20(19). Mesoscutum brownish black with two longitudinal orange stripes ( Fig. 11E ); pronotum black, dorsally yellow banded ( Fig. 11D ); propodeum black with relatively narrow lateral longitudinal white bands ( Fig. 11F ). Epomia strong and short, vertical ( Fig. 11C , arrow). Fore wing with vein cu-a clearly distal to Rs & M ( Fig. 11G ). Propodeum densely rugulose punctate above pleural sulcus ( Fig. 11F ). Ovipositor relatively short, 1.30–1.35× as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath 1.10–1.15× as long as hind tibia ( Fig. 11J ).............................................. 7.

-. Mesoscutum mostly orange, dark orange, reddish or dark brown, longitudinal stripes if present, white cream (e.g. Figs 16E , 22E ); pronotum predominantly black or black and red, dorsally and ventrally with white cream bands (e.g. Figs 16D , 22D ); propodeum extensively white laterally (e. g. Figs 16D , 22G ). Epomia as a very short inconspicuous carina or tubercle at the bottom of the submarginal depression of pronotum or absent (e.g. Figs 16D , 22C ). Fore wing with vein cu-a opposite to Rs & M (e.g. Figs 16F , 22H ). Propodeum smooth and shiny above pleural sulcus (e.g. Figs 16D , 22G ). Ovipositor relatively longer, 1.8–2.3× as long as hind tibia. Ovipositor sheath 1.6–2.0× as long as hind tibia................................... 21
