Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava with a weak constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 716); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 162) with elongate meshes, with a weak median groove in anterior one-quarter; propodeum (Fig. 162) with median carina ±triangular; hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin; gaster (Fig. 162) 2.3× as long as wide, tergites with strong reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 2.2mm.
Scape yellowish-brown with dorsal edge brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Face below level of toruli golden-green, frons metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black; vertex metallic bluish-purple. Mesoscutum, mesoscutellum and propodeum metallic bluish-green. Legs with fore and hind coxae black with metallic blue tinges, mid coxa black; trochanters brown; femora dark brown, hind femur with metallic tinges, with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 metallic bluish-green, Gt 2-4 golden-purple medially and metallic bluish-green laterally, Gt 5-7 metallic bluish-green; gonoplac black.
Antenna with weak constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, ±elongate on midlobe; midlobe without a median groove, with ten scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation, meshes elongate, with a weak median groove in anterior one-quarter, submedian grooves weak but traceable, running close to and parallel with lateral margins of mesoscutellum; anterior pair of setae situated in front of middle of mesoscutellum. Dorsellum with strong reticulation. Propodeal callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation; hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin.
