| Both males and females have green-black specula, with pale blue patches on the forewing. |
| Note that the left forewing of the recipient wasp has been bent away from her body by the biter. |
| Size was assessed by measuring the length from the apex to insertion of the left forewing to the nearest 0.5 mm. |
| Apparent in flight, the speculum, or wing-patch, is dark iridescent-green, looking black at times, with white on the forewing. |
| The feathers fan out from the forewing into a gently rounded profile, while the forewing itself rises into an arching swell. |
| We recorded pronotum length, mean hind femur length, mean forewing length, and mean hindwing length for each individual. |
