Diagnosis.
This species can be distinguished from other members of the
Callajoppa
genus-group
by the characters given above in the generic description of
Lagavula
, and from the other species in the genus by the following combination of characters: ventral 0.5 of mesopleuron with punctures on polished surface, punctures separated by about 1–2¥ their diameter (vs. ventral 0.5 with closely spaced vertical rugae); areola present albeit weakly defined; base of propodeum strongly elevated; predominately brownish yellow colour of body; banded fore wing (
Fig. 73
).
Female. Structure
. Ventral 0.5 of mesopleuron with punctures on polished surface, punctures separated by about 1–2¥ their diameter. Areola present albeit weakly defined. Base of propodeum strongly elevated. Other characters as in generic description.
Colour
. Overall colour brownish yellow. Following areas fuscous/black: two parallel stripes on supraclypeal area; supra-antennal area; vertex; dorsal 0.7 of gena and region bordering eye; dorsal 0.4 of occiput; antenna; pronotum except for extreme posterior ventral corner; mesoscutum; scutellum except for apical 0.2; mesopleuron except for posterior 0.5 of hypoepimeron, ventral 0.5 of epicnemium, and ventral posterior corner; hind leg except for basal 0.7 of coxa and apical 0.5 of femur (except for extreme apex); apical 0.2 of T3, and T4-6; S4-6. Fore and hind legs with following dark brown: ovoid near apex of posterior face of femur, tarsomeres 2–4 of fore leg, and middle tarsus. Ground colour of wings light yellow: fore wing with two dark brown bands (
Fig. 73
), hind wing with extreme apex dark brown.

As in female.
Colour
. As in female except: supraclypeal area, with exception of paraocular area, can be fuscous to dark brown; fuscous of mesopleuron can be restricted to dorsal 0.5, leaving epicnemium entirely brownish yellow; S4 brownish yellow.
