Fore wing about as long as body. Pterostigma (Fig. 5) three times as long as wide and issuing r from its middle, r distinctly, i.e. 0.6 times, shorter than width of pterostigma. Second submarginal cell long, 3-SR 1.9 times as long as 2-57?, 4-SR 1.35 times as long as 3-57? and reaching tip of wing. First discal cell long, 1-SR-M 1.75 times as long as l—

M (Fig. 9, see arrows). — Hind wing: subbasal cell as in Fig. 6, cu-a strongly inward (see arrow in figure). First tergite (Fig. 7) 1.4 times as long as broad behind, nearly evenly broadening posteriorly, scutum somewhat protuberant upwards. Second tergite transverse, 3.2 times as broad behind as long medially; suture between tergites 2-3 bisinuate, third tergite just one-fourth longer than second tergite. Tergites polished. Ovipositor sheath long, as long as metasoma or half femur + tibia + tarsus of hind leg combined. Apical end of ovipositopr as in Fig. 10. Body reddish yellow, palpi also reddish yellow, antenna blackish, ovipositor sheath brownish black. Hind tarsus: basitarsus and second tarsomere reddish yellow to light brownish, tarsomeres 3-4 brown to dark brown, 5th tarsomere black. Wings brownish fumous, pterostigma yellow; distal end of carpal vein, parastigma and wing close below parastigma black. Description of the paratypes (17 females). — Similar to the female holotype. Body 5.5-8 mm long (5.5: two females, 6: three females, 6.5: two females, 7: six females, 7.5: two females, 8: two females). Antenna with 36-45 antennomeres (36: one female, 40: two females, 41: two females, 42: two females, 44: one female, 45: one female; antenna of further eight females damaged); flagellomeres of the female with 36 antennomeres somewhat longer than broad, otherwise flagellomeres at most as long as broad. Head in dorsal view 1.75-1.85 times as broad as long (1.75: two females, 1.8: twelve females, 1.85: three females). Eye in dorsal view twice to a bit more than twice as long as temple. In lateral view eye 1.35-1.38 times as high as wide and twice as wide as temple, temple beyond eye evenly wide. Hind femur 3.6-3.8 times as long as broad medially. Pterostigma 2.7-3.3 times, usually three times, as long as wide (2.7: one female, 2.8: five females, 3: ten females, 3.3: one female). 3-SR (1.8-) 1.9-2.1 times, usually 1.9 times, as long as 2-SR, 4-SR 1.3-1.35 times as long as 3-SR. First tergite 1.2-1.4 times, usually 1.4 times, as long as broad behind. Male and host unknown. The new species, Cratocnema juxtacasum, is closely related to C. leve Granger considering their transverse head, first tergite distinctly longer than broad behind and fully yellow body; the two species are distinguished by the features keyed: 1 (2) Temple in dorsal view (Fig. 11) receded, head twice as broad as long. Second submarginal cell short, 4-SR almost twice to fully twice as long as 3-SR, 3-SR clearly less than twice as long as 2-SR (Fig. 12). Second tergite less transverse, 2.5-2.6 times as broad as long medially (Fig. 13). Scape and pedicel yellow, only on their latero-outer side with a black(ish) streak. C. leve Granger 2(1) Temple in dorsal view (Fig. 2) somewhat less receded, head 1.8 times as broad as long. Second submarginal cell long, 4-SR only one-fourth longer than 3-SR, 3-SR almost twice to twice as long as 2-SR (Fig. 5). Second tergite transverse, 3-3.3 times as broad behind as long medially (Fig. 7). Scape and pedicel fully black. C. juxtacasum sp. n.
