A habitus, dorsal view B head, dorsal view C mesosoma, dorsal view D head, front view E fore and hind wings F mesosoma, dorsal view G basal segments of antenna H metasoma, dorsal view. Scale bar 0.5 mm.  Distribution. China (Henan, Shaanxi).  Diagnosis. The new species is similar to Ontsira igneaRatzeburg, but differs in having the vertex coarsely rugose-striate entirely or almost entirely, the first flagellar segment shorter, the second tarsal segment of hind leg distinctly longer than fifth segment (without pretarsus), and the mesoscutum coarsely rugose-granulate.It resembles Ontsira robustasp. n., but their differences are listed after the description of Ontsira robusta.
