A–G)
Diagnosis:
Distinguishable from other species in the subgenus by having the pronotum testaceous.
Length:
7.5 mm
.
Color:
body melanic except: fore tibia, fore tarsus, thorax except propleuron and anterior half of pronotum, first median and lateral metasomal tergite, lateral portion of seventh median metasomal tergite rufous; wings slightly infuscate (
Fig. 28
G).
Head
(
Fig. 28
A–C): antenna with 36 flagellomeres, each with 2–4 rows of longitudinal placodes; vertex with sparse and weak punctures and weak setation laterally; occipital carina with evenly spaced setae over its entirety; lateral carina bordering antennal scrobe incomplete; median lamella of antennal scrobe flattened anteriorly, acute posteriorly; face and clypeus with dense punctures; ventral margin of clypeus with three blunt tubercles.

Mesosoma
(
Fig. 28
D–E): anterior margin of pronotum protruding posteriorly as curl of cuticle; pronotum weakly rugosopunctate anteriorly, with moderate punctation and setae posteriorly, with depression along entire dorsal margin with numerous longitudinal carinae creating large fovea; anterior face of mesoscutum smooth; median lobe of mesoscutum triangular; mesoscutum smooth with sparse setae, anterior margin of median lobe carinate laterally and smooth medianly, lateral lobe smooth with sparse setae; notauli meeting in anterior half of mesoscutum, with transverse carinae that create large oval and rectangular fovea; transscutal articulation not grooved; scutellar disc smooth with moderately dense long setae; scutellar sulcus with 7 fovea; propleuron with moderate punctation and setae ventrally; mesopleuron with carinae running perpendicular to dorsal half of epicnemial area, with pleural sulcus mostly smooth, otherwise mesopleuron smooth, with moderate setae ventrally and anteriorly, otherwise with sparse setae; sternaulus complete, restricted to single row of ovoid fovea; propodeum irregularly areolate, with moderately dense setae; metapleuron smooth with shallow fovea dorsally and irregularly areolate ventrally with sparse to moderate setae; hind coxa lacking distinct groove or depression on median face; tarsal claw with basal lobe absent.

Metasoma
(
Fig. 28
F): t1 smooth; t4–t7 lacking dense, small pits posteroventrally near spiracles; first valvula of ovipositor with serrations apically; second valvula lacking subapical serration; ratio of length:width of t1 2.1; ratio of ovipositor:forewing 1.4; ratio of M+CU:1M vein of hind wing 2.2.
