Diagnosis.
Face yellow (Fig.
31
); notauli nearly complete, gradually reduced posteriorly; occiput comparatively straight in dorsal view (Fig.

Mesosoma
.
Mesosoma 1.3 × longer than its height (Fig.
29
); pronope absent but transverse crenulated groove and sparsely setose along lateral margin (Fig.
30
); pronotal side granulate with ventral crenulated groove; propleuron granulate (Fig.
29
); mesopleuron largely coriaceous, but precoxal sulcus crenulate, wide, oblique and reaching anterior area (converging epicnemial area and dorsal crenulate carina); epicnemial area crenulate; mesopleural sulcus crenulate; mesosternum densely setose; anterior groove of metapleuron crenulate, remaining area reticulate-rugose, shiny and densely setose; notauli distinctly crenulate antero-medially, but gradually obsolescent posteriorly (Fig.
29
); medio-posterior depression of mesoscutum large, elliptical and deep; mesoscutum coriaceous with few setae along the notaulic course; scutellar sulcus medium-sized, moderately crenulate and gradually narrowed laterally; scutellum granulate and rather flat in lateral view; propodeum entirely reticulate-rugose and densely setose with a short medio-longitudinal carina.
Wings
.
Fore wing (Fig.
27
): Pterostigma triangular and gradually narrowed apically; vein r sublinear with vein 3 - SR; vein 1 - M nearly straight; vein 1 - SR + M straight; vein 2 - SR slightly sinuate and oblique; vein 3 - SR 1.5 × longer than vein 2 - SR; r: 3 - SR: SR 1 = 5: 18: 37; vein SR 1 straight; vein m-cu distinctly postfurcal; first subdiscal cell open; vein CU 1 b short and incomplete. Hind wing (Fig.

26
,
30

30
); second tergite shiny and granulate, with shallow pair of depressions medio-basally; third tergite granulate medially and following tergites shiny and smooth, with band of setae posteriorly; setose part of ovipositor sheath 0.5 × longer than first tergite (Fig.
34
).
