Head black-brown, except mandible yellow (in specimen from China, 5 Km W of Chongpo, clypeus and gena testaceous); antenna brown, except segments 1–2 yellow; mesosoma black-brown; metasoma brown; legs brown, except tarsi yellow. Antenna clavate. Head shiny, with occiput and face hairy, unsculptured, except occiput granulated; vertex weakly excavated, almost flat; face more excavated than vertex; occipital carina absent. Palpal formula 6/3. Pronotum dull, granulated (in holotype) or unsculptured (in specimen from China, 5 Km W of Chongpo), hairy, with (in holotype) or without (in specimen from China, 5 Km W of Chongpo) irregular transverse keels, crossed by strong transverse impression. Scutum dull, hairy, sculptured by some longitudinal keels. Metanotum dull, transversely striate, not hollow behind scutellum. Metathorax + propodeum dull, with or without median narrow longitudinal furrow similar to keel, with anterior surface sculptured by many longitudinal striae and posterior surface transversely striate. Mesopleuron and metapleuron transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture distinct and complete. Segment 1 of protarsus shorter than segment 4 (11:13). Enlarged claw (Plate 128G) with one small subapical tooth and three bristles. Segment 5 of protarsus (Plate 128G) with inner margin proximally not serrated, with one row of about 18 lamellae (in specimen from China, 5 Km W of Chongpo, segment 5 with two rows of 18 + one (distal) lamellae; medial lamellae situated on a prominence); distal apex with 3–4 lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.
Description of Male. Fully winged; length 1.8 mm. Head black, except mandible testaceous; antenna brown; mesosoma black; metasoma brown; legs brown, except meso- and metatarsal segments 1–4 whitish.
