clypeus (Figs 2, 3) with ventral
margin very thick and blunt; with small, thin, rounded
tooth laterally in female, this absent in male;
clypeus divided into dorsal and vental halves, the ventral portion somewhat reflected medially, with convex
margin;
epistomal sulcus distinct,
clypeus in profile distinctly protruding. malar space (
1,
2) nearly absent.
mandible with ventral
tooth longer than dorsal
tooth. Ocelli small,
lateral ocellus distinctly shorter than distance between
ocellus and
eye.
maxillary palp not exceptionally long, shorter than
head height; female antennae about as long as
body;
first flagellomere with small tyloid (
1) containing 15 or fewer sensilla.
hypostomal carina joining
occipital carina well before base of
mandible;
occipital carina complete. Dorsal end of
epicnemial carina distant from anterior
margin of mesopleuron (
1,
2).
notaulus short, shallowly but distinctly impressed anteriorly. Small u- to v-shaped groove (
1,
2) or
notch present between propodeum (
1,
2,
3) and
metanotum in lateral view;
pleural carina complete, well-developed; propodeal carinae well-developed, complete, with large, hexagonal areola, though lateral portions of transverse carinae sometimes low and difficult to see (as in Fig. 5). Apex of
mid tibia with small
tooth barely indicated, the apical
rim distinctly more rounded than that of
fore tibia; apex of
hind tibia with poorly developed comb: setae widely spaced, not dense; posterior hind
tibial spur (Fig. 4) relatively short, somewhat triangular, at most 4X longer than maximum width near base; tarsal claws completely pectinate.
fore wing areolet present; Rs+2r arising near middle of
stigma.
hind wing with first
abscissa of CU1 slightly (rarely) to distinctly (commonly) shorter than 1cu-a. T1 (Fig. 5) not long and slender; without dorsal carinae, but with weak median
impression, dorsal surface moderately arched, more flattened posteriorly in male; with small median basal
depression at dorsal
tendon attachment; dorsal-lateral
carina extending from
spiracle to apex of T1 in most males, usually present as short
carina basally and largely absent distally in females; glymmae on each side meeting on the midline posterior to dorsal
tendon attachment, large, deep, separated at midline by translucent partition.
t2 thyridium absent; laterotergites of
t2 and
t3 completely separated by creases.
ovipositor straight, relatively broad at base, with deep subapical
notch;
ovipositor sheath (
1,
2) gradually expanding distally, truncate at apex. Male
parameres strongly excavated ventral-medially but not dorsal-medially, the
parameres thus broad, rectangular in dorsal view, with quadrate
tooth angled ventrally on ventral side (Figs 7, 8);
aedeagus rounded and clubbed distally, supported basally by sclerotized rods.
