(Figs 178, 179, 721)
Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava with a constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 721); genal carina short, present close to mouth opening; mesoscutellum (Fig. 178) with ±isodiametric meshes; antero-median part of median carina on propodeum raised as a tooth (Fig. 178); hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin; gaster (Fig. 178), 3.6× as long as wide, and high in lateral view, Gt 2 0.13× as long as Gt 4, medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp transverse edge dorsally, and with same strong reticulation as remaining tergites.
Female holotype: length of body 3.2mm.
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons golden-green, antennal scrobes and clypeus black; vertex metallic bluish-green. Thoracic dorsum golden-green. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown with metallic tinges, hind coxa golden-green; trochanters dark yellowish-brown; fore and mid femora dark brown with metallic tinges and with apical part yellowish-brown, hind femur golden-green with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 golden-green, remaining tergites black with metallic blue and purple tinges; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; genal carina short, present close to mouth opening. Vertex with strong reticulation.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric; midlobe with a very weak median groove in posterior two-thirds, with ten scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation, meshes ±isodiametric; submedian grooves very weak, straight and diverging slightly towards posterior part. Dorsellum with strong reticulation. Propodeum with triangular median carina with anterior part raised in a tooth; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation; hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin. Fore wing with six setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below and towards base of wing; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole transverse. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp transverse edge dorsally, and with same strong reticulation as remaining tergites.
