(Figs 528, 529, 845)
Diagnosis (female). Antenna with distinct constrictions between clavomeres (Fig. 845); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 528) with weak reticulation and elongate meshes, submedian grooves with outer margin absent and slightly converging towards posterior part; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 528) short with strong reticulation, median carina wide, callus with 6–7 setae; petiole very short, just a narrow band; gaster (Fig. 528) elongate, 2.6× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with a sharp edge shaped like an inverted U (as in Fig. 24), Gt
7 heavily setose (Fig. 529).
Female holotype: length of body 2.5mm (paratypes 1.8–2.9mm).
Scape yellowish-brown with apico-dorsal part brown, pedicel brown, flagellum blackish. Face below level of toruli black with golden-green tinges and clypeus brown, frons golden green with scrobes black with weak metallic tinges; vertex black with metallic blue tinges. Mesoscutum metallic greenish-blue; mesoscutellum and propodeum golden-green. Legs with coxae black with metallic blue tinges; trochanters yellowish-brown; femora with basal half brown and apical half yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1 golden-green, Gt2 metallic greenish-blue, Gt3-7 metallic purple; gonoplac black.
Antenna with distinct constrictions between clavomeres. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle and with a carina between posterior part of posterior ocelli.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, postero-median midlobe with weak reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; with eight adnotaular setae in two rows. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation and elongate meshes; submedian grooves with outer margin absent and converging slightly towards posterior part; with three setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong and wide median carina that expands strongly posteriorly; with strong reticulation; callus with seven setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with five setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.
Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp edge shaped like an inverted U; tergites with strong reticulation.
