 nearer the costal wing margin and about half way to the wing 

 apex from the stigmal vein, otherwise both wings hyaline. 



Body rather finely rugoso-punctate, the spaces between the 

 punctures smooth; lateral ocelli their own diameter from the eye 

 margin or slightly more; scutellum terminating in two tooth-like 

 plates, one on each side of the meson; abdomen finely reticulated; 

 propodeum in the middle of the dorso-lateral aspect, with one 

 distinct plate-like projection, another broader one indicated cepha-

 Scape very long, bent at extreme tip, reaching to the cephalic 

 ocellus, which is at the apex of the channel-like scrobicular cavity. 

 Body finely pubescent. Posterior femur without a large tooth 

 ventrad, its ventral margin straight but pubescent and along the 

 distal two-thirds armed with a uniform series of minute, black, 

 comblike teeth. Stylus of abdomen short. Postmarginal vein
