Description

Female

SIZE. Body length 6.0– 11.5 mm, fore wing 3.0– 5.5 mm, ovipositor sheath 1.3–2.3 mm ( Fig. 7B ).

COLOUR. Body brown; vertical orbit, stripes between median and lateral lobes of mesoscutum, scutellum, fore leg, middle femUr apically, middle tibia basally and apically, first metasomal tergite in anterior ¾ often yellowish. Tergites 2–7 black; tergite 7 often with narrow triangular reddish yellow pattern on posterior margin ( Fig. 7B ).

HEAD. Antenna with 23–27 flagellomeres. Ocelli small, diameter of lateral ocellUs shorter than distance between lateral ocellus and margin of the eye ( Fig. 6A ). Frons rugose with distinct median vertical ridge, with transverse striae beside vertical ridge. Clypeus width 1.6 × its height, without pair of lateromedian apical teeth. Inner eye orbits convergent ventrally. Lower part of face not elongate, width between eyes across clypeal suture about 1.3 × length from antennal insertion to apex of clypeal margin medially ( Fig. 6B ). Temple weakly swollen in middle, constricted behind eyes, about 0.66 × as wide as compound eye in lateral view ( Fig. 6C ).

MESOSOMA. Pronotum without impunctate area behind epomia. Epomia strong, upper end of epomia reaching dorsal pronotal margin. Mesopleuron rugose ( Fig. 6D ). Epicnemial carina broken at level of sternaulus (with branch to lower posterior corner of pronotum). Metapleuron rugose. Mesoscutum rugose ( Fig. 6E ). Scutellum rugose. Propodeum reticulate-rugose ( Fig. 6F ). Fore wing with r-rs weakly curved near pterostigma. Marginal cell length about 2.0 × its distance from end of wing ( Fig. 7A ).

METASOMA. First tergite 0.9 × as long as second tergite. Second tergite 1.4 × as long as third tergite. Sclerotized part of first sternite extending to posterior third of segment. Postpetiole convex. Spiracle circular, small. Ovipositor weakly down-curved, with distinct subapical notch. Ovipositor sheath about 1.2 × as long as hind tibia.

Variation

Mesosoma mainly black or brown with large black spot on the middle of mesopleuron.

General distribution
