( Figs 156, 157 , 1030)

Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid (Fig. 1030); genal carina absent; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 156 ) with submedian grooves indistinct, wide apart and diverging towards posterior part; propodeum ( Fig. 156 ) with a strong and narrow median carina that expands strongly towards posterior part; hind coxa without carina along posterior margin; gaster ( Fig. 156 ) 2.7× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with a ±rectangular short incision, with weak reticulation and shiny, Gt 2-7 with strong reticulation.

Female holotype: length of body 1.4mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head metallic bluish-green, antennal scrobes black, clypeus dark brown. Thoracic dorsum black with metallic blue tinges. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown, hind coxa black with metallic tinges; trochanters pale brown; femora black with metallic tinges; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 metallic blue, Gt 2-5 golden-purple, Gt 6-7 black; gonoplac black.

Antenna with solid clava. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeal area smooth, frons with strong reticulation, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; without genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, slightly elongate on midlobe; midlobe without median groove, with six setae ±in one row close to notauli. Mesoscutellum with rather strong reticulation, stronger on lateral parts, meshes elongate; submedian grooves indistinct but traceable, slightly curved, wide apart and diverging towards posterior part. Dorsellum with strong sculpture. Propodeum with a strong and narrow median carina that expands strongly towards posterior part; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation; hind coxa without carina along posterior margin. Fore wing with three setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole transverse. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a ±rectangular short incision, with weak reticulation, remaining tergites with strong reticulation.
