of mandible. Temple: 0.5-0. 6 as long as eye in dorsal view. Meso- 
pleuron: often smooth and polished even in lower front quadrant. 
Wing venation: radial cell 3. 8-4. 4 as long as wide. Propodeum: 
spiracle 2. 2-2. 3 as long as wide. First gastric tergite: postpetiole 
1. 7-2.0 as wide apically as long from spiracle to apex. Ovipositor: 
sheathed portion 0.5-0. 6 as long as fore wing; nodus often rather 
prominent; tip 0.23-0.30 as high at notch as long from notch to

male. Color: white flagellar annulus on segments 5, 6, 7, 8 or 9 
to 13, 14, or 15; mid coxa occasionally marked with red. 
Length of fore wing: 4. 8-9. 4 mm. Flagellum: tyloids all much 
longer than broad, the 1st 3 linear (counting from base of antenna); 
1st flagellomere 2. 6-3. 2 as long as deep at apex. Malar space: 
0.70-0.84 as long as basal width of mandible. Temple: 0.6-0. 8 as 
long as eye in dorsal view. Mesoscutum: notauli traceable up to 0.6 
length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron: in small specimens sometimes 
almost wholly smooth and polished. Propodeum: surface in small 
specimens often extensively smooth and shining; cristae often as 
strong as in female. First gastric tergite: postpetiole 1.3- 1.8 as wide 
at apex as long from spiracle to apex. Second gastric tergite: setae 
generally shorter than the length of their interspaces, but in 1 speci-

or near the ground among various grasses and forbes, including 
alfalfa and oregano.
