(Figs 450, 451, 807)
Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 807); with a short genal carina; mesoscutellum (Fig. 450) with very weak reticulation on median part and without median groove, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves curved with outer margin missing; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 450) with strong reticulation and strong irregular carinae, callus with three setae; petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal surface; gaster (Fig. 450) 2.9× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with short longitudinal carinae, tergites with strong large-meshed reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 2.2mm.
Scape yellowish-brown with dorsal edge darker, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons golden-green, antennal scrobes black, clypeus dark brown; vertex black with metallic blue tinges. Mesoscutum dark brown with golden-green tinges, mesoscutellum golden-green, propodeum dark brown. Legs with fore and hind coxae black with metallic tinges, mid coxa dark brown; trochanters, femora, tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown, tibiae paler than femora and T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster dark brown to black with golden-green tinges; gonoplac dark brown.
