Diagnosis. Pterostigma evenly brown throughout; wing membrane hyaline; metacarp distinctly longer than pterostigma; 1 st discal cell wide, usually one-third, wider than high; antenna longer than body, with two preapical segments of flagellum about one-and-one-third times longer than wide; setose part of ovipositor sheath almost as long as hind tibia; inner spur of hind tibia hardly longer than outer; spines of outer side of hind tibia relatively blunt and paler; T1 distinctly narrowed behind, horizontal surface slightly duller and denser, more even rugosity and lacking smooth, medial furrow; and hypopygium a little less produced.

Material examined. 1♀, Dalian , Liaoning, 1992. IX.5, Lou Juxian, No. 976239 ; 1♀, Mt. Changbai , Jilin, 1994. VIII.4, Lou Juxian, No. 951948 ; 2♀♀, Sanchahe, Xishui , Guizhou, 1994.
