Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a solid clava (Fig. 860); genal carina present but short; mesoscutellum (Fig. 570) with weak reticulation on median part and without median groove, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; outer margin of submedian grooves indistinct, ±straight and diverging slightly towards posterior part; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 570) with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation, callus with four setae; petiole very short, just a narrow band; gaster (Fig. 570) 1.8× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites with weak reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 1.7mm.
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons golden-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black; vertex metallic bluish-green. Thoracic dorsum metallic bluish-green with golden tinges. Legs with fore and hind coxae golden-green, mid coxa dark brown; trochanters yellowish-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-green, Gt2-4 golden-purple, Gt5 golden-purple medially and metallic bluish-green laterally, Gt6-7 metallic bluish-green; gonoplac black.
Antenna with solid clava. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; genal carina short, present just close to mouth opening. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with transverse carinae inside ocellar triangle; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part.

Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part and without median groove, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; outer margin of submedian grooves indistinct, ±straight and diverging slightly towards posterior part; with nine setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a narrow median carina that expands posteriorly; with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with four 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 open below; costal setal row unbroken.
