Female. Not examined. From data provided by Cresson (1865) and Alayo and Tzankov (1974), the following diagnosis can be formulated: Fore wing 5–6 mm long. Ventral tooth of mandible distinct; clypeus somewhat convex, anterior area medially almost straight; antenna sparsely pilose; supra-antennal area with slight median line. Epicnemial carina complete; sternaulus strong; mesoscutum shiny, impunctate; notaulus deeply impressed and almost parallel. Anterior area of propodeum not punctate, slightly rugulose; spiracle elliptic; anterior transverse carina medially straight posterior area with transverse wrinkles; posterior transverse carina represented by very weak sublateral crests. Fore wing vein 1cu-a meeting M+Cu basad to 1M+Rs; cell 1+2Rs small, crossvein 3r-m absent. Hind wing vein Cua longer than 1cu-a. Spiracle of T1 slightly prominent; ovipositor slightly more than 0.5 × as long as metasoma.

Color. Head, meso– and metasoma black with whitish marks. Scape ventrally whitish; flagellum black, f6–16 white. Mesoscutum with U-shaped whitish mark; postscutellum black; anterior area of propodeum black, posterior area with arc-shaped whitish mark. Legs yellowish orange, except for the following: mid and hind coxae with blackish stripe; hind t1 apically, t2–4 and t5 basally, whitish; t1 basally and t5 apically, blackish. T1 whitish, with median blackish mark. T2–8 black with posterior whitish stripes.

Male. Generally similar to female, except for the following: spiracle of T1 more strongly projected; mid coxa whitish, without blackish marks; hind coxa very long, densely pilose, with black stripes.

Comments. Differs from the other Cuban species, M. townesi mainly by the following: scape vebtrally whitish (vs. black); antennae less densely pilose; flagellum uniform (vs. flattened and widened subapically); postscutellum black (vs, whitish); anterior area of propodeum moderately pilose, slightly rugose (vs. glabrate and almost impunctate); mid and hind coxae with blackish marks (vs. entirely orange); hind tarsus more extensively whitish and ovipositor shorter.

Biology. Unknown.

Distribution. Southeastern and northwestern Cuba ( Fig. 376 View FIGURES 369–376 ). Messatoporus zonatus appears to occur in sympatry with the other Cuban species, M. townesi , at least at one of its recorded localities (Santiago de Cuba).
