Diagnosis

Interocellar area reddish brown; clypeus flat to weakly convex, ventral margin acute; mandible twisted 20°–30°, outer surface without a diagonal setose groove; fore wing fenestra with proximal and distal sclerites; metapleuron puncto-striate; propodeal spiracle not joining lateral carina by a raised flange.

Material examined

VIETNAM • 1 ♀; Hoa Binh Province, Yen Thuy, Lac Thinh ; 10–20 Oct. 2002; Khuat D.L. leg.; Malaise trap; IEBR • 1 ♀; same collection data as for preceding; 20–30 Oct. 2002; IEBR • 2 ♂♂; Bac Kan Province, Ba Be NP ; 22°23′ N, 105°37′ E; 200 m a.s.l.; 3 May 2006; R. Matsumoto leg.; OMNH • 2 ♀♀, 1 ♂; Thai Nguyen Province, Dai Tu, Cat Ne ; 25–30 Oct. 2007; Khuat D.L. leg.; Malaise trap; IEBR • 1 ♀; same collection data as for preceding; 15–20 Nov. 2007; IEBR .

Remarks

Vietnamese specimens have fore wing length 10.4–12.5 mm and AI = 0.41–0.84, smaller than those of specimens examined by Gauld & Mitchell (1981), whereas their faces are wider (0.73–0.78× as broad as long vs 0.65–0.70 ×).
