F e m a l e

F l a g e l l u m: Slender, long, bristle-shaped, with 45 segments, with white annulus on segments (8)9-12, beyond white annulus slightly flattened ventrally; first segment only 2,3 times longer than width at apex; segments of flagellum separated (differentiated) slightly. Flagellum slightly shorter than the front wing and 1,3 times shorter than body length.

H e a d: Head contour from front slightly narrowed downwards, genae from front long, 3,5 times shorter than height of eye; head width 1,3 times wider than height; head massive, from above 1,7 times wider than length. Vertex from lateral gradually slanting down to occipital carina; temples behind eyes from above long, very slightly and roundly narrowed behind eyes, 1,3 times longer than longitudinal diameter of an eye at the middle, from side slightly narrowed toward mandible base; occipital carina high, sharp, from above strongly roundly impressed, but far not reach level of eyes and hind ocelli; hypostomal carina not visible from lateral, meeting with occipital carina not far from mandible base; malar space equal to mandible base width; mandibles strongly curved at the middle almost at right angle, teeth large, upper tooth slightly longer than lower, situated in the same plane; clypeus very slightly convex, practically flat, approximately 2 times wider than height, separated from middle field of face by broad impression, with uniformly rounded front margin; clypeal foveae small but sharp; labrum not protrude from under clypeus; middle field of face moderately elevated above lateral fields, equal to lateral fields by width; antennal cavities extremely deeply impressed, reach front ocellus level and borders of eyes, with small interantennal tooth and without lateral tubercles; ocelli of normal size, diameter of lateral ocellus 1,4 times less than distance from ocellus to eye; ocellar triangle limited by distinct impressions. Surface of head punctured by big punctures with longitudinally-wrinkled middle field of face, without microsculpture.

T h o r a x: Collar of pronotum moderately long with straight front margin (from above); transverse furrow of pronotum deep, not interrupted by keel, only with transversal ribs; pronotal base gradually curved with acute apex. Mesonotum slightly convex, slightly longer than width; notauli only as slight impressions at base; surface of mesonotum with big irregular punctures, matt, dull; lateral margin of mesonotum above tegulae elevated; axillary tongue not developed; subalarum high, thin, sharpened; speculum and middle part of mesopleurae not sculptured, smooth, polished; area of mesopleural fovea broadly, but moderately impressed; mesopleural suture straight, interrupted by strong transversal ribs; border between vertical and horizontal parts of mesopleurae sharp; sternauli practically absent, only at base in form of broad slight impression; upper and lower parts of meso- pleurae longitudinally-wrinkled with shallow punctures, without microsculpture; scutellum high elevated with knoll on horizontal part (conical), from lateral triangle, carinated laterally by high carinae up to apex (carinae reach postscutellum), horizontal part with big punctures. Hind margin of metanotum with small triangle projections opposite lateral longitudinal carinae. Propodeum from lateral of broken outline, rather long, length of horizontal part approximately equal to length of area posteromedia in middle; areas of propodeum expressed, but not distinct because of general roughly-wrinkled, cellular sculpture of surface; basal area short and deep; area superomedia of indistinct variable hexagonal forms, from sharply narrowed backwards to oval, costulae at middle of area superomedia; area dentipara without tooth at apex; spiracles long, slit-shaped; coxal carina only just marked. Horizontal part of propodeum cellular; surface of metapleurae very densely punctured by big punctures to wrinkled.

L e g s: Long and very slender, hind femora narrow; hind coxae without scopa. Claws long, thin, smooth, gradually uniformly curved and not widened at base.

W i n g s: Areolet usually petiolate, asymmetrical, rarely to pentagonal with very narrow base, external veins longer than internal; stigma narrow and dark, radial cell narrow and long, radius straight on considerable extent (except apex and base); nervulus postfurcal; ramulus long; all veins of hind wing pigmented. Length of front wing 1,3 times shorter than body length.

A b d o m e n: Amblypygous, from above long, parallel sided, seventh tergite sharpened, long. First tergite from lateral almost straight, with very narrow petiolus at base, from lateral smooth, without traces of lateral carinae and any sculpture; from above petiolus sharply broadened to postpetiolus; distance between spiracles many more than distance from spiracles to hind margin of tergite; middle field only just marked and not limited by dorsal carinae; its surface from irregularly longitudinally-wrinkled, rarely to completely smooth, polished. Gastrocoeli large, very deep, slightly oblique; thyridia distinct, approached to base of second tergite and reach to borders of tergite, 1,6-2 times wider than interval between them; lunulae practically not expressed; interspace between gastrocoeli and surface of second tergite to middle and more, usually longitudinallywrinkled, rarely with smoothed sculpture, without rugosity, other part of second tergite and third completely with delicate dense punctures without microsculpture, other tergites with only just visible superficial punctures or completely smooth, shining; seventh tergite very long. Hypopygium from lateral triangle with acute apex, without longitudinal fold; second sternite broadly unsclerotized in middle, other sternites without longitudinal fold.

C o l o r a t i o n: Black with very slight violet tint with white or yellowish spots at corners of pronotum, on horizontal surface of scutellum, hind margin of first tergite or spots at hind corners, white membranous apex of tergites 4-6, long longitudinal spot on tergite 7. Legs mainly black with white or yellowish stripe along front margin of front femora, tibiae and tarsi, apex of middle femora and strip along front margin of tibiae and base of hind tibiae.

S i z e: Body length: 18,0; flagellum: 14,0; front wing: 14,2 mm.

M a l e

Males with similar coloration but with more reach white pattern: internal orbits, clypeus, with exception of middle, large spots on genae and mandibles and subalarum. Legs with more reach white pattern. Petiolus from lateral with only just visible slightly developed dorsolateral carinae. Segments of males flagellum with transversal ribs, with only just visible bacilliform tyloides and more short first segment; flagellum without white annulus.
