Mesosoma in lateral view twice as long as high. Pronotum anteriorly faintly emargined, notaulix distinct (Fig. 119). Prcscutellar sulcus finely crenulate. Precoxal suture absent. Spiracle beyond middle of lateral margin of propodeum. Pronotum, mesonotum, mesoplcuron and propodeum polished. - Pegs of fore tibia as in Fig. 125. Hind femur four times as long as broad medially. I lind basitarsus nearly half as long as hind tibia (4:10) and as long as tarsomeres 2-A. Claws without basal lobe though strongly broadened basally (Fig. 126). Fore wing as long as body. Pterostigma (Fig. 127) 4.2 times as long as wide, issuing radial vein (r) from its middle, r one-third as long as 3-SR, latter vein as long as 4-SR, 4-SR approaching tip of wing: second submarginal cell moderately long, i.e. 3-SR 1.66 times as long as 2-SR. I-SRM almost straight (Fig. 117, sec vertical arrow). - Hind wing: 2-SC-R very short (Fig. 128, sec arrow). Metasoma about as long as head + mesosoma combined, mcrinotoid in form, i.e. long and narrow (cf. QuiCKE 1984). First tergite (Fig. 122) almost twice as long as broad behind, moderately and evenly broadening posteriorly; scutum clearly raised upwards, rugose and with a faint mid-longitudinal keel. Second tergite trapeziform. 1.35 times as broad behind as long medially, mid-basal field switching posteriorly in a carina, tergite laterally sulciform impressed. Suture between tergites 2-3 bisinuate and finely crenulate. Third tergite transverse, 2.2 times as broad behind as long medially, its hind margin concave. Second tergite medially (or laterally from field + carina) rugo-rugulose, third tergite medially subrugulose to uneven, otherwise together with further tergites smooth and shiny. Hypopygium pointed. Ovipositor sheath one-third longer than body; posterior end of ovipositor feebly downcurved, dorsally with a notch and ventrally finely serrate (Fig. 129). Ground colour of body ochre yellow. Scape and pedicel ochre yellow, flagellum greyish brown. Face and temple yellow. Mandible apically black. Palpi yellow. Legs faintly ochre yellow. Fore wing tricolourcd: proximally yellow, medially blackish brown, its distal half brown, first submarginal cell with transparent window; pterostigma blackish brown, basally yellow (Fig. 127). Male and host unknown. Distribution - Moluccas (Indonesia). Remarks - Quickeos luteus (SZEPLIGETI) is nearest to Paxillibracon tessmanni (SZEPLIGETI, 1914) (Equatorial Africa). Their specific distinction is presented in a key as follows: Figs 122-129. Quickeos Inletts (SZEPLIGETI): 122 = tergites 1-3, 123 = head in dorsal view, i 24 = scape, pedicel and flagellomeres 1-2. 125 = pegs of fore tibia. 126 = hind claw, 127 = distal part of right fore wing, 128 = costcllan vein (2-SC-R) of hind wing, 129 = posterior end of ovipositor
