(Figs 634, 635, 928, 948)
Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2; genal carina present; midlobe of mesoscutum (Fig. 634) rugose to strongly reticulate with a strong median groove, and with white setae all over; mesoscutellum (Figs 634, 928) with distinct submedian grooves, situated close to one another, median part with strong reticulation in anterior half, weak reticulation in posterior half, lateral parts strongly rugose with white setae all over; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 634) with strong irregular carinae; callus with seven setae; gaster (Fig. 634) 1.6× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites with strong reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 1.9mm.
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum dark brown. Head with frons, including scrobes, and vertex metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown. Thoracic dorsum black with metallic blue tinges. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown, hind coxa black with metallic blue tinges; trochanters and femora dark brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 black with metallic blue tinges, remaining tergites black with metallic purple tinges; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. 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 transverse carinae; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric; midlobe with a complete median groove, with white setae scattered all over. Mesoscutellum with median median part with strong reticulation in anterior half and weak reticulation in posterior half, lateral parts with strong reticulation/rugosity; submedian grooves distinct, situated close to one another, ±straight and diverging towards posterior part; with 16 white setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with weak sculpture and shiny, with median carina. Propodeum a strong median carina that expands anteriorly and posteriorly; with strong irregular carinae; callus with seven 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 sparse but unbroken.
Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster ovate; medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with strong reticulation.
