Redescription:  
 Male.   
Macropterous; length 1.9–3.1 mm. Head black, except clypeus brown and mandible partly brown and testaceous; head occasionally brown; antenna brown; mesosoma black, occasionally brown; metasoma brown; legs brown, except articulations, stalks of femora and part of tibiae and tarsi testaceous. Antenna filiform, hairy; antennal segments in the following proportions: 8:5:9:9:9:9:8:8:7:9. Head convex, shiny, finely punctate, unsculptured among punctae; frontal line absent; occipital carina complete; POL =7; OL= 3; OOL=5.5; OPL= 3; TL= 5. Occasionally head punctate and slightly granulated. Scutum, scutellum and metanotum shiny, quite finely punctate, unsculptured among punctae. Occasionally scutum slightly rugose near posterior margin. Notauli incomplete, reaching approximately 0.6× length of scutum. Propodeum reticulate rugose, without longitudinal or transverse keels. Forewing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of stigmal vein shorter than proximal part (2: 7 in holotype; 3.5: 8 in paratype); pterostigma less than four times as long as broad; veins surrounding BC and SBC cells generally as pigmented as veins surrounding CC cell, occasionally less pigmented. Paramere (Fig. 4) about as long as penis, with inner broad proximal branch wrapping penis. Tibial spurs 1/1/2.  
 Female. Unknown.   
 Holotype (examined): ♂ SOUTH AFRICA: Western Cape: Koopmanskloof, 10 km S Citrusdal, 32°40'S 19°01'E, 200–270 m, Malaise trap, 4–8.x.1994, loc. 6, R. Danielsson (MZLU).   
 Paratype (examined): 1♂ SOUTH AFRICA: Western Cape: Cape Peninsula, Hout Bay, Skoorsteenkop, xii.1950, n. 78, Swedish South Africa Expedition, 1950–1951, Brinck­Rudebeck, Insect trap (AMNH).   
 Other material examined: SOUTH AFRICA: Western Cape: Kogelberg Nature Reserve, parasitized host collected 17.i.2003, dryinid larva pupated 30.i.2003, dryinid adult emergence 16.ii.2003, reared from an adult of Colistra parvulus (Linnavuori) feeding on Berzelia lanuginosa (Bruniaceae), M. Olmi reared, (OLM); 5♂ Walker Bay Nature Reserve, 34°27.41'S 19°21.39'E, 4.x–1.xi.1997, 29.xi–26.xii.1997, 8.iv–16.v.1998, yellow pan trap, S. van Noort & B. Fisher (SAMC); 21♂ same locality, 11.viii–6.ix.1997, S. van Noort, (20 SAMC, 1 OLM); 2♂ same locality, 17–31.v.1997, Malaise trap, S. van Noort (SAMC).   
Distribution: South Africa.  
 Hosts: Cicadellidae (Guglielmino & Olmi 2006), South Africa (Kogelberg Nature Reserve): Colistra parvulus (Linnavuori) (M. Stiller det.).   
 Biology: In the only parasitized host collected in Kogelberg Nature Reserve (South Africa), the larval thylacium was situated in the dorsal side between the head and pronotum. This position is typical of Deinodryinus species.
