Diagnosis
This species can be distinguished from all its congeners by a combination of the following characters: face distinctly broader than high ( Fig. 5A View Fig. 5 ), mesosoma with yellow stripes on mesoscutum anteriorly ( Fig. 5C View Fig. 5 ), metasoma with all tergites extensively pale medially ( Figs 5B–C View Fig. 5 ).
Etymology
The name of the species refers to the characteristic coloration of the metasoma.

HEAD. Antennal flagellum with 25 segments. Scape 1.6 × as long as wide. Head narrowed behind eyes, matte, roundish. Maximum length of temple 0.9 × transverse eye diameter, minimum length 0.6 × transverse eye diameter. Face width 1.1 × height of eye ( Fig. 5A View Fig. 5 ). Face convex, bulging, with granulate sculpture. Clypeus separated from face by impression; clypeal apex strongly projecting anteriorly; apical margin of clypeus moderately obtuse, without shallow notch; clypeal foveae small. Malar space nearly as wide as basal mandible width. Mandible teeth of equal length and width.
MESOSOMA. Mesosoma granulate, matte, impunctate, bearing scattered pale setae ( Fig. 5C View Fig. 5 ). Notaulus absent. Epicnemial carina high, distinctly defined, reaching pronotum. Mesopleuron matte, impunctate. Tarsal claws basally pectinate with small teeth. Fore wing without areolet; R intercepting pterostigma immediately behind its middle; 2 m-cu with a single bulla; cu-a postfurcal. Hind wing with Cu 1& cu-a intercepted below middle; Cu 1 straight, not reaching edge of hind wing. Propodeal and pleural carinae absent ( Fig. 5C View Fig. 5 ).
METASOMA. Metasoma cylindrical, rather shining, granulate, impunctate, with isolated setae ( Fig. 5B View Fig. 5 ). T1 1.5 × as long as wide apically, with shallow median longitudinal impression, and bordered by lateral longitudinal carinae. Hind margin of first metasomal sternite at level of spiracles. T2 transverse. Thyridia absent. Hypopygium triangular in profile. Ovipositor sheath slender, 0.7 × as long as metasomal height.
COLOR. Body mostly dark-brown ( Fig. 5 View Fig. 5 ). Clypeus, anterior lateral edges of mesonotum, fore and middle legs, hind coxa and femur ventrally, and medial part of metasomal tergites all yellowish-brown ( Fig. 5B View Fig. 5 ).
