Material.

Holotype female in BMNH, glued to a card, labelled: "RUSSIA: Vaskelovo, Lesnoe, 23.vii.2006, E. Shevtsova". Paratype. 1♀ with same label data as holotype (BMNH).

Diagnosis.

Frons and vertex smooth and shiny (Figs 367, 368); clypeus trapezoid (Fig. 367); occipital margin with a sharp carina (Fig. 368); midlobe of mesoscutum with a weakly indicated longitudinal groove in posteromedian ⅓ (Fig. 365); dorsellum concave and sharply margined (Fig. 365); propodeum with strong sculpture in median part, otherwise smooth and without longitudinal carinae (Fig. 365); petiole 0.7 × as long as wide with irregular sculpture, narrows off in anterior part; forewing speculum small (Fig. 387). Similar to Omphale obscura but with antennal scrobes joining frontal suture separately in female (Fig. 367), forecoxa dark brown, mid- and hind coxae yellowish brown (Fig. 384); admarginal setae 9, arising mainly from marginal vein; propodeum without longitudinal carinae.

Propodeum dark brown metallic (Fig. 386), with strong sculpture in median part, otherwise smooth and without longitudinal carinae (Fig. 365); propodeal callus with two setae. Legs yellowish brown (Fig. 384); forecoxa dark brown; midleg with first tarsomere 0.3 × as long as length of tarsus. Forewing transparent, veins yellowish brown, setae dark brown (Fig. 387); speculum closed; admarginal setae 9, arising mainly from marginal vein; radial cell setose; postmarginal vein 0.6 × as long as stigmal vein, stigmal vein long and slender; marginal fringe with hairs as long as length of stigmal vein.
