(Figs 122, 123, 707)
Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid (Fig. 707); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 122) with elongate meshes; hind coxa without carina along posterior margin; petiole transverse with strong sculpture; gaster (Fig. 122) 3.1× as long as wide, with Gt 2 0.3× as long as Gt 4, Gt 1 with weak reticulation, more shiny than remaining tergites, medio-basal Gt 1 with a ±rectangular incision but without transverse carina dorsally, Gt 2-4 with a smooth median line.
Female holotype: length of body 2.7mm.
Scape yellowish-brown with dorsal edge brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons metallic bluish-green, antennal scrobes black, clypeus dark brown; vertex metallic bluish-green. Thoracic dorsum golden-green. Legs with coxae golden-green; trochanters and femora dark brown to black, femora with metallic tinges; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 golden-green, remaining tergites black with blue and purple tinges; gonoplac black.
Antenna with ±solid clava. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe without median groove, with five setae in one row close to notauli. Mesoscutellum with rather strong reticulation on median part and shiny, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; with a very weak median groove; submedian grooves indistinct, wide apart, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; setae not visible, broken off. Dorsellum with rather strong reticulation and shiny. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands in posterior part; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster elongate; Gt 1 with weak reticulation and shiny, remaining tergites with strong reticulation, Gt 2-4 with a smooth median line.
