(Figs 310, 311, 755)
Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava short with a weak constriction between C1 and C2 and with apex pointed (Fig. 755), flagellum short, pedicel+flagellum 1.0× as long as width of mesosoma; genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 310) with very strong reticulation throughout, meshes isodiametric, submedian grooves indistinct; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 310) with strong irregular carinae and reticulation, callus with two setae; fore wing with a weak infuscate spot distad of stigmal vein (Fig. 311); petiole short, just a narrow band; gaster (Fig. 310) ovate, 2.2× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites with very strong and large-meshed reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 1.5mm.
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum dark brown. Head with frons, including scrobes, and vertex bright golden-green, vertex also with golden-red tinges, clypeus dark brown. Mesoscutum dull golden-green with posterior part metallic purplish; mesoscutellum golden; propodeum dull golden-green. Legs with coxae dark brown to black with metallic tinges; trochanters pale brown; femora dark brown with apex paler; tibiae yellowish-brown; tarsi with T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Fore wing hyaline with a weak infuscate spot distad of stigmal vein. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1,7 metallic bluish-green, remaining tergites black with metallic tinges; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli and scrobes with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons with strong reticulation; with genal carina, reaching to level of lower margin of eye. Vertex with strong reticulation.
Mesoscutum with very strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric; midlobe with a weak median groove, with 15 scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with very strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric; submedian grooves indistinct, lateral parts with ten scattered setae. Dorsellum with very weak reticulation and shiny, with median carina. Propodeum with median carina that expands posteriorly; with a mix of strong irregular carinae and reticulation; callus with two setae. Fore and mid coxae with weak reticulation, hind coxa with strong reticulation. Fore wing with five setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate-ovate; medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with very strong reticulation with large meshes.
