(Figs 438, 439, 1078)
Diagnosis (female). Antenna with distinct constriction between all three clavomeres (Fig. 1078); with genal carina; mesoscutellum (Fig. 438) with submedian grooves distinct and converging towards posterior part, median part with very weak reticulation and shiny, lateral parts with strong reticulation; mid coxa dark brown (Fig. 439); propodeum (Fig. 438) with strong reticulation, callus with five setae; gaster (Fig. 438) 2.7× as long as wide, tergites with strong reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 1.6mm.
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum dark brown. Head and mesosoma black with metallic tinges. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown, hind coxa black; femora pale brown with apical one-third yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1 with golden-green tinges, remaining tergites dark brown to black; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a constriction between all three clavomeres. 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. Occipital margin ±carinate.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with a median groove in posterior two-thirds, and with eight adnotaular setae in two rows. Mesoscutellum with median part with very weak reticulation, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, straight and converging towards posterior part; with four setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, with a median carina. Propodeum with a strong and wide median carina that expands posteriorly; with strong reticulation; callus with five setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with three setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row in right wing unbroken, left wing with two setae missing in median part of setal row.
Petiole a very short transverse band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with two short longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with strong reticulation.
