Diagnosis. Antenna with 20–22 (in female) or 21–22 (in male) flagellomeres. Tyloids on FL VII to FL XIV in male. Face coriaceous and matt; densely punctate. Clypeus depressed apically; robes rounded at outer corners. Mesoscutum smooth and polished; densely punctate; often with coriaceous area medially. Mesopleuron smooth and polished; often with coriaceous area below speculum; densely punctate except for on and below speculum. Propodeum finely rugulose; posterior part of lateromedian longitudinal carina and pleural carina present. Fore wing length 5.5–8.5 mm. Areolet present. Dorsal part of hind coxa coriaceous basally, smooth apically. Metasoma dorsoventrally depressed in both sexes. Latero-median carina usually indistinct, at most present on basal 0.3 of T I. T I 1.0–1.1 (in female) or 1.1–1.5 (in male) × as long as maximum width; rugulose punctate laterally; finely striate medially; otherwise coriaceous. T II 0.7–0.85 (in female) or 0.8–0.9 (in male) × as long as maximum width. Face without pair of yellow markings along each inner orbit ( Figs 2 B, E View FIGURE 2 ). Face entirely black or black with yellow median marking which separated from clypeus in female ( Fig. 2 B View FIGURE 2 ); entirely yellow in male ( Fig. 2 E View FIGURE 2 ). Clypeus entirely yellow in both sexes ( Figs 2 B, E View FIGURE 2 ). Malar space entirely black in females ( Fig. 2 B View FIGURE 2 ); entirely yellow in male ( Fig. 2 E View FIGURE 2 ). Yellow shoulder markings of mesoscutum present ( Figs 2 A, D View FIGURE 2 ). Scutellum black with yellow apical marking ( Fig. 2 C View FIGURE 2 ). Fore and mid coxae entirely yellow to yellowish-brown in female ( Fig. 2 A View FIGURE 2 ); entirely yellow in male ( Fig. 2 D View FIGURE 2 ). Hind coxa entirely orange or orange with yellow apex in female ( Fig. 2 A View FIGURE 2 ); yellow with dorsal orange to black stripe or orange to black with yellow apex in male ( Fig. 2 D View FIGURE 2 ). Hind tibia white; darkened basally and apically; often with black subbasal marking ( Figs 2 A, D View FIGURE 2 ). Metasoma entirely black in female. T III with pair of yellow to brown basal markings in male. T IV and sometimes T V each with transverse yellow apical band in male.
Distribution. Japan (Hokkaido, Honshu, and Shikoku). Outside Japan, this species is distributed in Korea ( Yu et al. 2016).
Bionomics. Host is unknown. In Japan, adults were collected in broadleaved forests and wetlands.
