Clypeus clearly separated from face, impressed, with a deep median notch on apical margin. Mandible basally strongly tapered, apically rather weakly tapered; mandible base oblique, about 28–34 ° from vertical axis of face, ventral mandibular tooth conspicuously longer than dorsal tooth. Palpal formula 5: 4. Occipital carina complete but rather weak. Mesosoma polished with sparse and weak punctures. Epomia weak or absent. Mesoscutum mostly bare, with notauli weakly impressed. Epicnemial carina reaching the level of the middle of the posterior margin of the pronotum. Scutellum convex, without lateral carinae. Propodeum moderately long and rather evenly declivous in profile, with complete pleural carina and posteriorly with short, stub-like lateral longitudinal carina. Submetapleural carina complete. Flattened bristles on foretibia short and stout, numbering about 5–14. Forewing vein 3 rs-m with two bullae, enclosing an obliquely trapezoidal areolet, and cu-a opposite base of Rs &amp; M. Hindwing with abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a straight and about long as cu-a. First tergite depressed, almost impunctate, and lacks latero-median carinae. Second tergite large, longer than first tergite, with latero-basal, oblique grooves extending to 0.6 length of tergite or more, and with posterior transverse grooves. Tergites 3–5 with smooth latero-median tubercles. Female with ovipositor cylindric, about 4 × as long as hind tibia, apically downcurved; ventral valve does not meaningfully enclose the dorsal valve; apex of ventral valve bearing many strong teeth, with a disproportionately large gap between the basal and the second most basal tooth.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/46738F0CFA985FBFAB6C8139B88224AE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

This species is also distinctly smaller than its only known congeners: X. oculatus and X. schoutedeni .</p><p>Description.</p><p>Female: forewing length about 6.6 mm. Head polished. Malar space about 0.3 × as long as basal mandibular width; mandible base oblique, about 34 ° from vertical axis of face. Lower face about 1.2 × as wide as medially high, bearing very weak setiferous punctures. Flagellum with 21 flagellomeres; F 1 about 1.35 × as long as F 2. Head, in dorsal view, with gena evenly rounded behind eye. Lateral ocellus separated from compound eye by about 1.25 × its own maximum diameter; ocelli forming a subequilateral triangle, with distance between anterior and posterior ocellus about 0.7 × of distance between posterior ocelli. Mesosoma polished. Pronotum mostly bare, with very weak epomia. Mesoscutum bare except for short, sparse hairs on margins. Mesopleuron mostly bare, with short, sparse hairs ventrally and near dorsal margin. Metapleuron bare except for short, sparse hairs on margin at posterior side. Propodeum in profile rather evenly and strongly declivous, dorsally bare, laterally bearing very weak setiferous punctures. Hindwing with abscissa of Cu 1 between M and cu-a about 1.1 × as long as cu-a. Metasoma polished. Tergite 1 in profile rather low, evenly declivous on basal 2 / 3 and rather flat on apical 1 / 3, smooth on declivous part, otherwise with short, sparse hairs, about 1.4 × as long as apically broad. Tergite 2 with weak setiferous punctures on median more or less triangular area, delineated by lateral oblique grooves extending from the anterior margin to about 0.6 length of tergite, and rather weak posterior transverse grooves, setiferous punctures outside median area comparably dense and strong except for on smooth posterior band, about 0.95 × as long as apically broad. Tergites 3–5 covered with rather dense and strong setiferous punctures except for on smooth posterior band and on nearly smooth latero-median tubercles. Ovipositor projecting beyond apex of metasoma by about 4.0 × length of hindtibia, shaft straight, followed by downcurved apical part; apex of ventral valve bearing about 14 teeth, progressively becoming weaker and more oblique from the apex towards the base, with a disproportionately large gap between the basal and second most basal teeth, approximately twice the distance between the second and third most basal teeth.</p><p>Colour: head yellow-orange with black mandibular teeth, ocellar area to central occiput and antenna except for yellow apex of apical flagellomere. Mesosoma yellow-orange with stub-like lateral longitudinal carinae on posterior propodeum black; foreleg yellow; midleg blackish with yellow coxa, femur and dorsal trochanter, and trochantellus; hindleg black with yellow-orange basal margin of coxa, dorsal trochantellus and dorso-basal patch on femur; wings uncoloured with forewing infumate distal of blackish pterostigma, encompassing a weakly yellowish apical patch, and hindwing weakly infumate in apical fourth. Metasoma blackish with white membranous areas of sternites.</p><p>Male. Unknown.</p><p>Etymology.</p><p>This species is named in honour of the first author’s wife, Iida Österman, who has shown interest in her husband’s work on Darwin wasps.</p><p>Distribution.</p><p>Uganda.</p><p>Biological notes.</p><p>The host (s) are unknown but could be wood-boring insects judging by the similarity of the ovipositor to Dolichomitus . The specimens were mainly caught in primary or to a lesser extent disturbed forest, with few caught in clearcut former plantations and none outside the forest in farmland. However, the sample sizes are too low to tell if this apparent preference for undisturbed forest is a genuine pattern (manuscript in prep). Considerably more were caught during the dry seasons than the wet seasons (22 versus 7 specimens), which is a very common pattern in the (Malaise-trapped) Ugandan material.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7A8BE57E47EC57AC914B8C05EDAAC8C8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
