of discocubital cell, areolet, apical 0.5 of 2nd discoidal cell, and 
expanding below to cover all but basal 0.3 (or less) of 2nd brachial 
cell; as well as with a third brown area on apical 0.5 of 3rd cubital 
cell and apical 0.5 of 3rd discoidal cell and confluent below with 
dark area of 2nd brachial cell; hind wing pale yellow with apical 0.3 
dusky and with dusky staining prolonged more narrowly far basad 
on its hind margin, as well as sometimes with an irregular transverse 
dusky area at level of nervellus. 
Length of fore wing: 10.5-12.5 mm. Flagellum: 1st segment 
3. 2-3. 5 as long as deep at apex; apical segments averaging 0.7-0. 8 as 
long as wide. Malar space: 1.0 as long as basal width of mandible. 
Mesoscutum: dully shining with abundant, dense, sharp, tiny punc- 
tures which emit inconspicuous, short and mostly close-packed 
setae. Mesopleuron: surface with delicate to strong, trans-biased 
puncto-reticulation and, at least ventrad, usually with some strong 
longitudinal wrinkling. Wing venation: radial cell 3.6-4. 1 as long as 
wide; areolet about as high as broad, symmetrically pentagonal, 
intercubiti weakly to moderately convergent above, 2nd abscissa of 
radius 0.9- 1.0 as long as 1st intercubitus. Hind femur: 5. 6-6.0 as 
long as deep. Hind tibia: below and laterally on apical 0.5 with a 
few, scattered enlarged setae. Propodeum: apical face discrete from 
the gently arched basal face and almost vertical; basal trans-carina 
traceable throughout, uniformly fine and sharp or sometimes partly 
weak and irregular. First gastric tergite: dorso-lateral carinae per- 
current but faint; dorsal carinae well defined, but not sharp, on apex 
of petiole and basal 0.5 of postpetiole; surface of postpetiole mat, 
sometimes dully shining toward apex, with fine micro-reticulation 
and with tiny, sparse, shallow punctures that are best developed 
apico-laterad (where their short setae partially overlap). Ovipositor: 
sheathed portion 0.69-0.81 as long as fore wing; tip 0.15-0.17 as 
high at nodus as long from nodus to apex. 
Male. Differs from female as follows: Color: pedicel sometimes 
marked with black; flagellomeres 1-5 (sometimes up to 9) ferrugi- 
nous to yellowish with dusky staining, mostly above; at least flagel- 
lomeres 10-13 yellow with some ferruginous staining; rest of 
flagellum black; head ferruginous with yellowish on base of mandi- 
ble, much of face laterally, and narrowly on lower 0.6 of frontal 
orbit as well as with black on apex of mandible, broadly above and 
between antennal sockets (sometimes reaching and including stem-
