Female with frontal facets moderately enlarged (J92 Fig. 2 C); frons strongly narrowed, at narrowest point 1.0–1.5 times diameter of largest frontal facet; flagellum dark brown; legs dark brown but base of femora may be paler; pulvilli of all legs of same size, shorter than distitarsus; hairs on femora, thorax and abdomen dark brown; hind femur with apical hairs of pdsr extending as far as apex; abdominal tergites dark brown; ovipositor as in Fig. 59.

Annotations: Originally described from the female only (holotype and Greek paratype studied), the male can be assigned for the first time here. The taxon is Chalarus spec. A in Kehlmaier (2003), where it was briefly discussed. The species can readily be identified by its terminalia in both sexes. No host records are known.
