Male: Front wing 11.7 to 12.0 mm. long; temple at midheight 

 about 1.0 as long as eye, moderately convex; punctures on meso- 

 pleurum of moderate size, strong, separated by about 0.7 their diame- 

 ter; basal transverse carina of propodeum incomplete, mostly in- 

 distinct; apical transverse carina of moderate strength, irregularly 

 sinuate, interrupted medially. 



Fulvous or fulvoferruginous. Lower median part of frons, occiput, 

 apical 0.45 of flagellum, and sutural marks on thorax, black; apex of 

 hind femur brownish; hind tibia blackish, pale at base; tarsi yellowish 

 fulvous; Avings colored as in female; basal 0.3 of third tergite black, 

 the black mark not reaching side of tergite, narrowed medially. 



Female: Front wing 10.5 to 13.0 mm. long; temple at midheight 

 about 0.87 as long as eye, rather v/eakly convex; second flagellar 

 segment about 3.4 as long as wide; widest preapical segments of flagel- 

 lum about 0.60 as long as wide; punctures on mesopleurum moderately 

 small, crowded, partly confluent \\^th irregular vvTinkling that usually 

 has a longitudinal tendency; basal transverse carina on propodeum 

 incomplete and indistinct, or absent; apical transverse carina strong, 

 interrupted medially; hind femur about 4.9 as long as deep; hairs on 

 second tergite rather sparse, on most of the tergite their sockets 

 separated by about 1.5 the length of the hairs but somewhat denser 

 basally and laterally; ovipositor sheath about 0.73 as long as front
