 ventral margin of face), pronotum except face and caudal margin across meson, parapsides,. 

 lateral margin of each axilla rather broadly, scutellum laterad of grooves except at base, distal 

 third of scutellum between the grooves and the postscutellum. Propodeum rugulose but the 

 median carina is distinct. Legs (except hind coxa) and proximal half of scape pale yellowish. 

 Caudal femur a little dusky at proximal half. Postmarginal vein not quite as long as the 

 stigmal, the fore wings lightly dusky across from the whole marginal vein. Mandibles 5-dentate. 

 Funicle 1 a little longer than wide, 2 barely so, subequal to the 'pedicel. Terminal spine of

 Abdomen pointed conic ovate, from above depressed and pointed ovate, the ovipositor shortly 

 exserted. Segment 2 of abdomen longest, 7 next so, the former occupying a little less than a 

 fourth of the surface, its caudal margin straight. Postmarginal vein a little shorter than the 

 stigmal. Propodeum with a solid median carina, the spiracle small, suboval. Mandibles with 

 two larger outer teeth and but a single inner smaller one. Differs from Fseudiglyphella in

 and 3 of abdomen glabrous, the rest reticulated; segment 3 very short. Antenna? dusky 

 yellowish, the scape concolorous with the body, the pedicel dark, subequal in length to funicle 1 

 which is longer than wide; funicle 2 subquadrate. Distal club joint terminating in a small 

 nipple. Type captured by sweeping jungle growth along a forest streamlet, June 14, 1913
