(Figs 492, 493, 828)
Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a solid clava (Fig. 828); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 492) with weak reticulation on median part and a weak median groove in anterior one-third, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate, submedian grooves indistinct in anterior one-third, distinct in posterior two-thirds, straight and diverging towards posterior part; dorsellum without median carina; propodeum (Fig. 492) with strong irregular carinae medially, and with strong reticulation, median carina narrow, callus with six setae; petiole very short, just a narrow band; gaster (Fig. 492) 1.8× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites predominantly with weak reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 2.0mm.
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum pale brown. Head with frons metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesoscutum metallic bluish-purple; mesoscutellum and propodeum metallic bluish-green. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown, hind coxa metallic bluish-green; trochanters pale brown; femora with basal half dark brown and apical half yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1 metallic bluish-purple, Gt2-4 golden-purple, Gt5-7 metallic bluish-green; gonoplac dark brown.
Antenna with solid clava. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with weak reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe, midlobe with parts close to notauli rugose; midlobe with a complete median groove, and with 12 scattered setae on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part and a weak median groove in anterior one-third, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves indistinct in anterior one-third, distinct in posterior two-thirds, straight and diverging towards posterior part; with seven setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, without median carina. Propodeum with a narrow median carina; with strong irregular carinae medially, and with strong reticulation; callus with six setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster ovate-elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with weak reticulation.
