(Figs. 1 O, 2 O, 3 N, 5 G, 6 O, 7 O)
Description: Female (n=1: HT). Body length 7.5 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 O). Face weakly convex medially (Fig. 2 O), 0.5 times as long as wide. Frons with a large median horn between each antennal socket, its apex relateively pointed (Figs. 1 O, 3 N). OOL 1.6 times as long as OD; POL 1.6 times as long as OD. Mandible with very narrow ventral flange by basal 0.6, its base flat. MSL 1.0 times as long as BWM. Antenna with 33 flagellomeres. F1 1.5 times as long as F2.
Mesosoma. Punctate, punctures on lateral lobes of mesoscutum (excluding near notaulus) separated by 0.3–2.0 (usually ca. 1.0) times their diameter. Epomia weak and short. Lateral area of pronotum entirely punctate, its lower part more or less sparser than upper part. Both sides of mesoscutum near tegula weakly and obtusely produced posteriorly. Propodeum entirely punctate. Posterior transverse carina and pleural carina of propodeum complete. Other carinae of propodeum absent. Fore wing length 6.0 mm. Fore coxa with weak ridge antero-dorsally. Hind femur 5.4 times as long as maximum depth in lateral view. Hind TS1 2.2 times as long as TS2.
Metasoma. T1–T4 punctate (Figs. 6 O, 7 O). T1 1.3 times as long as maximum width, its median dorsal carina present on ca. basal 0.5 of tergite (Fig. 6 O). T2 0.9 times as long as maximum width. T2–T4 each with moderate a pair of oblique groove (Fig. 7 O). Ovipositor sheath ca. 1.2 times as long as fore wing, 2.9 times as long as hind tibia.
Colouration. Body (excluding wings and legs) black, except for: apical part of clypeus, tip of mandible, palpi, posterodorsal corner of pronotum, tegula, membranous parts of sternites and posterior part of subgenital plate yellow to yellowish-brown; posterior margin of each metasomal tergite tinged with reddish-brown; flagellum blackish-brown, its ventral surface more or less paler than dorsal surface; ovipositor reddish-brown to yellowishbrown. Wings hyaline; veins and pterostigma brown except for yellow wing base. Legs (hind leg: Fig. 5 G) reddish-brown, except for: fore and mid trochanters, all trochantelluses and base of all tibiae pale yellow; hind femur darkened apically; subbasal band and apical part of hind tibia black; hind tibia excluding yellow and black areas yellowish-brown; mid and hind tarsi blackish-brown to black with basal yellow areas on TS1–TS3 and slightly on TS4 and TS5. Basal yellow areas of TS1 ca. 0.5 length of TS1 and of TS2–TS3 present only basally.
Male. Unknown.
Material examined. JAPAN: 1F, Hokkaido Pref., Touya, 8. vii. 1967, K. Kusigemati leg. (KU).
Distribution (Fig. 13). Japan (Hokkaido).
Biology. Unknown.
Etymology. The specific name is from the type locality “Touya”.
Remarks. This species has been confused with G. cymolomiae and its allied species but they can be distinguished from each other by the above key and Table 1. This species also resembles G. extincta but can easily be distinguished by the long ovipositor, 2.9 times as long as hind tibia (1.7–1.9 in extincta).
