The new species is similar to Hartemita latipes Cameron, but differs by having the mesoscutum brownish-yellow near the notauli (Fig. 93) (completely black near the notauli in Hartemita latipes; Fig. 89); OOL yellow (Fig. 91) (black in Hartemita latipes; Fig. 87); the ovipositor sheath yellowish-brown (dark brown in Hartemita latipes); the anterior transverse carina of the propodeum coarsely developed (moderately to weakly developed in Hartemita latipes); the mesosternum and the mesopleuron of female yellowish-brown (largely black in Hartemita latipes) and the tarsal claws with 4–5 large teeth (Fig. 32) and 0–2 small teeth (2–3 (rarely 4) large teeth and 3–4 small teeth in Hartemita latipes). Description. Holotype, female, body length 8.0 mm, fore wing length 7.6 mm, antenna 7.8 mm. Head. Antennal segments: 43 (paratypes: 41, 42 (2) or 43); third antennal segment 1.4 times as long as fourth; length of third, fourth and penultimate segments 1.9, 1.6, 2.0 times their width respectively; clypeal margin convex medio-ventrally (Fig. 29); epistomial suture distinct, curved; width of face 1.3 times height of eye; malar space equal to basal width of mandible; in dorsal view head width 2.3 times its median length; occiput weakly concave (fig. 30); temple behind eyes almost perpendicular posteriorly (Figs 30, 97); length of temple 0.9 times as long as transverse diameter of eye; OOL:POL:OD = 16:8:6; frons concave; eye glabrous; laterally length of eye twice its width and 0.75 times temple. Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.3 times its height; pronotal trough shiny and smooth as surroundings; notauli shallow and smooth; scutellar sulcus with 3 cross-carinae; scutellum, mesopleuron and mesosternum shiny and smooth; precoxal sulcus crenulate anteriorly and smooth posteriorly; metapleuron smooth anteriorly and rugose posteriorly; median arch of metanotum with lateral cross-carinae (Fig. 33); propodeum largely rugose. Wings. Length of fore wing 2.7 times its maximum width; pterostigma length 3.2 times its median width; vein r arising near middle of pterostigma; r:2-SR:3-SR = 13:20:35; length of second submarginal cell of fore wing 3.5 times its width; vein 1-CU1 0.4 times vein 2-CU1; vein 3-SR joining vein SR1 at 100° (Fig. 31). Length of hind wing 4.3 times its width; vein M+CU 0.3 times vein 1-M. Legs. Length of hind femur 4.2 times its width; hind basitarsus flattened, not broadly laminate and not produced apically, its width 0.9 times distal width of hind tibia; length of hind basitarsus 3.75 times as long as its width (Figs 34, 100); hind tarsal segments 2–5 not shortened, 0.8 times as long as hind basitarsus (Fig. 100); inner hind tibial spur 0.7 times as long as hind basitarsus; outer side of hind tibia with long sparse spines; hind claw with 5 large teeth and 1 small tooth (Fig. 32). Metasoma. Metasoma 1.2 times length of mesosoma dorsally; second tergite 0.8 times as long as third segment; ovipositor sheath very short, round apically; ovipositor curved. Colour. Body yellow; antenna brown; scapus dark brown laterally; frons, stemmaticum black; vertex black posteriorly; lateral and middle lobes of mesoscutum, mesosternum black; wings brown, but parastigma yellow; apex of fore wing (behind vein r-m) darker; near apex of hind coxa with a large black spot; trochantellus, basal ring of hind tibia, apex of hind basitarsus and remainder of hind tarsus dark brown; basal corner of second metasomal tergite and fourth and fifth tergites black apically. Male. Body length 7.0–7.8 mm, fore wing length 6.8–8.3 mm, antenna 7.8–8.4 mm; antennal segments 40–44.
