some dusky staining on hind trochantellus, much blackish brown 
(especially apicad) on hind femur, and black almost throughout on 
hind tibia and tarsus; wings dark brown; fore wing with a broad 
transverse median yellow band that covers dorso-apical corner of 
median cell, basal 0.6 of discocubital cell, basal 0.5 of 2nd discoidal 
cell, all but base of 1st brachial cell, basal 0.2 of 2nd brachial cell, 
and anal cell beneath 1st and 2nd brachial cells, as well as with a 
rounded yellow blotch covering most of apical 0.5 of radial cell, a 
little of areolet, and basal 0.3 of 3rd cubital cell; hind wing with a 
very broad yellow transverse band on its postmedian 0.25, contigu- 
ous with median yellow band of fore wing. 
Length of fore wing: 10.0-12.3 mm. Flagellum : 1st segment 
3. 4-3. 5 as long as deep at apex; apical segments 0.6-0. 8 as long as 
wide. Malar space: 1.0- 1.1 as long as basal width of mandible. 
Mesopleuron: with extensive comparatively fine puncto-reticulation 
and without any strong longitudinal wrinkling. Wing venation: 
radial cell 3. 8-4. 5 as long as wide; areolet a little broader than high, 
intercubiti weakly convergent above, 2nd abscissa of radius 1.2- 1.5 
as long as 1st intercubitus. Hind femur: 6. 0-7.0 as long as deep. 
Hind tibia: on apical 0.5 with numerous but widely spaced enlarged 
setae. First gastric tergite: dorso-lateral carinae often sharp on peti- 
ole; dorsal carinae varying from obsolete to weak; surface of 
postpetiole uniformly mat with finely granular micro-reticulation, 
practically glabrous, even apico-laterad. Ovipositor: sheathed por- 
tion 0.76-0.83 as long as fore wing; tip 0.14-0.16 as high at nodus as 
long from nodus to apex. 
Male. Differs from female as follows: Color: scape yellow and 
ferruginous, pedicel brown with some yellowish apicad, flagellum 
with a yellowish white annulus on segments 9 or 10-12 or 13; face
