Notes:
Dark insect with broad emarginations on T6&7, and hairy eyes.
Of the various propodeum figures, this most resembles Horstmann’s figure of ancilla. Unfortunately there’s no description of the female. There’s another species called nigra that Dbar doesn’t mention for some reason. The description compares it to ancilla. It would be premature to put a name to this without comparing it to reference material but it seems closest to australis/ancilla.
