Description
Female
SIZE. Body length 6.0– 11.5 mm, fore wing 3.0– 5.5 mm, ovipositor sheath 1.3–2.3 mm (Fig. 7B).
COLOUR. Body brown; vertical orbit, stripes between median and lateral lobes of mesoscutum, scutellum, fore leg, middle femUr apically, middle tibia basally and apically, first metasomal tergite in anterior ¾ often yellowish. Tergites 2–7 black; tergite 7 often with narrow triangular reddish yellow pattern on posterior margin (Fig. 7B).
HEAD. Antenna with 23–27 flagellomeres. Ocelli small, diameter of lateral ocellUs shorter than distance between lateral ocellus and margin of the eye (Fig. 6A). Frons rugose with distinct median vertical ridge, with transverse striae beside vertical ridge. Clypeus width 1.6 × its height, without pair of lateromedian apical teeth. Inner eye orbits convergent ventrally. Lower part of face not elongate, width between eyes across clypeal suture about 1.3 × length from antennal insertion to apex of clypeal margin medially (Fig. 6B). Temple weakly swollen in middle, constricted behind eyes, about 0.66 × as wide as compound eye in lateral view (Fig. 6C).
MESOSOMA. Pronotum without impunctate area behind epomia. Epomia strong, upper end of epomia reaching dorsal pronotal margin. Mesopleuron rugose (Fig. 6D). Epicnemial carina broken at level of sternaulus (with branch to lower posterior corner of pronotum). Metapleuron rugose. Mesoscutum rugose (Fig. 6E). Scutellum rugose. Propodeum reticulate-rugose (Fig. 6F). Fore wing with r-rs weakly curved near pterostigma. Marginal cell length about 2.0 × its distance from end of wing (Fig. 7A).
METASOMA. First tergite 0.9 × as long as second tergite. Second tergite 1.4 × as long as third tergite. Sclerotized part of first sternite extending to posterior third of segment. Postpetiole convex. Spiracle circular, small. Ovipositor weakly down-curved, with distinct subapical notch. Ovipositor sheath about 1.2 × as long as hind tibia.
Variation
