thorax dark brownish. Abdomen dark brown above, venter 
and ovipositor ochreous. ‘Tenth tergite longer than the

which project slightly beyond the tip of the ventral (ninth 
sternal) valves of the ovipositor. Legs uniformly light 
brownish. Wings with a slight brownish tinge ; the seven 
dark costal spots, also the other markings and the venation,

This insect, though very close to G. avocetta, Alex.,
