Tanzania , N.W. Tanganika , 1910, Grauer. Additional specimens examined Tanzania : 1 female , N.W. Tanganika , 1910, Grauer ( MNW ) . Description Female: Length of body 14 mm , of fore wing 14 mm , of ovipositor 14 mm . Antennae with 104 flagellomeres, terminal flagellomere 2.1 times longer than wide. Apex of antenna flattened. Height of clypeus:inter-tentorial distance:tentorio-ocular distance51.0:3.6:3.0. Width of face:width of head:height of eye51.2:2.1:1.0. Height of face:width of face51.0:1.9. Sculpture on face pustulate and granulate, on clypeus granulated. Frons slightly depressed, smooth, with medial longitudal groove. POL:transverse diameter of posterior ocellus:shortest distance between posterior ocellus and eye51.0:1.4:3.1. Length of eye in dorsal view:distance of occiput and posterior margin of eye52.4:1.0. Mesosoma approximately 1.8 times longer than maximally deep. Fore wing: length of veins r:3-SR:SR151.0:2.0:3.9. Length of veins 2-SR:3-SR:rm51.0:2.4:1.4. Length of veins m-cu:2-M51.0:2.5. Length of veins 1-CU1:2- CU151.0:6.2. Shape of vein 1-SR+M nearly straight, with a little unevenness. Swelling in vein 3-CU1 2.0 times thicker than the other part of the vein. Legs: Length of fore femur:tibia:tarsus52.1:2.4:1.0. Fore basitarsus 3.8 times longer than deep. Length of hind femur:tibia:tarsus51.9:2.7:1.0. Hind basitarsus 4.3 times longer than deep. First metasomal tergite 1.7 times longer than wide; raised median area smooth and posterior area strigated. Second tergite 1.7 times wider than long; raised median area strigated, antero-medial triangular area raised and smooth. Third tergite 2.0 times wider than long; with strigated transverse furrows on anterior and subposterior margins, raised median area longitudinally rugulose to reticulate rugose. Antero-lateral areas raised and smooth. Tergites four and five similar, but raised median areas smooth and antero-lateral areas more narrow. Tergites six and seven smooth. Orange-brown except for the following which are black: face, frons, vertex, temples, apex of mandibles, antennae and ovipositor sheets. Wings fairly evenly darkened, with a paler area in fore wing below pterostigma. About apical fifth of pterostigma darkened. Hind wing darkened with a paler area on the base of marginal cell.
