Front wing 4.2 to 7.0 mm. long; clj^peus weakly convex, its apex 

 with a blunt median tooth, impressed on each side so that tooth is 

 accentuated; thorax elongate; mesoscutum polished, with coarse 

 strong punctures; apical carina of propodeum strongly sinuate, its me- 

 dian portion strongly bowed forward so that the forward extension of 

 apical area of propodeum on the midhne is about 0.4 as long as wide; 

 areolet rather large, subpentagonal, the intercubiti rather wealdy con- 

 vergent forward; second recuiTent received a little basad of middle of 

 areolet; angle between recurrent and first abscissa of subdiscoideus 

 about 110°; fu'st abdominal segment rather short, without a basolateral 

 tooth, its median dorsal carinae extending most of length of the tergite 

 but very blunt and indistinct; dorsolateral carina of first tergite weak 

 and indistinct basad of and just beyond spiracle, more apicad becoming 

 strong and sharp ; postpetiole weakly mat, with scattered small, weak 

 punctures; second tergite mat, with medium-sized punctures that in 

 male are weak, indistinct, and close, in female of moderate strength, 

 distinct, and separated by about 0.4 their diameter; ovipositor sheath 

 about 0.42 as long as front wing; vertical ridges on ovipositor tip 

 a little more closely spaced than in other Nearctic species of the 

 genus. 



Male: Face, clypeus, cheek, and lower 0.65 ± of temple white; 

 upper half of head black except that frontal orbit is rather broadly 

 white; mouth parts white; antenna black, the flagellum brown below 

 and scape sometimes with a white spot in front; thorax black, the 

 lower part of propleurum, collar, broad stripe along lower edge of 

 pronotum, hind corner of pronotum, tegula,subtegular ridge, scutellum, 

 postscutellum, much or most of mesosternum, and usually a spot above 

 sternaulus, white; usually lower 0.8 i of mesopleurum, usually most 

 or all of metapleurum, and usually all of propodeum except its basal 

 0.1 ±, fulvous; front and middle coxae and trochanters white, the 

 upper side of the first trochanters and an external apical spot on 

 middle coxa usually brown, the rest of middle coxa sometimes partly 

 fulvous; hind coxa and trochanters fulvous, the trochanters and apical 

 0.4 ± of the coxa usually brown above, the second trochanter whitish 

 basally below; hind femur fulvous, its apical 0.12 weakly infuscate; 

 hind tibia brown, ferruginous basally; first and last segments of hind 

 tarsus light to dark brown, the apical 0.5 ± of first segment and basal
