44366A6EFF9FFFF8FF745E2CA24BFA9A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Thorax completely dark; in forewing, a light yellow cell C; with a white base of pterostigma on both sides of junction with vein 1 r-rs; a darkened zone covering cells 1 R 1, 1 M, and part of 2 Cu. Descriptions. Holotype IF-STR- 0101 (Fig. 1 A). Forewing ca. 16.0 mm long, 3.0 mm wide; 2 rs-m present, ending in cell 2 M; 1 cu – a not aligned with 1 M, joining Cu in basal fourth between 1 m – cu and 1 M; 1 M not markedly curved; 3 A absent; 3 R 1 approximately 5 × as long as wide; Cu 1 absent; 1 r-rs clearly longer than wide; 1 Rs 2 clearly longer than wide; 2 r-rs joining pterostigma near middle; pterostigma gradually attenuated distal to junction with 2 r-rs; 3 rs-m well distad 2 m-cu; base of pterostigma white on both sides of junction with 1 r-rs; a darkened zone covering cells 1 R 1, 1 M, and part of 2 Cu. Paratype IF-STR- 0102 (Fig. 1 B). Preserved part of forewing 12.0 mm long, 3.0 mm wide; venation and pattern of coloration identical to those of the holotype. Paratype IF-STR- 0103 (Fig. 2). Body completely black without yellow zone on thorax; head 2.0 mm long; thorax 4.5 mm long; abdomen 12.0 mm long, ovipositor mm long; forewing 11.8 mm long, 2.8 mm wide; forewing venation and pattern of coloration identical to those of two other specimens.

Zootaxa 5538 (2): 194-200, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5538.2.6, URL: https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5538.2.6
44366A6EFF9FFFF8FF745E2CA24BFA9A.taxon	discussion	Remark. These fossils have forewings with nearly the same dimensions and the same coloration pattern and are therefore attributed to the same species.	en	Boderau, Mathieu, Engel, Michael S., Jouault, Corentin, Nel, André (2024): A horntail wasp from the Upper Miocene of France closely related to an extant Eastern Palaearctic species (Hymenoptera: Siricidae).
