Description of female (Plates 106B, 133A). Apterous; length 2.6–3.9 mm. Totally testaceous, except petiole black; in some specimens, head, prothorax, lateral regions of scutum, scutellum and metasoma weakly darkened. Antenna clavate; antennal segments in following proportions: 9:5:13:7:6:6:5:5:5.5:8. Head excavated, shiny, smooth, alutaceous; frontal line complete; occipital carina incomplete, very shortly present on sides of posterior ocelli; POL = 1; OL = 1.5; OOL = 9; greatest breadth of posterior ocelli about as long as OL; temple distinct. Palpal formula 5/2. Pronotum shiny, hairless, alutaceous, crossed by strong transverse impression. Scutum very slender (Plate 106B), unsculptured. Metanotum shiny, unsculptured, not transversely striate, not hollow behind scutellum. Mesopleuron and metapleuron transversely striate. Metathorax + propodeum shiny, smooth, unsculptured, with posterior surface transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture obsolete. Protarsal segments in following proportions: 13:2:4:13:19. Enlarged claw (Plate 133B) with one large subapical tooth and one row of six–seven lamellae. Segment 5 of protarsus (Plate 133B) with two rows of about 14–24 lamellae; distal apex with about 8–15 lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.
Description of Male. Fully winged; length 1.7 mm. Head yellow-testaceous, except an ocellar brown spot and two brown spots on temple; antenna yellow-testaceous; mesosoma yellow-testaceous; metasoma browntestaceous; legs yellow. Antenna filiform; antennal segments in following proportions: 4:4.5:8:7:7:7:6:7:6:9.5; antennal segment 3 more than four times as long as broad (8:1.5). Head shiny, finely punctate, unsculptured among punctures; frontal line absent; occipital carina absent; temple distinct; POL = 5; OL = 2; OOL = 2.5; greatest breadth of posterior ocelli about as long as OL; region between posterior ocelli and eyes with an oval shiny and smooth area. Palpal formula 5/2. Scutum shiny, finely punctate, unsculptured among punctures. Notauli complete, posteriorly joint. Scutellum and metanotum shiny, smooth, unsculptured. Propodeum with dorsal surface shiny, smooth, unsculptured, except two median parallel longitudinal keels; posterior surface dull, reticulate rugose, without longitudinal or transverse keels. Fore wing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of stigmal vein much longer than proximal part. Dorsal process of paramere (Plate 131C) short and transverse, with distal apex pointed. Tibial spurs 1/1/2.
