Description.

Female. Length of fore wing 18-19 mm; body 26-28 mm; ovipositor 35-36 mm. Malar space about 0.45 times as long as basal width of mandible. Inner orbits slightly converging ventrally (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ). Occipital carina interrupted medially. Apical flagellomeres tapered and distal end truncate narrowly. Antenna with 33 flagellomeres. Pronotum with strongly impressed and transversely striate groove from epomia to ventroposterior corner; area dorsal to this groove rather strongly and densely punctate, slightly rugose. Mesoscutum in front of scuto-scutellar groove 1.4 times as long as wide in dorsal view (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 ). Mesopleuron moderately punctate, rather densely covered with pubescence (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ); epicnemial carina present ventrally; mesopleural suture transversely striate. Propodeum rugosely punctate, transversely striate dorsomedially, without lateromedian longitudinal carina; posterior transverse carinae very weak and incomplete (Fig. 2D View Figure 2 ). Hind wing with eleven distal hamuli. Fore tibia with 10 stout spines on dorsal surface and two stout spines on distal end. Hind coxa elongate, 3.1 times as long as maximum width. First metasomal tergite broadened posteriorly in dorsal aspect, 4.1 times as long as posteriorly broad; slightly narrowed a little posterior to spiracle (Fig. 2G View Figure 2 ); first metasomal tergite with spiracle at anterior 0.41. Posterior end of first metasomal sternite at posterior 0.44 between spiracle and posterior end of first metasomal tergite (Fig. 2E View Figure 2 ). Second to fourth tergites sparsely covered with fine punctures.

Coloration. Body largely reddish yellow to brown. Face with narrow yellow stripe, extending along inner orbit to top of eye (Fig. 2B View Figure 2 ). Clypeus yellowish brown. Apical half of mandible black. Frons with black spots behind antennal sockets (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 ). Vertex with black line from ocelli area to occipital carina. Temple reddish brown (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ). Pronotum reddish brown with black elongate markings next to antero-lateral and postero-lateral margins, with upper margin yellow posteriorly. Mesoscutum reddish brown with pairs of longitudinal yellow and black spots; median lobe of mesoscutum reddish brown with black spot and yellow longitudinal spots (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 ). Mesopleuron reddish brown with large yellow spot, upper part of speculum black (Fig. 2A View Figure 2 ). Mesosternum black. Scutellum and postscutellum yellow (Fig. 2C View Figure 2 ). Propodeum reddish brown with black spots anteriorly. Metapleuron reddish brown with anterior margin blackish, with yellow spot below pleural carina. Legs reddish brown. Tibia and tarsus paler. Fore coxa with darkened spots ventrally. Mid and hind coxae with darkened spots dorsally. Wings hyaline, slightly tinged with brown; pterostigma brown, without faint brownish spots around junction of cu-a and Cu1, and on Rs+2r below pterostigma. Metasomal tergites brown to reddish brown. Ovipositor dark brown, sheath black.

Male. Unknown.

Distribution.

South Korea.

Region.

Eastern Palaearctic.

Etymology.

The species is named after Mt. Sobaek National Park, where the holotype specimen was collected.

Remarks.

This new species is similar to R. maculata ( Sheng and Sun 2010), but can be distinguished from by the meso- and metapleuron reddish brown with large yellow spots (evenly reddish brown without yellow spots in R. maculata ); upper part of speculum and mesosternum black (evenly reddish brown in R. maculata ); second metasomal tergite about 1.85 times as long as its apical width (about 2.6 times as long as apical width in R. maculata ); first metasomal tergite short, 1.5 times as long as second tergite (first metasomal tergite 2.0 times as long as second tergite in R. maculata ).
