[1][3][4][5] These ibaliid wasps mainly can be found in forests dominated by various conifers genera (Abies, Cupressus, Libocedrus, Picea, Pinus and Tsuga species).

Abdomen is dark red, rectangular, pronouncedly compressed laterally and unmarked.
[4] This species has one generation a year (univoltine), typically coinciding with host emergence.
In fact, these wasps are solitary parasitoids of woodwasps (Siricidae family),[6] especially Sirex, Urocerus and Xeris species.
