MALE. Unknown.

Distribution. Australia (Tasmania, South Australia, Western Australia, New South Wales).

Variation. Body length 5.29–7.42 mm; LFW 3.10–4.53 mm; mandible ranging in color from castaneous to dark castaneous almost black; clypeus angulate to subangulate, but slightly medially emarginated; Rs b of forewing almost straight; discal carina of propodeal disc short (shorter than half length of disc) to long (longer than half length of disc).

Remarks. This species was originally describeb by Dodd (1916). However, this species was redescribed and illustrated by Terayama (2004). He also broadend the known distribution considerably, since the species was hitherto known only from the holotype. Here, we got 53 specimens.
