white apical band that is preceded by a blackish area; succeeding 
tergites blackish with dorsally much narrowed white bands; legs 
pale red: fore and mid coxae and more or less of their trochanters 
below, white, the trochanters sometimes a little dusky above; hind 
tibia irregularly dusky toward apex; fore and mid tarsi dusky 
toward apex; hind tarsus more or less dusky with a usually subapi- 
cal white band or blotch on 1st segment and with more or less of 
segments 2-4 white; wings hyaline, sometimes faintly brownish 
apicad. 
Length of fore wing: 5. 6-6. 7 mm. First flagellomere: 5. 3-5. 5 as 
long as deep at apex. Malar space: 0.9- 1 . 1 as long as basal width of 
mandible. Temple: 0.30-0.40 as long as eye in dorsal view; rounded 
off and strongly receding. Mesoscutum: notauli narrow and very 
weak except near base, traceable 0.5-0. 7 the length of mesoscutum; 
surface dully shining, throughout coarsely and granularly puncto- 
reticulate. Mesopleuron: speculum swollen, largely smooth and pol- 
ished; surface otherwise rather finely puncto-reticulate to reticulately 
wrinkled. Propodeum: spiracle 1. 7-2.0 as long as wide; basal trans- 
carina well defined throughout, sometimes a little irregular; apical 
trans-carina weaker than basal, becoming very indistinct medially; 
cristae large and stout, obtusely cuneate; median apical area irregu- 
larly suggested; surface strongly reticulately wrinkled. First gastric 
tergite: postpetiole 1.7-2. 3 as wide apically as long from spiracle to 
apex; surface of postpetiole smooth and shining with fine, often 
largely obscure micro-reticulation and with scattered large, sharp 
punctures which become mostly subadjacent to adjacent over a 
broad area laterally and which emit short setae that laterally largely 
equal or a little exceed the length of their interspaces. Second gastric 
tergite: smooth and shining with fine, rather obscure micro- 
reticulation that becomes stronger laterad and with abundant large, 
sharp, mostly subadjacent to adjacent punctures that average more 
crowded and a little smaller toward apex and, especially, laterad, 
and which emit short setae that mostly equal or exceed the length of 
their interspaces. Ovipositor: tip 0.17-0.21 as high at notch as long 
from notch to apex. 
Male. Differs from female as follows: Color: antenna black 
except for a large white spot below on scape; clypeus and face 
almost wholly white; only basal 0.7 of scutellum white; apical 0.5 of 
3rd gastric tergite blackish; 4th tergite more generally blackish, its
