in scrobe and sometimes a little prolonged dorsad, where it occa- 
sionally terminates in a weak swelling. Mesoscutum with notaulus 
weak (sometimes rather strong in male) but traceable 0.5 or more 
the length of mesoscutum; surface at least in part coarsely and 
densely punctate, reticulo-punctate, or reticulately wrinkled. Meso- 
pleuron with speculum largely smooth and shining or sometimes 
much invaded by coarse wrinkling; its surface otherwise wrinkled 
and/or puncto-reticulate; no ridge on prepectus below. Fore tibia 
scarcely to palpably inflated. Hind coxa with a sharp and strong 
subvertical groove externo-ventrally near base. Wing venation: 
radial cell 3. 3-4. 4 as long as wide; areolet large, moderately broad to 
rather high and narrow, its intercubiti slightly to definitely conver- 
gent above; 2nd recurrent vertical or reclivous, straight or slightly 
outcurved dorsad; discocubitus gently arched to broadly angled, 
sometimes with a vestigial ramellus; mediella beyond base usually 
weakly arched but fairly strongly arched in some males; axillus very 
close to and paralleling hind margin of wing. Propodeum: spiracle 
1. 3-3.0 as long as wide; profile short and high; basal trans-carina 
traceable and often sharp throughout; apical trans-carina irregular 
but traceable between cristae, sometimes strong; cristae large and 
obtusely cuneate to subligulate, often strongly projecting; median 
longitudinal carinae often traceable but weak in female but stronger 
in males, where they often define both an areola and a median apical 
area. First gastric tergite: petiole at base with a low and rounded to 
often prominent and subtriangular lamella; postpetiole usually 
strongly expanded, in females 1.7-2. 3 as wide apically as long from 
spiracle to apex and in males 1.2- 1.9 as wide; surface of postpetiole 
at most with vague dorsal carinae and with a few to very many 
medium sized to large and frequently conspicuous punctures; ventral 
longitudinal carina defined throughout. Second gastric tergite with 
abundant, medium sized to large, shallow to (often) sharp punctures 
that are mostly subadjacent to (often) adjacent; its setae abundant 
but short and often (but not always) mostly equal to the length of 
their interspaces. Ovipositor: sheathed portion 0.34-0.45 as long as 
fore wing; straight, slender to robust, compressed; nodus distinct to 
obsolete; notch vague to rather large but shallow; dorsal valve with 
a steep to very gentle taper between notch and apex; tip 0.14-0.21 as 
high at notch as long from notch to apex; ventral valve on tip with 
ridges weak and inclivously oblique to sharp and almost vertical.
