Material examined
Holotype: Female ( BMNH): South Africa, Salisbury, Mashonaland, I-1902, G.A.K. Marshall.
Description
Female: Length of body 17 mm, of fore wing 16 mm, of ovipositor 11 mm.
Antennae with more than 97 (apex broken) flagellomeres. Height of clypeus:intertentorial distance:tentorio-ocular distance51.0:2.6:2.3. Width of face:width of head:height of eye51.3:2.2:1.0. Height of face:width of face51.0:1.8. Sculpture on face punctate to punctulate. Clypeus rugose. Frons weakly depressed, smooth, with medial longitudal groove. POL:transverse diameter of posterior ocellus:shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye51.0:1.0:3.0. Length of eye in dorsal view:distance of occiput and posterior margin of eye51.4:1.0.
Mesosoma approximately 1.6 times longer than maximally deep.
Fore wing: length of veins r:3-SR:SR151.0:1.6:3.6. Length of veins 2-SR:3-SR:r-m5 1.0:2.0:1.1. Length of veins m-cu:2-M51.0:2.6. Length of veins 1-CU1:2-CU151.0:5.1. 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:tarsus52.3:2.6:1.0. Fore basitarsus 4.4 times longer than deep. Length of hind femur:tibia:tarsus52.3:3.1:1.0. Hind basitarsus 5.7 times longer than deep.
First metasomal tergite 1.4 times longer than wide; raised median area anteriorly smooth with a medial longitudinal groove, postero-laterally strongly strigose. Second tergite 2.1 times wider than long; medial area raised and strongly strigose, area posterior to anteromedial triangle rugose. Antero-medial triangular area raised, anterior part smooth and posterior strigated. Third tergite 2.3 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 median area weakly reticulate. Tergites six to eight smooth.
Orange-brown except for the following which are black: antenna, diamond-shaped area around stemmaticum, apex of mandibles and ovipositor sheets. Wings darkened, with weakly paler area below pterostigma in fore wing and the base of the marginal cell in hind wing.
