Female holotype: length of body 2.1mm (paratype 1.8mm).
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black; vertex black with metallic bluish-green tinges. Mesoscutum and mesoscutellum metallic bluish-purple, propodeum golden-green. Legs with coxae metallic bluish-green; trochanters dark brown; femora black with metallic bluish-green tinges; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 metallic bluish-green, Gt 2 metallic bluish-purple in anterior half and golden-purple in posterior half, Gt 3-5 golden-purple, Gt 6 black with metallic tinges, Gt 7 black; gonoplac black.
Antennal clava solid. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons with strong reticulation, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric, midlobe with elongate meshes posterio-medially and with a median groove in posterior half, with eight scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum rugose and with a median groove in anterior two-thirds; submedian grooves with outer margin indistinct, slightly curved, almost parallel; with five setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands in posterior part; with strong reticulation; callus with four setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with five setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.
