D e s c r i p t i o n:3. 8-10 mm. Head and mesosoma black. Metasomal segments I-III red, IV-VII brown, dark brown to black, proximal sterna often more or less black. Mandible completely black or with reddish middle. Coxae and trochanters black, femora black with red apex, tibiae and tarsi red. Face and frons with dense white setation. Clypeus and frons densely punctate, dull, with smooth spot in front of anterior ocellus. Middle clypeal lobe distinctly protruding beyond lateral lobe, anterior margin straight. Gena smooth and shiny, with shallow punctures and white setae. Lower margin of mandible simple. Antennomeres I-II on inner side with white setae, III about 4.0-4.2× as long as apically wide; IV-IX in profile slightly concave basally; tyloids carinate, with pale tubercles basally and distally (Fig. 29). Mesoscutum and mesopleuron dull, rugose-punctate, completely covered with dense white pubescence. Mesoscutellum densely punctate, with large smooth and shiny anteromedian spot. Propodeal dorsum irregularly reticulate, glabrous. Declivity and lateral surface of propodeum rugose-punctate, with long white setae. Metasomal tergum I and all sterna with long white setae; hairbrush beginning on sternum III, central setae about half as long as lateral ones; the latter about as long as those on sterna II-III ( Fig. 39 View Figs 37-46 ). Coxae unmodified, hindtrochanter with short triangular process, both with long white setae. Longest ventral setae of hindfemur at least about as long as maximal femur diameter. Forewing weakly yellowish tinged, apical margin hyaline, marginal cell about as 2.8-3.5× as long as wide.
♀. 8-10 mm. Head and mesosoma black, tegula and basal sclerites of forewing brown. Metasoma red. Mandible yellowish red, apex and base black. Antennomeres I-II and base of III brown. Legs including tip of coxae red. Clypeus and face with dense appressed pubescence, masking the surface. Frons between anterior ocellus and eye as well as area between posterior ocelli densely punctate, dull ( Fig. 94 View Figs 85-94 ). Vertex shiny, densely punctate behind posterior ocelli, with smooth and shiny median stripe. Outer orbits glabrous, smooth and impunctate; occiput densely punctate with long and dense white setation. Antennomeres I-II on inner side with white setae; III about 3.2× as long as apically wide. Mesoscutum dull, densely punctate, posteromedian with large smooth and shiny spot ( Fig. 96 View Figs 95-106 ). Mesoscutellum smooth and shiny, densely punctate laterally and posteriorly. Mesopleuron and propodeum dull, rugose. Stigmal area of propodeum straight. Mesosoma except propodeal dorsum with long and dense white pubescence. Metasomal terga with microsculpture, without punctures. Pygidial plate finely granulate, lateral margin straight. Tergum I and sterna with white setae. Femora and tibiae with exceptionally long white setae, longest ventral setae of hindfemur about as long as maximal femur diameter. Forebasitarsus with four rake spines, ventrally with nine spines evenly prolonged to the apex of tarsomere. Midbasitarsus straight, ventrally with successively longer spine row. Forewing brownish darkened, apically with darker brown spot, marginal cell about 2.5× as long as wide.
