0.38; second tergite subpolished, its basal 0.15 ± with rather weak 

 wrinkling, it punctures very small and weak, evenly distributed, 

 separated by about 0.7 the length of the hairs. 



Coloration as in the female, except that apical 0.35 ± of hind femur 

 is usually more or less infuscate. 



Female: Front wing 6.3 to 11 mm. long; flagellum with about 43 

 segments, its first segment about 1.30 as long as second; head about 

 0.985 as wide across temples as across eyes; punctures on temple 

 very small, separated on the average by about 4 to 5 times their 

 diameter; thorax about 2.35 as long as high; upper 0.2 ± of pronotum 

 with some small punctures that are separated by about 4 times their 

 diameter; epomia weak; mesoscutal punctures very fine, separated by 

 about 6 times then* diameter; mesepimeron with hairs on its upper 

 0.4 ± anteriorly, on its upper 0.6 ± posteriorly, the rest bare; meta- 

 pleurum smooth or with more or less distinct irregular wrinkling, 

 with small weak punctures that are separated by about 3 times 

 their diameter; petiolar area about 0.50 as long as combined areola 

 and basal area; propodeal teeth about 0.9 as long as their basal 

 width; hairs in first lateral area sparse, their sockets separated by 

 about 1.2 their length; hind femur about 2.15 as long as deep, on its 

 upper 0.4 ± with small, weak, close punctures, its lower 0.6 ± with 

 very sparse punctures that are separated by more than 5 times their 

 diameter; second segment of middle tarsus about 1.65 as long as 

 deep; fifth segment of hind tarsus about 1.60 as long as second seg- 

 ment; second segment polished, a little rugulose and finely wrinkled 

 basally, its punctures very small, separated by about 4 times the length 

 of the hairs; ovipositor sheath about 1.55 as long as front wing. 



The female is distinguished by the black abdomen, very pale fulvous 

 legs, no distinct infuscation on apex of hind femur, punctures on lower 

 half of hind femur very sparse, no cross ridges in trough of pronotum, 

 and lower half of mesepimeron without hairs.
