(Figs 46, 47, 689)
Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid (Fig. 689); genal carina present; mesoscutellum with relatively weak reticulation with elongate meshes (Fig. 46); propodeal callus with eight setae; hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin; gaster (Fig. 46) 2.6× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with a transverse carina dorsally, tergites with strong reticulation, Gt 1-4 with a smooth median line.
Female holotype: length of body 2.0mm.
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum brown. Head with frons black with metallic blue tinges, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black; vertex black with weak metallic tinges. Thoracic dorsum black with metallic blue tinges. Legs with fore and mid coxae black, hind coxa black with metallic tinges; trochanters dark brown; femora dark brown with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster dark brown to black; gonoplac black.
Antenna with solid clava. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons with strong reticulation, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe, midlobe without a median groove, with nine scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part and with a weak a median groove in anterior two-thirds, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves indistinct, running close to and parallel with lateral margin of mesoscutellum; anterior pair of setae situated in anterior part. Dorsellum with strong sculpture. Propodeum with strong reticulation; with a strong and wide median carina that expands strongly backwards from median part; callus with eight setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation; hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a transverse carina dorsally, Gt 1-4 with a smooth median line; tergites with strong reticulation.
