergite 1.7 times longer than wide; raised median with medial longitudinal groove. Posterior margin strigated. Second tergite 1.8 times wider than long; medial area raised and sparsely strigose to reticulate. Antero-medial triangular area raised and smooth. Third tergite 2.0 times wider than long; with strigated transverse furrows on anterior and subposterior margins, raised median area strigated, antero-lateral areas smooth and raised. Tergites four and five with transverse furrows on anterior and subposterior margins. Both furrows strigated in tergite four, in five only anterior furrow strigated. Smooth and raised antero-lateral areas on both tergites. Tergite four raised median area rugulose, in tergite five smooth. Tergites six to eight smooth, tergite six with strigated transverse furrow on basal margin.
Yellow except for the following which are black: antenna, temples and dorsal side of the head, occiput, apex of mandibles and ovipositor sheets. Wings darkened with hyaline areas in fore wing basally from veins 1-M and cu-a, a transverse zone below pterostigma and around vein r-m; and in hind wing on the base of marginal cell.
