Description.
MALE (Holotype). B 4.2; A 3.2; F 2.8.
Color. Head, mesosoma and legs yellow, slightly darkenning dorsally to yellowish orange; propodeum medially infuscate; flagellum brown; metasoma brown with thyridia, spiracular areas and apex of all tergites yellow; wings hyaline, venation light brown.
Head
. Clypeus transverse, almost smooth with isolated punctures; face slightly transverse and produced forwards; face and frons deeply and densely punctate but finely transversely
puncto-striate
medially; vertex and temple deeply and densely punctate; gena quite smooth; ocellar triangle slightly wider than long; temple strongly and regularly rounded, head distinctly swollen behind eyes; antenna slender with 25 flagellomeres.
Mesosoma
. Pronotum deeply rugulose but dorsal margin deeply and densely punctate; mesopleuron and metapleuron deeply, densely and coarsely punctate, punctures sometimes confluent into longitudinal rugosities, speculum smooth; epicnemial carina reaching level of
postero-ventral
corner of pronotum; mesoscutum deeply and densely punctate, punctation rougher medially;
scuto-scutellar
groove smooth; scutellum similarly punctate; propodeum
rugulose-reticulate
,
mid-longitudinally
concave; propodeal carination anteriorly moderate and posteriorly faint, area superomedia defined, hexagonal, receiving costula anteriorly to middle.
Metasoma. Tergite 1 smooth, following alutaceous.
FEMALE. Unknown.
Etymology.
Named after the acronym of Makerere University Biological Field Station, where the holotype was collected. The field station is affectionately called
"Mubfs"
by those privileged to have experienced a stay there. Noun in apposition.
Distribution.
