Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a slender clava with a weak constriction between C1 and C2, spicule long (Fig. 797); genal carina present (Fig. 17); mesoscutellum (Fig. 410) transverse, 0.9× as long as wide, flattened, with submedian grooves distinct and parallel, median part with weak reticulation; dorsellum without median carina; propodeum (Fig. 410) with strong reticulation, callus with four setae; petiole very short, just a narrow band; gaster (Fig. 410) 1.9× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal short carinae, tergites with very strong reticulation; body black with metallic tinges (Figs 410, 411).
Female holotype: length of body 1.8mm.
Scape, pedicel and F1 yellowish-brown, F2-3 and C1 yellowish-brown ventrally and brown dorsally, C2–3 brown. Head with frons black with metallic blue tinges, antennal scrobes and clypeus black; vertex black with metallic tinges. Mesosoma black with metallic tinges. Legs with coxae black; fore and mid trochanters dark brown, hind trochanter yellowish-brown; fore and mid femora dark brown, hind femur yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-white. Petiole black. Gaster black with metallic tinges; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with strong 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.

Mesoscutellum flat, with weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, straight and parallel; with seven setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with weak sculpture, without median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands posteriorly; with strong reticulation; callus with four setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with three setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.
