Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid (Fig. 1082); genal carina present but weak and short; mesoscutellum (Fig. 512) with strong reticulation and elongate meshes, submedian grooves distinct and diverging slightly towards posterior part, with a ±complete but weak median groove; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 512) with strong carinae and strong reticulation, callus with four setae; petiole very short, just a narrow band; gaster (Fig. 512) 2.5× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally and with a sharp transverse edge dorsally, tergites with weak reticulation and shiny.
Female holotype: length of body 1.9mm.
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum brown. Head with frons metallic bluish-green with scrobes black and clypeus dark brown; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesoscutum and mesoscutellum metallic bluish-green; propodeum golden-green. Legs with fore and hind coxae metallic bluish-green, mid coxa dark brown with metallic tinges; trochanters dark brown; fore and mid femora dark brown with apex yellowish-brown, hind femur metallic bluish-green with apical one-third yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1,5,6 metallic bluish-green, Gt2-4 golden-purple, Gt7 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 a weak genal carina close to mouth opening. Vertex with strong reticulation.
