Description of Female. Fully winged; length usually 4.7–5.0 mm. Head black, except mandible testaceous; antenna brown; occasionally antenna reddish, except segments 7–10 brown; mesosoma black; occasionally lateral regions and posterior margin of pronotum reddish; metasoma black-brown; legs brown, except tarsi testaceous. Antenna clavate; antennal segments in following proportions: 15:7:35:21:12:12:10:9:8:8; antennal rhinaria present in segments 6–10. Head weakly excavated, shiny, with face and vertex reticulate rugose and occiput granulated; frontal line complete; occipital carina incomplete, present behind and on sides of posterior ocelli, laterally extending beyond 0.5 length of OOL; POL = 3; OL = 2; OOL = 12; greatest breadth of posterior ocelli longer than OL (4:2); posterior ocelli touching occipital carina; temple distinct. Palpal formula 6/3. Pronotum (Plate 97D) hairy, crossed by strong transverse impression; anterior collar smooth, unsculptured; disc very humped, with some longitudinal keels, without posterior transverse impression; posterior edges of pronotum rounded, not produced into lobes. Scutum hairy, reticulate rugose. Notauli absent; occasionally present and incomplete, hardly visible. Scutellum completely reticulate rugose. Metanotum very short, reduced. Propodeum dull, with dorsal surface reticulate rugose, occasionally with many subparallel irregular longitudinal keels; posterior surface reticulate rugose, with two longitudinal keels. Fore wing with two dark transverse bands; distal part of stigmal vein much longer than proximal part (21:9). Hindwing hyaline, distally darkened. Protarsal segments in following proportions: 24:2:8:15:32. Enlarged claw (Plate 97F) with one subapical tooth and one row of 12–15 peg-like hairs. Segment 5 of protarsus (Plate 97F) with two rows of about ten lamellae; distal apex with about five lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/2.
Description of Male. Fully winged; length 2.6–4.2 mm. Head black, except mandible testaceous; antenna testaceous; mesosoma black; metasoma brown; legs brown, except tarsi testaceous.

Head dull, granulated and rugose; frontal line absent; face without median keel between antennal toruli; occipital carina absent; temple absent; POL = 8; OL = 3; OOL = 5; greatest breadth of posterior ocelli longer than OL (4:3). Palpal formula 6/3. Scutum and scutellum dull, granulated. Notauli complete, posteriorly separated; minimum distance between notauli longer than greatest breadth of posterior ocelli (5:4). Metanotum shiny, smooth, unsculptured, except anterior margin rugose. Propodeum dull, reticulate rugose, without transverse or longitudinal keels. Fore wing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of stigmal vein slightly longer than proximal part (15:13). Paramere (Plate 97E) with dorsal process short and located proximally.
