6'. Brachypterous forms very rare, but if brachypterous then propodeum without laminar flanges overhanging metacoxae, without tooth posterior to spiracle, and face without shiny black scrobes contrasting with orangish head and body. [Some species Miotropis with similar coloration, but they are macropterous.]
