Female. — Head, antennae, and thorax pale orange to yellow except 

 for the following parts which are marked with blackish: occiput 

 about the foramen, pronotum except the lateral angles, wedge 

 shaped part of parapsides, axillae more or less, metanotum except 

 median piece, propodeum, mesosternum, mesoepisterna and meso- 

 pleura. Sometimes the expanded part of parapsides and tegulae are 

 more or less suffused. Abdomen black; ovipositor sheaths yellow, 

 edged with black. Coloration of coxae variable, usually fore coxae 

 mostly yellow and middle and hind coxae mostly black ; hind tibiae 

 more or less black on basal half or more; apical tarsal joints fuscous, 

 remainder of the legs yellow. 



Pedicel about one and one-third times as long as wide and not 

 quite one-half as long as the first funicle joint. First funicle joint 

 plainly the longest, a trifle more than twice as long as wide; second 

 and third successively shorter and almost imperceptibly wider so 

 that the third is a trifle more than one and one-third times as long 

 as wide. Club short, the three joints united not much longer than 

 the first funicle joint; basal club joint the largest, almost one and 

 one-half times as wide as long ; second and third successively smaller, 

 second plainly wider than long, third almost as wide as long 

 (fig. 61). 



Mandibles as shown in Figure 181. 



Fore wings hyaline; cilia normal; marginal fringe short. Mar- 

 ginal vein plainly longer than the submarginal ; stigmal as shown in 

 Figure 90. 



Scutellum only slightly wider than long (6: 5) and about as long 

 as the mesoscutum. Abdomen rather long, and slender ; seventh ter- 

 gite long. Ovipositor very long, extending from near the base of 

 the abdomen to beyond the apex, the sheaths projecting 0.08 mm. 



Frontovertex with numerous, short, moderately coarse, dark setae, 

 those on face and cheeks fine and pale. Mesoscutum densely setose, 

 the setae moderately coarse, those along the sides and posterior mar- 

 gins not quite twice as large as those on the disk. Each parapsis 

 with five or so setae. Each axillae with two prominent setae an- 

 teriorly and usually with a row of five or so smaller setae paralleling 

 the scutellar suture. Scutellum about as densely setose as the meso- 

 scutum, and in addition with a moderately long pair of apical setae 

 and a subapical pair about one-half as long. The setae arranged 

 across the dorsum on the tergites from three to seven inclusive, 

 those on the sixth and seventh tergites scattered. Middle femur 

 with a stout black spine at apex on outer side and base of middle 

 tibia with three smaller yet prominent black spines at base on outer 

 side as shown in Figure 162. Tibial spur slightly shorter than the 

 basitarsus, the basitarsus not quite as long as the succeeding joints
