(Figs 436, 437, 806)
Diagnosis (female). Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 806); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 436) with median part 2.9× as long as wide, with weak reticulation and a very weak median groove, shiny, with sides curved, outer margin of submedian grooves indistinct, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 436) with a strong and wide median carina that expands backwards from median part of carina, with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation, callus with two setae; petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part; gaster (Fig. 436) 2.4× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites with strong reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 2.6mm.
Scape yellowish-brown with apex brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons below level of antennal toruli golden-green, clypeus dark brown, above toruli metallic bluish-green with scrobes black; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesoscutum and mesoscutellum golden-green, propodeum golden. Legs with fore and hind coxae black with metallic tinges, mid coxa dark brown; trochanters and tibiae yellowish-brown, femora dark brown to black with apical one-third to half yellowish-brown, tarsi yellowish-brown with T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1 metallic bluish-green, Gt2-4 metallic purple, Gt5 metallic purple with hind margin golden-green, Gt6 golden-green, Gt 7 black; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons with strong reticulation/rugosity, scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe, parts close to notauli rugose; midlobe with median groove indicated but very weak in posterior half, with 14 scattered setae on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part and with a very weak median groove, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate, with eight scattered setae on lateral parts; outer margin of submedian grooves indistinct, grooves curved. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong and wide median carina that expands backwards from median part of carina; with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with very weak reticulation. Fore wing with 6&7 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with strong reticulation.
