Moved

Moved from Stylogaster.

This is a female, and:

1) the relatively short ovipositor (shorter than the abdomen); and
2) the relatively short antennal flagellum (= 3rd segment), which is roughly equal to the length of scape (= basal antennal segment)

each indicate the species here is biannulata.
