Head
approximately as wide as long, broadly rounded; cheeks arched; eyes large, fully one third.length of head; mouthcone short, stumpy;
third
antenna! segment symmetrical, with only the outer sense cone present, hardly twice as long as wide; fourth segment broadly rounded, not quite twice as long as wide, with four sense cones; postocular spines about three fourths as long as eyes,
with
dilated tips. All spines present on prothorax and with dilated tips.
Fore
tarsus without tooth. Forewings with six double fringe
hairs
. Tube about one half as long as head and approximately twice longer than width at base.
Hairs
at end of tube longer than tube.
Total body length

.; head length

., width
0.15 mm
.
Prothorax
length
0.117 mm
., width including coxae
0.22 mm
.; tube length
0.088 mm
., width at base

. Antenna! segments length (width): II, 30 (24); III, 40 (23); IV, 43 (30);

female
,
allotype
male, and three para type males, Swezey (5480).
This
species may be compared with aculeatus and kourdjumovi but these two have pointed body spines;
cahirensis
another species with antennal segments three to six yellow has the
third
segment asymmetrical and with two sense cones;
cooperi
would seem to be more nearly related but this species has broader wings, the
third
antennal segment is stouter and the thoracic spines are clear.
