Holotype: Female ( BMNH): Tanzania, Tanganyika T., Maagaa, E. of Singida, X–XII- 1935, E. Burtt.
Description
Female: Length of body 17 mm, of fore wing 16 mm, of ovipositor 16 mm.
Antennae with 103 flagellomeres, terminal flagellomere 1.8 times longer than wide. Height of clypeus:inter-tentorial distance:tentorio-ocular distance51.0:3.3:3.5. Width of face:width of head:height of eye51.2:2.1:1.0. Height of face:width of face51.0:1.8. Sculpture on face punctate to punctulate. Clypeus rugose. Frons depressed, smooth, with medial longitudal groove. POL:transverse diameter of posterior ocellus:shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye51.0:1.1:3.3. Length of eye in dorsal view:distance of occiput and posterior margin of eye51.3:1.0.
Mesosoma approximately 1.6 times longer than maximally deep.
Fore wing: length of veins r:3-SR:SR151.0:2.1:3.2. Length of veins 2-SR:3-SR:rm51.0:1.9:1.4. Length of veins m-cu:2-M51.0:2.6. Length of veins 1-CU1:2- CU151.0:4.6. Shape of vein 1-SR+M straight, but weakly curved towards posterior margin close to vein 1-M. Swelling in vein 3-CU1 1.5 times thicker than the other part of the vein.
Legs: Length of fore femur:tibia:tarsus51.8:2.1:1.0. Fore basitarsus 5.2 times longer than deep. Length of hind femur:tibia:tarsus52.3:3.3:1.0. Hind basitarsus 5.3 times longer than deep.
First metasomal tergite 1.6 times longer than wide; raised median area anteriorly smooth with a medial longitudinal groove, postero-laterally strigose. Second tergite 2.1 times wider than long; medial and antero-medial triangular areas raised and strongly strigose. Third tergite 2.2 times wider than long; with strigated transverse furrows on anterior and subposterior margins, raised median area strongly strigated, antero-lateral areas smooth. Tergites four and five similar to three, but tergite five raised medial area smooth. Tergites six to eight smooth.
Yellow except for the following which are black: antenna, partly frons and area around stemmaticum, apex of mandibles and ovipositor sheets. Hair on antennae whitish-yellow. Wings weakly darkened with paler areas in fore wing below pterostigma and in hind wing in the base on the marginal cell.
