Spitz leg.; MZSP. Description Female BODY LENGTH. 15 mm. HEAD. Posterior margin almost straight. Occipital carina evenly arched and slightly swollen laterally. Vertex width 0.75× pronotal width. Eye almost circular, its length in frontal view almost equal to distance from its ventral margin to mandibular condyle. Head densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate to areolate-punctate, less densely so on malar space. Genal carina well defined. Mandible oblique, tapering slightly towards apex with small subapical tooth. Dorsal scrobal carina present, well defined, narrowly disconnected from antennal tubercles. Lateral scrobal carina almost absent. Antennal tubercle coarsely and irregularly rugose. Flagellomere 1 2.6× pedicel length; flagellomere 2 1.9× pedicel length. MESOSOMA. Length 0.8 × width. Mesosomal dorsum mostly concealed by dense setation, densely and coarsely areolate-punctate with apparent sharp to scabrous intervals where visible. Anterior surface of propodeum defined, short, slightly shorter than pronotal collar, coarsely striated longitudinally throughout with dense coarse punctures dorsad; dorsal surface rounded into anterior surface in lateral view. Humeral carina well defined, slightly projected dorsally, broadly separated from conspicuously projected 195 angulate epaulet; anterolateral corners of pronotum sharply angulate in dorsal view. Pronotal spiracle slightly projected from lateral margin of pronotum, rounded, bulging. Lateral surface of pronotum sparsely punctate with dense micropunctures except at smooth conspicuous subacute tubercle anterior to pronotal spiracle, distance between tubercles wider than distance between pronotal spiracles; mesopleuron mostly concealed by dense setation, densely micropunctate anteriorly, and densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate to areolate-punctate on mesopleural ridge where visible; metapleuron completely concealed by dense setation, except small posterior area on dorsal fourth unsculptured, smooth and shining. Lateral surface of propodeum mostly concealed by dense setation, densely and coarsely areolate-punctate throughout with interspersed micropunctures where visible; intervals dull and blunt where visible. Ratios of width of humeral angles, pronotal spiracles, widest point of mesonotum, narrowest point of mesonotum and propodeum posterior to propodeal spiracles, 70: 83: 87:60: 60. Lateral margin of mesonotum conspicuously constricted anterior to propodeal spiracle, strongly diverging anterad, medially projected, into blunt process; post-mesonotal tubercle absent. Propodeal spiracle strongly projected from lateral margin of mesosoma; postspiracular area indistinguishable. Scutellar scale present, as wide or wider than surrounding sculpture; anterolateral carinae present, approximately twice as wide as scutellar scale; scabrous intervals vestigial on scutellar area. Propodeum simply convex, dorsal surface indistinguishable from posterior surface. METASOMA. Ratios of width of T1, width of T2 and length of T2, 28: 64: 67. Disc of T2 mostly concealed by dense setation, densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate to punctate with dense, interspersed coarse micropunctures where visible; sculpture sparser and micropunctures absent laterally and over integumental spots. T3–5 sculpture predominantly concealed by dense setation, densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate to simply punctate with interspersed micropunctures where visible; T6, except pygidial plate, almost concealed by dense setation, densely foveolate-punctate where visible. S1 sparsely, coarsely and confusedly foveolate-punctate, surface cuneiform, ending in short blunt longitudinal carina, slightly higher medially. S2 densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate, sculpture conspicuously sparser posteromediad; anteromedial crest-fold present. S3–5 sculpture mostly concealed by dense setation, densely and finely foveolate-punctate with sparse micropunctures where visible; S6 sparsely foveolate-punctate. Pygidial plate subpyriform, defined by lateral carinae at apical fourth of plate; surface irregularly rugose; interstice apparently granulose. Male BODY LENGTH. 14–16 mm. HEAD. Transversely subrectangular with posterolateral angles rounded in dorsal view; lateral margins of head convergent immediately behind eyes, but not contiguous with eye outline in dorsal view. Width 0.85 × pronotal width. Eye almost circular. Ocelli small; OOD 4.3× DLO, IOD 1.0× DLO. Occipital carina distinct. Head surface sparsely and finely punctate; sculpture sparser and finer posterad. Gena ecarinate. Antennal scrobe concave to eye margin, with well-defined transverse dorsal scrobal carina. Clypeus concave laterally immediately below antennal insertion, conspicuously convex medially; densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate medially and along apical/ventral margin laterally; apical/ ventral margin with a pair of medial short subacute free teeth medially. Scape bicarinate. Flagellomere 1 2.1 × pedicel length; flagellomere 2 2.9× pedicel length. Mandible obliquely tridentate apically, medial tooth smaller than inner tooth; lacking dorsal or ventral projections. MESOSOMA. Epaulets well defined, sharply projected from anterior margin of pronotum, separated from well-defined humeral carina, anterolateral corners of pronotum not angulate.Anterior surface of pronotum, with sparse fine punctures laterad with interspersed micropunctures, mostly unsculptured mediad; with medial longitudinal slightly concave smooth area. Tegula convex, mostly glabrous and impunctate except for dense coarse punctures along inner and anterior margin. Dorsum of pronotum densely and coarsely foveolate-punctate to areolate-punctate with somewhat sharp intervals. Mesoscutum densely and finely foveolate-punctate, parapsis reduced to posterior half of mesoscutum, notaulus absent. Scutellum sloping throughout, somewhat depressed medially, without defined dorsal and posterior surfaces, densely and coarsely areolate-punctate to foveolate-punctate; anterior intervals somewhat aligned so as to form vestigial irregular longitudinal carina medially. Axilla produced posterolaterally as obliquely truncate projection, with inner margin slightly curved inward apicad in dorsal view; projection coarsely foveolate-punctate basad, unsculptured, smooth, shining apicad. Metanotum slightly wider laterad, its surface obscured by dense setation. Propodeal dorsum convex, mostly concealed, densely areolate; sculpture of lateral surface absent along most of anterior margin; dorsal surface indistinguishable from posterior surface. Lateral surface of pronotum sparsely and vestigially punctate with sparse interspersed micropunctures; mesopleura with conspicuous blunt projection on dorsal half; sculpture densely and coarsely areolate with interspersed micropunctures to simply micropunctate anterad. Metapleuron partially concealed by dense setation, micropunctate where visible, except basal third densely and coarsely areolate. WINGS. Forewing with elongate sclerotized pterostigma; marginal cell elongated, roundly truncate apically; three submarginal cells. LEGS. Simply setose, no strong spines discernible dorsally; spurs finely serrate on margins. METASOMA. T1 0.5 × as wide as T2. T2 0.9× a
