(Figs 586, 587, 867)
Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 867); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 586) with weak reticulation and elongate meshes on median part, lateral parts rugose, submedian grooves slightly curved and diverging towards both anterior and posterior parts, with outer margin indistinct; dorsellum without median carina; propodeum (Fig. 586) with strong reticulation, callus with two setae; petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part; gaster (Fig. 586) 2.0× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal short carinae, Gt1-4 with weak reticulation.
Female holotype: length of body 2.7mm (paratypes 2.0– 2.6mm).
Scape dark brown with base yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons golden-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes golden-purple; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesoscutum golden, mesoscutellum and propodeum golden-red. Legs with fore and mid coxae metallic bluish-green, hind coxa golden-red; trochanters yellowish-brown; femora with basal half dark brown and apical half yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 dark brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1 metallic golden, remaining tergites golden-green with purple tinges; gonoplac black.
Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Frons rugose and also 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.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe, midlobe rugose close to notauli; midlobe with a very weak median groove, and with 14 scattered setae on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation with elongate meshes on median part, lateral parts rugose; submedian grooves slightly curved and diverging towards both anterior and posterior parts, with outer margin indistinct; with ten setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, without median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands in posterior part, with strong reticulation; callus with two 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 slightly open below; costal setal row unbroken.
Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal short carinae; tergites with weak reticulation.
