Diagnosis (female). Antenna short, pedicel+flagellum 0.8× as long as width of mesoscutum, clava solid (Fig. 1003); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 74) with strong reticulation, meshes very elongate, submedian grooves indistinct, running close to and parallel with lateral margins of mesoscutellum; hind coxa without carina along posterior margin; gaster (Fig. 74) 2.0× as long as wide, Gt 2 0.3× as long as Gt 4, medio-basal Gt 1 with a transverse edge dorsally, Gt 1 with weak reticulation and more shiny than remaining tergites.
Female holotype: length of body 1.5mm (paratypes 1.4–1.8mm).
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum brown. Head black with golden-green tinges, clypeus dark brown. Thoracic dorsum golden-green. Legs with fore and hind coxae golden-green, mid coxa black with metallic tinges; trochanters dark yellowish-brown; femora dark brown to black with metallic tinges; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1,5,6 metallic bluish-green, remaining tergites black with bluish-purple tinges; gonoplac black.
Antenna with solid clava. 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 reticulation.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe without a median groove, with six scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation, meshes very elongate; submedian grooves indistinct, running close to and parallel with lateral margins of mesoscutellum. Dorsellum with strong sculpture. Propodeum with a triangular median carina; callus with two 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 unbroken.
Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster ovate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a transverse edge dorsally, Gt 1 with weak reticulation, partly smooth, remaining tergites with strong reticulation.
