Remarks. Examined material from Mexico exactly corresponds with the description of this species by Townes & Townes (1960). According to the description by Gauld (1991), tergites 1–3 of metasoma are elongate (first tergite 1.3×, second tergite 1.2×, and third tergite 1.1× as long as maximally broad), whereas in our material tergites 1 and 2 are 0.8–1.0× as long as broad, and tergite 3 is always distinctly transverse (less than 0.8× as long as broad).
Variation. One female from Querétaro possesses upper tooth of mandible somewhat longer than the lower tooth. In other specimens mandibular teeth are more or less equal by length.
Distribution. USA (Arizona), Mexico (Chihuahua, Coahuila, Tamaulipas, Nuevo León, Durango, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro, Michoacán, D.F., Hidalgo), El Salvador, Costa Rica.
Biology. Reared in USA from Anthonomus grandis thurberiae Pierce (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), from bolls of Gossypium thurberi Todaro (Malvaceae) and from galls of Disholcaspis sp. (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) on Quercus oblongifolia Torrey (Townes & Townes 1960). Reared from the seed of Quercus sp. in Costa Rica (Gauld 1991) and from Cydia caryana (Fitch) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in Mexico.
