( Figs 1 View FIGURE 1 , 28–32 View FIGURES 28 – 32 , 54 View FIGURES 52 – 57 , 82 View FIGURES 74 – 88 )
Diagnosis. Vertex with two weak humps, one behind each posterior ocellus, and medially with a groove between occipital margin and anterior ocellus ( Fig. 29 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ); scutellum without median groove ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ); propodeum without median carina ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ); petiole 1.0–1.5X as long as wide, transversely striate and shiny ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ); first gastral tergite covering about 1/3 of gaster.
Similar to C. reticulatum , but differing in having upper part of frons and vertex smooth.
Description. FEMALE. Length 1.0–1.1 mm. Antenna dark brown except scape white. Frons metallic dark purple, golden-green along eyes. Vertex, mesoscutum, scutellum and propodeum golden-green. Coxae dark and metallic; femora, tibiae and tarsi white. Wings hyaline. Petiole golden-green. Gaster weak golden-green.
Antenna as in Fig. 82 View FIGURES 74 – 88 . Frons and vertex smooth and shiny ( Figs 28, 29 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ), frons almost flat; tentorial pits distinct ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ); vertex with two humps, one behind each posterior ocellus.
Mesonotum with a more or less round fovea medially between mesoscutum and scutellum ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ). Mesoscutum with weak reticulation, the meshes transverse, anteriorly on midlobe, and posterior of midlobe and sidelobes smooth and shiny ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ). Scutellum with anterior ½ smooth and shiny except for weak elongate striae, and posterior ½ with strong reticulation ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ). Dorsellum very short, almost hidden under scutellum with only very posterior parts visible in dorsal view ( Fig. 30 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ). Propodeum smooth and shiny between plicae ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ).
Petiole 1.0–1.5X as long as wide, with transverse carinae and shiny ( Fig. 31 View FIGURES 28 – 32 ). Gaster ovate with first tergite covering about 1/3 length.
MALE. Unknown.
