Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 1103); genal carina present; mesoscutum and mesoscutellum (Fig. 640) with very strong sculpture and with numerous scattered setae, mesoscutellum without submedian grooves but with two complete median grooves; fore wing speculum small (Fig. 641); dorsellum with two submedian carinae but without median carina, shiny; propodeum (Fig. 640) with part between median and paraspiracular carinae with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation, callus with three setae; petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part; gaster (Fig. 640) circular, 1.1× as long as wide, with weak reticulation, Gt 1 large, 0.5× as long as length of gaster with several short longitudinal carina medio-basally; black non-metallic species (Figs 640, 641).
Female holotype: length of body 1.5mm (paratype 1.6mm).
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum pale brown. Body black non-metallic. Legs with coxae black; fore trochanter dark brown, mid and hind trochanters yellowish-brown; fore femur dark brown, mid femur with basal half dark brown and apical half yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown.
Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with wrinkled sculptur. Occipital margin with a sharp edge.
Pronotum with very strong sculpture, with posterior margin smooth. Mesoscutum and mesoscutellum with very strong sculpture and with numerous scattered setae; mesoscutellum without submedian grooves but with two median grooves. Dorsellum with two submedian carinae but without median carina, shiny. Propodeum with a strong narrow median carina; part between median and paraspiracular carinae with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with three setae. Fore and mid coxae with weak reticulation, hind coxa with strong reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum small and closed; costal setal row unbroken.
