 long; anterolateral part of lateral lobe of mesoscutum with sparse 

 hairs; groove between propodeum and metapleurum containing a 

 carina between spiracle and apex of propodeum; propodeal punctures 

 rather coarse, separated by about 0.7 their diameter; ovipositor 

 sheath about 1.25 as long as front wing. 



Black. Palpi, tegula, and stripe on upper margin of pronotum 

 reaching from hind corner almost to notaulus, white; mesosternum, 

 mesopleurum except above, lateral lobe of mesoscutum except margin- 

 ally, scutellum, postscutellum, more or less of metapleurum, coxae,
