Diagnosis (female). Antenna with distinct constrictions between clavomeres (Fig. 1087); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 915 ) with weak reticulation and shiny, meshes elongate, submedian grooves distinct, straight and parallel; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 532 ) long, with strong reticulation, callus with 11 setae; petiole about 0.5× as long as wide with strong longitudinal carinae; fore wing speculum small ( Fig. 533 ); gaster ( Fig. 532 ) with anterior part narrow for an extended part before smoothly expanding backwards, 2.0× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites with strong reticulation; body black with metallic tinges ( Figs 532, 533 ).

Female holotype: length of body 2.6mm (paratypes 2.4mm).

Scape yellowish-brown with dorsal edge brown, pedicel brown, flagellum dark brown. Head black with golden-green tinges, clypeus dark brown. Mesosoma black with metallic tinges. Legs with fore and hind coxae predominantly black, mid coxa dark brown; trochanters, femora and tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster black with metallic tinges; gonoplac black.

Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons with strong reticulation, 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.

Mesoscutum with weak reticulation, especially so on midlobe, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with a very weak median groove in posterior half, with eight adnotaular setae in two rows. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, straight and parallel; with 12 setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands posteriorly; with strong reticulation; callus with 11 setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum small and closed; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole about 0.5× as long as wide with strong longitudinal carinae. Gaster ovate-elongate; medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with strong reticulation.
