Description
Female: Length of body 17 mm, of fore wing 15 mm, of ovipositor 16 mm.
Antennae with 108 flagellomeres, terminal flagellomere 3.0 times longer than wide. Height of clypeus:inter-tentorial distance:tentorio-ocular distance51.0:4.1:3.6. Width of face:width of head:height of eye51.1:2.0:1.0. Height of face:width of face51.0:1.7. Sculpture on face punctate with punctulation. Clypeus rugose. Frons depressed, smooth, with medial longitudal groove. POL:transverse diameter of posterior ocellus:shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye51.1:1.0:2.8. Length of eye in dorsal view:distance of occiput and posterior margin of eye51.6:1.0.
Mesosoma approximately 1.7 times longer than maximally deep.
Fore wing: length of veins r:3-SR:SR151.0:2.5:4.5. Length of veins 2-SR:3-SR:rm51.0:1.9:1.1. Length of veins m-cu:2-M51.0:3.0. Length of veins 1-CU1:2- CU151.0:6.1. Shape of vein 1-SR+M straight. Swelling in vein 3-CU1 1.2 times thicker than the other part of the vein.
Legs: Length of fore femur:tibia:tarsus52.0:2.2:1.0. Fore basitarsus 4.8 times longer than deep. Length of hind femur:tibia:tarsus51.9:3.0:1.0. Hind basitarsus 6.3 times longer than deep.
First metasomal tergite 1.5 times longer than wide; raised median area smooth with median longitudinal groove, posterior margin strigated. Second tergite 1.8 times wider than long; medial area raised and strigose. Antero-medial triangular area raised and smooth. Third tergite 2.2 times wider than long; with strigated transverse furrows on anterior and subposterior margins, raised median area strigated, antero-lateral areas smooth. Tergites four and five with strigated transverse furrows on anterior and subposterior margins, antero-lateral areas smooth. Raised median area in tergite four reticulate to rugose, in tergite five smooth. Tergites six to eight smooth.
Yellow except for the following which are black: antenna, area around stemmaticum, apex of mandibles and ovipositor sheets. Apical third to quarter of pterostigma darkened.
