Diagnosis (female). Antenna with constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 752); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 914) with median part with strong reticulation and a ±complete median groove, submedian grooves straight and parallel, with outer margin indistinct, with transverse and strong carinae, lateral parts rugose with 18 scattered setae; petiole transverse, dorsal part with sculpture; gaster (Fig. 296) ovate, 1.7× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with short longitudinal carinae, tergites with strong reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 2.3mm (paratypes 2.1–2.3mm).
Scape yellowish-brown with apico-dorsal part dark brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Face below level of toruli golden-green, above this level metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black; vertex metallic bluish-green. Thoracic dorsum metallic bluish-green. Legs with fore and hind coxae metallic bluish-green, mid coxa black; trochanters brown; fore and mid femora dark brown to black with apex yellowish-brown, hind femur metallic bluish-green with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 dark brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1-2,5-7 metallic bluish-green, Gt
3-4 golden-purple; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part.
