Description
Small stocky wasps with a sitting abdomen (males from 4.6 to 6.0 mm long, females from 4.4 to 7.1 mm), the main color is black, the tips of the mandibles are yellowish-brown, the body is covered with silver bristles. It differs from closely related species by the following features: narrow vertex and cheeks; small body sizes; semi-bristled setae on cheeks; tegulae not protruding back beyond the leading edge of the axillus; propopdeum without longitudinal keel; forehead matte with small punctures. The inner edges of the eyes are bordered by the keel, the attachment point of the antennae is in contact with the frontoclypeal suture. Wings with 3 submarginal (radio-medial) cells, the second of which is stalked [1] . Presumably, like other species, they catch spiders , and the nests are located in the finished cavities (xylophage passages, in branches, or from clay) [1] [2] [3] . The species was first described in 2018 during an audit conducted by the American hymenopterologist Wojciech Pulawski ( Wojciech J. Pulawski ; California Academy of Sciences , San Francisco , USA ) [1] .
