Female body ( Fig. 301 View FIGURES 300 – 303 ) generally yellow, with some brown; antenna ( Fig. 300 View FIGURES 300 – 303 ) with flagellum black. Occipital sulcus longer than wide. Propodeum ( Fig. 302 View FIGURES 300 – 303 ) with submedian carinae fine, straight, parallel, almost extending to dorsellum anteriorly. Wings as in Fig. 303 View FIGURES 300 – 303 , forewing without a cubital row of setae.

Distribution. NEOTROPICAL*: Mexico ( Sinaloa). NEARCTIC: USA. Huber (1988) mentioned occurrence of this species in Mexico without providing further details on its distribution there.
