scutellum and postscutellum; most of subalarum; very large oblique 
blotch on anterior 0.5 of mesepisternum from about upper end of 
prepectal carina almost to sternaulus at its midlength; small spot in 
lower hind corner of mesepisternum; dull brown tinged area near 
top of mesepimeron; very large blotch on most of upper metapleu- 
ron; large dorsal area on lower metapleuron along pleural carina on 
apical 0.6 of sclerite; and lateral 0.3 of propodeum, including crista; 
gaster red: 1st tergite with a broad white apical band that is briefly 
interrupted on meson; 2nd tergite with weak dusky staining and a 
prominent, medially well interrupted subapical white band; 3rd ter- 
gite with faint dusky staining but no white; 4th tergite with a very 
broad, laterally incomplete white apical band; and 5th tergite black- 
ish red with a broad, laterally incomplete white apical band; 6th and 
7th tergites similar to 5th but with narrower white bands; 8th tergite 
dull reddish; legs red with black anteriorly on fore coxa, dorso- 
posteriorly on mid coxa, dorso-anteriorly on fore trochanter, on last 
2 or 3 fore and mid tarsomeres, on much of hind trochantellus, 
inconspicuously toward apex above on hind femur, extensively 
(especially apicad) on hind tibia, and on much of hind tarsus, as well 
as with white or whitish anteriorly and posteriorly on fore coxa, 
dorsally on mid coxa, anteriorly on fore and mid trochanters, and 
on all of 2nd and most of basal 0.5 of 1st tarsomere; wings hyaline 
with faint brownish staining. 
Length of fore wing; 6.5 mm. First flagellomere: 4.4 as long as 
deep at apex. Malar space: 0.9 as long as basal width of mandible. 
Temple: 0.3 as long as eye in dorsal view, anteriorly rounded off and 
then steeply, directly receding. Face: with a large and gently raised, 
rounded median swelling. Hypostomal carina: a weakly elevated 
flange. Mesoscutum: notauli nearly percurrent, extremely shallow; 
mesoscutal surface shining with coarse, reticulate wrinkling along 
notauli, between notauli on apical 0.5, and exteriorly on lateral 
lobes, as well as with some duller micro-reticulate areas centrad on 
lobes. Mesopleuron: speculum swollen, mostly smooth and pol- 
ished; surface otherwise shining with strong, rather straight to 
gently sinuate wrinkles radiating extensively from speculum but 
grading into more puncto-reticulate surface anteriad and ventrad. 
Wing venation: radial cell 3.7 as long as wide; areojet large, intercu- 
biti only weakly convergent above, 2nd abscissa of radius 1.0 as long 
as 1st intercubitus; 2nd recurrent reclivous, straight; disco-cubitus
