Head
. Antenna as in figure 37. HE/MS/MO: 1.4/1.0/1.0. Frons and vertex with strong reticulation, meshes transverse. Posterior ocelli situated at occipital margin; POL/OOL: 3.8/1.0. Occipital margin rounded; transverse groove distinct and median longitudinal groove indistinct. WH/WT=1.0.
Mesosoma
.
Mesoscutum flattened, 0.6× as long as wide, with weak and engraved reticulation, anterior half with ± isodiametric meshes, posterior half with elongate meshes; with one pair of setae situated close to anterior margin. Scutellum flat, 0.7× as long as wide, smooth and shiny; scutellar setae situated about in the middle, ratio distances to anterior margin of scutellum/posterior margin of scutellum=1.3. Axilla advanced its entire length in front of scuto-scutellar sulcus. TPS strongly curved. Fore wing speculum very small and closed below; LW/LM/HW: 2.2/1.0/1.2; PM/ST=0.3. Propodeum smooth and shiny; propodeal callus with
two setae.

Remarks
The transverse head of
cerrobius
(known only in the male sex) is similar to the one found in
transversa
(known only in the female sex). However,
cerrobius
and
transversa
are not conspecific, e.g. the fore wing is different:
cerrobius
with basal one-third strongly infuscate and speculum very small (almost absent);
transversa
with an infuscate stripe below middle of marginal vein and with distinct speculum.
