Glypta tumor Momoi 1970: 371.
Description: Female (n=3). Body length 11.0–14.0 mm.
Head. Ca. 0.6 times as long as wide. Clypeus 0.7 times as long as wide, roundly convex in lateral view (Fig. 2 P). Face strongly convex medially (Fig. 2 P), 0.6 times as long as wide. Frons with a small median horn between each antennal socket, its apex relateively pointed (Figs. 1 P, 3 O). OOL 1.6–1.8 times as long as OD; POL 1.4–1.6 times as long as OD. Mandible with narrow ventral flange by basal 0.6, its base weakly convex. MSL 0.8 times as long as BWM. Antenna with 45–47 flagellomeres. F1 1.7 times as long as F2.
Mesosoma. Densely punctate, punctures on lateral lobes of mesoscutum (excluding near notaulus) separated by 0.1–1.0 (usually ca. 0.3) times their diameter. Epomia weak and short. Lateral area of pronotum entirely punctate. Both sides of mesoscutum near tegula weakly and obtusely produced posteriorly. Propodeum entirely densely punctate. Anterior transverse carina and lateromedian longitudinal carina of propodeum absent. Lateral longitudinal carina slightly present on median section. Posterior transverse carina of propodeum usually broadly incomplete medially. Fore wing length 8.5–10.0 mm. Fore coxa without ridge antero-dorsally. Hind femur 5.4–5.5 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS1 2.0–2.2 times as long as TS2.
Metasoma. T1–T4 densely punctate (Figs. 6 P, 7 P, S). T1 1.2 times as long as maximum width, its median dorsal carina present on ca. basal 0.2 of tergite (Fig. 6 P). T2 1.0 times as long as maximum width. T2–T4 each with deep a pair of oblique groove (Fig. 7 P, S). Ovipositor sheath ca. 1.1 times as long as fore wing, 3.0 times as long as hind tibia.
Colouration. Body (excluding wings and legs) black, except for: clypeus, mandible excluding apex, palpi, posterodorsal corner of pronotum (weakly elongated anterioly), tegula, scutellum, membranous parts of sternites and posterior part of subgenital plate yellowish-brown; apex of scape, pedicel, apical part of flagellum and posterior margin of each metasomal tergites narrowly tinged with reddish-brown; antenna largely blackish-brown; ovipositor reddish-brown to yellowish-brown. Wings hyaline; veins and pterostigma dark brown except for yellow wing base. Fore and mid legs yellowish-brown to reddish-brown, apical part of mid tarsus more or less darkened; hind leg (Fig. 5 H) reddish-brown, except for: dorsal surface of coxa, base of tibia and TS1 pale yellow; femur darkened apically; tibia excluding base blackish-brown to black; tarsus blackish-brown to black excluding base of TS1.
Male (n=7). Similar to female. Clypeus 0.6 times as long as wide. OOL 1.2–1.6 times as long as OD; POL 1.2–1.4 times as long as OD. MSL 0.7–0.8 times as long as BWM. Lateral section of anterior transverse carina of propodeum present. Posterior transverse carina of propodeum complete. Hind femur 5.5–5.9 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. T1 1.3–1.4 times as long as maximum width, T2 1.0–1.1 times as long as maximum width. Posterior margin of subgenital plate convex (Fig. 8 M). Apical margin of paramere sharply produced dorsally, roundly produced ventrally (Figs. 8 N, 9 I, J). Dorsal margin of paramere with convexity medially (Figs. 8 N, 9 I). Ventral surfaces of scape and pedicel yellow.

Distribution (Fig. 13). Japan (Mikurajima Is.*, Kyushu*, Amamioshima Is., Okiwanajima Is.*).
Biology. Unknown.
Remarks. This species can easily be distinguished from other Japanese species by the yellow marking of scutellum and the deep oblique groove on T2–T4. The distribution of this species seems to be restricted to the islands along the Kuroshio Current.
