(Figs 382, 383, 785)
Diagnosis (female). Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 785); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 382) with median part with weak reticulation without median groove, meshes elongate, submedian grooves distinct, curved and diverging slightly towards both anterior and posterior parts; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 382) with strong reticulation, callus with four setae; petiole very short, a very narrow band; gaster (Fig. 382) elongate, 2.6× as long as wide, tergites predominantly with rather weak reticulation, medio-basal Gt1 with a sharp edge shaped like an inverted U (as in Fig. 24).
Female holotype: length of body 2.6mm (paratype 1.7mm).
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum dark brown. Face below level of toruli and scrobes dark brown, remaining part metallic bluish-purple; vertex metallic bluish-purple. Mesoscutum dark brown with metallic tinges; mesoscutellum golden-green; propodeum black. Legs with fore coxa dark brown, mid coxa yellowish-brown, hind coxa black with apex yellowish-brown; femora dark brown with apex paler; trochanters, tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown, hind leg with T4 pale brown. Petiole dark brown. Gaster with Gt 1 golden-green, Gt2-6 dark brown, Gt
7 black; gonoplac black.
Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle and with a sharp edge between posterior part of posterior ocelli.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; with an indistinct median groove in posterior one-third; with seven adnotaular setae in ±two rows. Mesoscutellum with median part with very weak reticulation without median groove, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct and diverging slightly towards both anterior and posterior parts; with four setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong and wide median carina that expands slightly in both anterior and posterior parts; with strong reticulation; callus with four setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with 6&4 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.
Petiole very short, a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp edge shaped like an inverted U; Gt 1-4 with rather weakreticulation, Gt5-7 with strong reticulation.
