Condition.
Not bad; the right antenna is missing after the 12th flagellomere and left antenna after the 10th, but a single apical flagellomere is glued to card; the face, left eye, antenna, wings, left side of the mesosoma and wings are covered in glue; the fifth tarsomeres of both hind legs are detached, but a single fifth tarsomere is attached to the remaining right hind tarsus.
Remarks.
Described from both sexes, only the
lectotype
female is present in NHMUK.
