(Figs 556, 557, 1091)
Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava with a weak constriction between C1 and C2, scape dark brown (Fig. 1091); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 556) with weak reticulation on median part and with a weak median groove, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate, submedian grooves distinct, diverging slightly towards posterior part; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 556) with strong reticulation, callus with six setae; petiole transverse and smooth; gaster (Fig. 556) 2.8× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, Gt1 with weaker reticulation and more shiny than remaining tergites that have strong reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 2.4mm.
Entire antenna dark brown to black. Head with frons metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black. Thoracic dorsum golden-green. Legs with fore and hind coxae metallic bluish-green, mid coxa dark brown; trochanters dark brown; femora golden-green with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1,6 metallic bluish-green, Gt2-5 golden-purple, Gt7 black with metallic tinges; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe, midlobe rugose close to notauli; midlobe with a median groove in posterior two-thirds, with 15 scattered setae on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part and with a weak median groove, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, diverging slightly towards posterior part; with eight setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with weak sculpture and shiny, with median carina. Propodeum with strong reticulation; callus with six setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with five setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.
Petiole transverse and smooth. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, Gt 1 with weaker reticulation and more shiny than remaining tergites that have strong reticulation.
