Etymology The name of the species refers to the area where the holotype was collected, Rondonia State, Brazil . Material examined Holotype BRAZIL : ♀, Vilhena (Rondonia State), Nov. 1973 ( AEIC ). Description Female MEASUREMENTS. Body length 10 mm . Fore wing length 7 mm . HEAD. In dorsal view, strongly narrowed behind eyes. Gena smooth and shiny, with sparse, moderately long setae ventrally, in dorsal view 0.4 times as long as eye, in frontal view straight and moderately constricted below eyes ( Fig. 8 D). Frons smooth and shiny, with a weak medial longitudinal depression. Vertex smooth and shiny, with very isolated setiferous punctures. Posterior ocellus separated from eye by about 0.8 times its maximum diameter. Distance between hind ocelli about 0.8 times maximum diameter of posterior ocellus. Occipital carina strongly raised, forming a dorsomedial flange, conspicuously upcurved posteriorly ( Fig. 8 B). Face strongly and densely punctate, distance between punctures about diameter of punctures. Clypeal suture strongly curved. Clypeus 1.6 times as broad as medially long, weakly convex in dorsal half, flat in ventral half, with apical margin truncate. Malar space about 0.8 times as long as basal mandibular width, with deep and narrow sulcus between eye and mandible, sulcus short, evanescent towards mandibular base, forming a wide triangular granulate area ( Fig. 8 D). Antenna of unique holotype broken, with 31+ flagellomeres, first flagellomere about 4.6 times as long as wide. MESOSOMA. Pronotum shiny, mostly smooth, with very fine and sparse setiferous punctures in upper posterior part. Mesoscutum entirely smooth and shiny, median lobe anteriorly with very few shallow and sparse setiferous punctures. Notauli weak, reaching about 0.4 of length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron shiny, mostly smooth, with very sparse and fine setiferous punctures except in dorsal and lateral posterior part. Epicnemial carina absent. Metapleuron smooth and shiny, with fine and sparse setiferous punctures on dorsal posterior part, about 2.0 times as long as deep. Propodeum smooth and shiny, with sparse and fine setiferous punctures laterally; in dorsal view about 0.95 times as long as medially wide. Propodeal spiracle situated immediately above groove separating propodeum and metapleuron. Hind leg with femur 3.6 times as long as deep, 0.9 times as long as tibia. Fore wing with vein cu-a opposite Rs & M. Vein 2 rs-m shorter than half length of abscissa of M between 2 rs-m and 2 m-cu . Abscissa of Cu 1 between 1 m-cu and Cu 1a about 3.0 times as long as Cu 1b. Hind wing with vein cu-a about 0.4 times as long as abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a . Vein cu-a + abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a vertical. Vein Cu 1 distinctly pigmented. METASOMA. Tergite I about 1.7 times as long as posteriorly broad, smooth and shiny, with very fine, sparse setiferous punctures laterally; spiracle near its basal 0.4; lateromedian longitudinal carinae strong, reaching about 0.2 of length of tergite; lateral longitudinal carina absent. Sternite I extending back about 0.6 of length of tergite. Tergite II 1.2 times as long as posteriorly broad, central region shiny, with shallow and dense punctures; rest of tergites shiny, more densely punctate. Ovipositor stout, strongly upcurved in apical 0.4, matt, 1.25 times as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath about 0.94 times as long as hind tibia, length of setae on average about 1.5 times sheath basal width. COLOURATION. Body primarily orange, black and white ( Fig. 7 B). Antenna brownish, pallid towards base of external side including pedicel, distal rim of scape yellow. Head black with clypeus, base of mandible, ventral part of gena, inner eye orbit, two longitudinal blotches on the face and two transverse blotches under antennal sockets white. Palpi orange. Mesosoma entirely orange except dorsal posterior border of propodeum black. Tegula orange. Wings entirely and moderately infuscate, pterostigma brown. Fore legs orange. Mid leg mostly orange, with ventral part of coxa and posterior part of trochanter dark brown to black. Hind leg black, coxa dorsally, femur distally and centrally (non-defined band), wide band in middle of tibia and proximal part of tarsal segments white. Metasoma dark brown to black, anterior corners of tergites I–IV and posterior band of tergites I–VII white. Posterior corners of tergites I–III with black spots. Ovipositor dark brown. Ovipositor sheath black. Male Unknown. Distribution Brazil .
