(figures 32, 121, 124, 134)  
 Etymology. From the type locality.   
 Type material. HOLOTYPE, „ (AEI): Brazil: S.P., Teodoro Sampaio, August [19]73 (F. M. Oliveira). PARATYPES (AEI): 2„„, topotypic.   
Holotype, „, length of body 5.3 mm, of fore wing 5 mm.  
 Head (figure 121). Antenna with 49 segments, length of antenna twice fore wing, length of third segment 1.1 times fourth, length of third, fourth and penultimate segments 3.2, 2.8 and 2 times their maximal width, apical segment three times its maximal width; length of eye in dorsal view 4.5 times temple; eyes shortly setose; temple directly narrowed posteriorly, coriaceous ventrally, slightly punctatecoriaceous dorsally, shiny; OOL: diameter of ocellus: POL~5.0:2.0:2.0; frons smooth medially, shiny, laterally sparsely punctate; vertex convex, slightly punctate, flattened near stemmaticum; face convex, punctate; clypeus convex and punctate; maxillary palp 1.7 times height of head; length of malar space 1.5 times basal width of mandible; malar suture absent; occipital flange small and rounded ventrally and posteriorly.   
 Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.36 times its maximal height; side of pronotum smooth and medially crenulate; surface of mesopleuron very sparsely punctate, smooth and shiny; precoxal sulcus complete and crenulate (figure 32); metapleuron smooth; mesoscutum punctate; scutellar sulcus large with short carina posteriorly (figure 124); scutellum convex; propodeum convex in lateral view, smooth with some coarse transverse rugae medially; mid-longitudinal carina of propodeum present anteriorly (figure 134); ventral flange of metapleura blunt.   
 Wings. Fore wing: r: SR1z3-SR~10:40; 2-SR: r-m~9:5; second submarginal cell petiolate; subbasal cell glabrous anteriorly; vein 3-CU1 as long as vein CU1b. Hind wing: 2-M coloured; membrane largely glabrous basally.   
 Legs. Hind coxa rather smooth laterally, with coarse rugae dorsally; ventral border of hind femur smooth ventrally in lateral view; lengths of hind femur, tibia and basitarsus 5, 7.8 and 9 times their widths, respectively; tibial spurs 0.5 and 0.32 times basitarsus; hind tibia with four apical teeth.   
 Metasoma. First tergite 2.4 times longer than apically wide, shiny and weakly granulose apically, medially concave; spiracles protruding; second tergite smooth; T2 1.63 longer than T3; second suture smooth, straight.   
 Colour. Brownish yellow. Stemmaticum, apex of hind tibia, hind tarsus except basal half of basitarsus, telotarsi blackish; small apical patch of fore wing (apical third of marginal cell), veins of fore wing, antenna apically infuscate; tegula, humeral plate, rugae on propodeum, mid tarsus, apex of mid tibia, T1–T8 dorsally, outer stripe on scapus dark brown; S4–S8, outer side of trochantellus, pedicellus, dorsal part of antennal segments, subbasal ring of hind tibia brownish; hind femur, hind coxa brownish orange; tibial spurs, basal third of hind basitarsus, pterostigma yellowish.   
 Variation. Number of antennal segments varies between 49 and 51; T1 may only be brownish basally.
