The following notes on the Alaskan series are provided for comparative purposes: flagellomere 2 3.6x longer than broad; flagellomere 14 1.7x as long as broad. Stigma twice as long as broad,.9 as long as metacarp (R1), pellucid centrally, darker grey­brown peripherally (especially posteriorly). Propodeum smooth, polished, with series of oblique fine ridges extending forward on either side from nucha. Tergite I of metasoma evenly narrowing posteriorly, 3.23.5x as long as posteriorly broad, twice broader anteriorly than posteriorly, smooth, polished except with fine longitudinal posterior aciculations; tergite II strongly triangular, 2.6x broader posteriorly than anteriorly, 1.6x broader posteriorly than medially long, entirely polished, smooth except faint peripheral sculpturing. Ovipositor sheaths slightly longer than hind basitarsi, just over half as long as hind tibiae. Body length 1.82.0 mm, forewing length 2.0
