Entirely orange. Forewing with black spot below stigma and black at apex. Head shiny. Mesosoma reticulate, with some fine transverse carinae. Hind coxa with cross striations. Propleuron punctate. Anterior margin of pronotum without anteriorly projecting tooth.

Female:

Length, 11.0 mm; forewing length, 9.5 mm; ovipositor length, 8.0 mm. Color: Orange. Ovipositor sheath black. Wings hyaline, veins and stigma black; forewing with black spot under stigma and black spot at apex. Head: Antennal length 2.1X head width. Lower interocular distance about 1.2X eye height; malar space about 0.3X eye height ( Fig. 169 View Figs 169-172 ). Occipital carina broad, nearly half diameter of an ocellus. From above, straight, then narrowing behind eyes, head behind eyes about 0.6X eye length ( Fig. 170 View Figs 169-172 ). Smooth and shining, with scattered fine white pubescence; vertex and gena with fine punctures, separated by distance of more than puncture diameters ( Fig. 170 View Figs 169-172 ); fine punctures on frons denser than those on vertex and separated by puncture diameters or less ( Fig. 169 View Figs 169-172 ). Mesosoma: Pronotum without anteriorly projecting tooth. Propleuron shining, punctate. Mesonotum ( Fig. 172 View Figs 169-172 ) mostly reticulate; mesoscutellum sculpture in transverse pattern; pleura and propodeum ( Fig. 171 View Figs 169-172 ) mostly reticulate, anterior margin of pronotum and small area on upper metapleuron less reticulate and finely punctate. Hind coxa dull, with transverse carinae, about 2.2X longer than wide ( Fig. 171 View Figs 169-172 ). Tarsal claws with 5 teeth and small basal lobe. Hind basitarsus 1.1X length of remaining tarsal segments combined. Forewing with cells 1M and 1Rs separated by short Rs+M vein (as in Fig. 157 View Figs 152-157 ). Hind with veins faint, cells Cu and R1+Rs separated by vein M (as in Fig. 104 View Figs 102-105 ). Metasoma: Smooth, shining, with fine white pubescence on segments 3 to apex. Ovipositor length about 0.8X forewing length.

Male: Unknown.
