Diagnosis. Hind slope of vertex and occipital area widely black; face densely, coarsely punctate; wings with infuscate margin; metasomal tergites each with two black spots; ovipositor sheath 0.25x hind tibia.

Distribution. Townes & Chiu (1970) previously recorded this species from Lai Chau Province (North Vietnam). Outside Vietnam, this species has been recorded from India, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines and Taiwan ( Yu et al. 2005).
