Male :—Length, 5.30 mm. 
Running to Schizaspidia Westwood but the antenne only 12-jointed, the petiole of the 
abdomen very long and slender, distinctly longer than the body of the abdomen. Scutellum 
armed with a short prong (or two short, stout teeth) whose base is quadrate and longer than 
the arms or teeth, the whole less than half the length of the scutellum. Head, propodeum 
except latero-cephalad, metapleurum, mesopleurum except dorsad, venter of meso- and meta- 
thorax; coxe (also venter of prothorax cephalad of cox), teeth (but not the base) of the 
scutellar prong; a large hive-shaped spot at cephalic margin of scutum at meson, reaching to 
middle (and proceeding ventrad a short distance on to face of the exceedingly short pronotum) ; 
an oblique, ovate spot a little caudad of the middle on each parapside and a transverse 
elliptical spot on each axilla, dark metallic purple with a bronze reflection. Petiole and legs 
white, the former broadly ringed with fuscous distad of middle. Rest of body yellow brown 
but the dorsum of abdomen jet black. Fore wing hyaline but with a distinct sooty spot 
appended from the end of the venation about the stigmal vein. Mandibles as in Orasema
