Description.

Female. Body length: 6.88-6.94 mm (N = 3).

Color. Body black; mandible reddish brown; palpi yellow; legs yellow throughout; A1-A5 yellow, remainder of antenna dark brown to black; fore wing hyaline.

Head. Transverse in dorsal view, 1.4-1.56 × as wide as long, slightly wider than mesosoma; lateral ocellus contiguous with inner orbit of compound eye; POL 1.5-1.67 × LOL; occipital carina continuous medially, irregularly crenulate throughout; central keel absent; medial frons punctate with irregularly shaped smooth area; ventrolateral frons punctate rugulose to densely punctate; frons below median ocellus punctate reticulate; vertex densely punctate with punctures in part contiguous; gena with a strong carina parallel to occipital carina, punctate rugose dorsally; length of A3 1.24-1.30 × length of A2.

Mesosoma. Cervical pronotal area densely punctate; dorsal pronotal area areolate; lateral pronotal area smooth dorsally, irregularly depressed ventrally; netrion densely finely punctate; notaulus shallow, irregularly foveolate; middle lobe of mesoscutum densely punctate, becoming denser anteriorly and posteriorly; lateral lobes of mesoscutum densely punctate throughout; mesoscutellum densely punctate, becoming denser laterally; metascutellum transverse, posterior margin slightly pointed medially, longitudinally carinate; propodeum continuous medially, not divided into two separated lobes, posterior margin narrowly notched medially, each side with rugose sculpture covered by dense, recumbent, white setae; upper mesepisternum with a row of robust longitudinal carinae below subalar pit; lower mesepisternum densely punctate rugulose; mesopleural depression smooth; metapleuron longitudinally striate with coarse punctures in interstices, or longitudinally punctate rugose.

Legs. Slender; hind femur weakly swollen, 4.00-4.55 × as long as its maximum width; hind tibia without spines over outer surface; hind basitarsus 7.67-9.00 × as long as its maximum width.

Wings. Apex of fore wing extending from as far as basal of T5; R 1.46-1.60 × as long as r-rs, R1 1.95-2.43 × length of R.

Metasoma. Posterior margin of transverse sulcus on T2 strongly convex; sublateral tergal carinae well developed on T1-T3, weakly developed on anterior half of T4; T1-T4 sparsely longitudinally striate medially, with delicate punctures in interstices, punctate rugulose laterally; T5-T6 densely longitudinally striate, with numerous delicate punctures in interstices; length of T3 1.28-1.4 × length of T6; T5 distinctly longer than wide; S2-S6 densely longitudinally striate, with delicate punctures in interstices; prominent longitudinal median carina present on S2-S5.

Distribution.

China (Hainan).
