Thnak you
The reference is not very useful. I've been unable to find a diagram with "basal vein" labelled on it. I think I figured it out, though by comparing the wings to those of M. macrurus

Illustrations
There are illustrations of the wings in the U.S.N.M. pub by Townes and Townes covering the "Ephialtinae, Xoridinae, and Acaenitinae," but even though it is a US government publication, Google Books seems not to have made a PDF available.

Towne and Towne
Thank you for the reference.

If it's the 1960 paper, it's here:

Yes
The quality of the text seems okay, but the reproduction of the Megarhyssa forewing images on page 615 is suboptimal.

better than nothing
though :-)

I just got back from the tree. I collected a single female of each of 3 species and a male. They'll go to the University of Mantoba Wallace-Roughly Museum of Entomology.
