(Figs 630, 631, 882, 946)
Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a distinct constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 882); genal carina present; mesoscutum (Fig. 630) with strong reticulation, midlobe rugose close to notauli, without median groove, ±uniformly covered with setae but with a narrow median stripe bare; mesoscutellum (Fig. 630) rugose with submedian grooves indicated but very indistinct, ±parallel and close, ±uniformly covered with setae except median bare part; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 630) with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation, callus with three setae; petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part; gaster (Fig. 630) 1.7× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites with strong reticulation; mesoscutum and mesoscutellum black with metallic blue-green tinges (Figs 630, 631).
Female holotype: length of body 1.5mm.
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum dark brown. Head black with metallic blue-green tinges, clypeus dark brown, scrobes black. Mesosoma black with metallic blue-green tinges. Legs with fore and hind coxae black with metallic blue-green tinges, mid coxa dark brown; trochanters yellowish-brown; femora black with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster black with blue-green tinges; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeal area smooth, frons rugose, scrobes with strong reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric, midlobe rugose close to notauli, without median groove, ±uniformly covered with setae but with a narrow median bare stripe. Mesoscutellum rugose with submedian grooves indicated but indistinct, ±parallel and close, ±uniformly covered with setae but with median part bare. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands only slightly in posterior part; with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with three setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken (one seta missing in median part).
Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster ovate; medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with strong reticulation.
