Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.5 times as long as high (98:66); propleuron wide and deep, crenulate; mesoscutum almost smooth, with sparse fine punctures; notauli deep and crenulate anteriorly, flat posteriorly; mesoscutum with deep smooth medial depression between notauli (Fig. 19); scutellar sulcus 0.5 times as long as scutellum (8:15); scutellum with sparse fine punctures; precoxal sulcus wide and shallow, sparsely rugose-punctate; mesopleuron and mesosternum smooth; metapleuron sparsely rugose; propodeum with small triangular areola and without basal carina, sparsely rugose laterally (Fig. 20). Wings. Fore wing: pterostigma 4.1 times as long as wide (53:13); r:2-SR:3-SR:SR1=12:20:31:58; vein r arising from middle of pterostigma; vein 1-SR+M slightly curved; vein cu-a slightly postfurcal; vein 1-CU1 very short and nearly quadrate (Fig. 22); cu-a:2-CU1=9:31; basal length of second submarginal 3.6 times as long as its apical width (47:13).

Colour. Yellow; scapus and pedicel yellow; eyes and antennal segments brown; palpi yellow; first-third metasomal tergites yellow, fourth-sixth tergites pale yellow; wing vein yellow; pterostigma yellow, brownish apically. Male. Unknown. Distribution. NC Vietnam: Thua Thien-Hue (A Luoi, A Roang). Biology. Unknown. Etymology. Named from "simulo" (Latin for "imitate, copy"), because this species is similar to Iporhogas guangxiensis Chen & He, 1997.
