Length about 4.0 mm. General colour dark reddish-brown. Head as long as wide; frons polished; ocelli distinct, posterior to supra-ocular line; eye glabrous; median clypeal lobe conspicuous, anterior margin rounded, longer than lateral ones; median clypeal carina high in lateral view; mandible tetradentate; antenna with dense pubescence, scape 3.0 × longer than pedicel, pedicel as long as first flagellomere. Pronotum weakly coriaceous; mesonotum shorter than pronotal dorsal area; notauli complete, longer than parapsidal signum.Metapectal-propodeal disc wider than long; metapostnotal median carina anteriorly; first abdominal spiracle dorsally placed. Tarsal claw simple. Wings nearly hyaline; forewing with pterostigma dark brown, 2R1 2 c cell opened, Rs+M 2 v vein present, 1M 2 c opened; hind wing with four hamuli. Metasoma polished. Male. Unknown. Material examined. Holotype : [ INDIA , Orissa ,] Cuttack, C.S. 223. From pupa in burrows of stem borer. M. Ahmed coll., 18-IX-1937 , Imperial Entomologist 1938, Delhi , 869”. Type conditions. Holotype partly dissected on slide Nº. 26/B and remaining rested on the pin. Pinned : Head and mesosoma intact; metasoma pasted on a different card, but on the same pin. Head with right antenna; mesosoma with right mesoleg and metaleg, and left mesocoxa. On slides : S1 C1—one leg. S1 C2—two separated coxae and one leg without coxa. S2 C1—one antenna; one forewing; one leg without coxa. S2 C2—one forewing and one hind wing. Remarks. Kurian (1955) mentioned the holotype , both on the slides and description, as male, but dissection of the metasoma confirmed it as female. Dissected ovipositor and last tergites of the holotype are mounted on a small square cover slip on S1. Hosts. Lepidoptera : pupa in stem borer.
