In the key of Graham (1969), it differs from all other species by the following combination of characters: small body length (2 mm), propodeum medially 0.5 × as long as mesoscutellum, ovipositor sheaths projecting well beyond apex of metasoma, combined length of pedicel and flagellum 1.34 × breadth of head, presence of infumation in proximal part of basal cell. In the key of Tselikh (2020), apart from the presence of infumation in proximal part of basal cell, J. aphrodite runs to couplet 2. There, it differs from both species ( J. caudata Kerrich, 1957 and J. kawabatai Tselikh, 2020) by the following combination of characters: basal cell of fore wing pilose apically; costal cell with one complete row of setae; F 1 with one row of sensilla.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/38B6EFC9B7F8523CA7D3DC677E84E4F8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
