tip in lateral view. 
0.6-0. 7 as long as 1st intercubitus; ramellus sometimes strong. 
Propodeum: cristae subligulate to subcuneate; wrinkles between the 
trans-carinae varying from mostly longitudinal to quite irregular. 
First gastric tergite: postpetiole 1.5-2. 3 as wide apically as long from 
spiracle to apex. Ovipositor: sheathed portion 0.55-0.63 as long as 
fore wing; tip 0.20-0.23 as high at notch as long from notch to apex. 
male. Differs from female as follows: Color: white flagellar 
annulus (often weak below) on segments 7, 8, 9, or 10 to 14 or 15; 
white orbital bands broader and more extensive than in female; 
small white spot on tegula. 
Length of fore wing: 7.3-12.0 mm. Flagellum: 1st segment 3. 9-5.0 
as long as deep at apex; only the 3rd tyloid (counting from base) 
unusually broad, the rest ovoid to linear. Front: weakly excavated. 
Clypeus: much as in female, very low in profile with rounded apical 
margin. Malar space: 0.67-0.80 as long as basal width of mandible. 
Temple: 0.7- 1.0 as long as eye in dorsal view; more strongly 
rounded-off than in female. Mesoscutum: more sparsely punctate 
than in female, even more shining, sometimes without longitudinal 
wrinkles mesad between ends of notauli. Propodeum: a little longer 
and lower in profile than in female; cristae strong and bluntly 
cuneate; sculpture (also of mesosoma) generally weaker than in 
female, with more or less extensive smooth areas, often including 
most of areola. First gastric tergite: postpetiole 1.0-1. 3 as wide api- 
cally as long from spiracle to apex. Second gastric tergite: with
