(Figs 40, 394, 395, 795)
Diagnosis (female). Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 795), flagellum relatively short, flagellum+pedicel 1.3× as long as width of mesosoma; genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 394) with submedian grooves subdivided by transverse carinae and with outer margin predominantly indistinct, median part with weak reticulation, lateral parts with very strong reticulation; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 394) predominantly with strong irregular carinae, median carina wide, callus with two setae; fore and mid coxae yellowish-brown and hind coxa yellowish-brown at apex and along anterior part, dark brown along posterior part (Fig. 395); petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part; gaster (Fig. 394) 2.3× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites with strong reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 2.3mm.
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons golden-green, clypeus dark brown, scrobes black; vertex black with metallic blue tinges. Mesoscutum and propodeum golden-green, mesoscutellum golden. Legs with fore and mid coxae yellowish-brown and hind coxa yellowish-brown at apex and along anterior part, dark brown along posterior part; trochanters, femora and tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1 golden-green with posterior margin metallic purple, Gt2-4 metallic purple, Gt5-6 golden-green, Gt7 black; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of antennal toruli and scrobes with weak reticulation, clypeal area smooth, frons rugose; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation with isodiametric meshes on sidelobes, midlobe predominantly with strong reticulation and elongate meshes, parts close to notauli rugose, with a weak median groove in posterior half, with 14 scattered setae on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with submedian grooves curved and diverging towards posterior part, with transverse carinae and with outer margin predominantly indistinct, median part with weak reticulation and with a very weak median groove in anterior half, lateral parts with very strong reticulation and with six scattered setae; reticulation with elongate meshes. Dorsellum with very weak reticulation, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands in posterior part; predominantly with strong irregular carinae, laterally with some reticulation; callus with two setae. Fore and mid coxae with weak reticulation, hind coxa with strong reticulation. Fore wing with 6&7 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with strong reticulation.
