Holotype, ♀, length of antenna 2.2 mm, of fore wing longer than 2.6 mm, and of body 2.6 mm.
Head. Antenna with 18 antennomeres and 0.8 × as long as body (Fig. 27A View Figure 27 ); scapus quite stout, slightly curved, weakly expanded and sparsely setose, 2.5 × longer than its maximum width, with two horns on basal half: lower horn twisted and upper one shark fin-shaped (Figs 27C View Figure 27 , 28D View Figure 28 ); first and second flagellomeres sparsely setose and modified: first flagellomere with a strong downwards and blunt hook apically, second flagellomere with hook apically and subbasally inserted on first flagellomere (Fig. 27C View Figure 27 ); first flagellomere 2.0 × longer than second flagellomere, first, second and penultimate flagellomere 3.0, 2.0 and 1.8 × longer than wide, respectively (Fig. 27C View Figure 27 ); eye 1.8 × longer than temple in dorsal view (Fig. 28E View Figure 28 ); temples roundly narrowed behind eyes (Fig. 28E View Figure 28 ); ocelli small, OOL:OD:POL = 67:9:16 (Fig. 28E View Figure 28 ); frons and vertex smooth; occipital carina nearly complete present, narrowly interrupted medio-dorsally and convex dorsally (Fig. 28E View Figure 28 ); face 2.5 × wider than high, smooth (Fig. 28D View Figure 28 ); clypeus smooth, narrow than face, strongly convex, 2.7 × wider than high (Fig. 28D View Figure 28 ); dorsal margin of clypeus distinct above level of ventral margin of eye anterior (Fig. 28D View Figure 28 ); tentorial pits large (Fig. 28D View Figure 28 ); malar suture narrow, length of malar space 1.3 × basal width of mandible (Fig. 28D View Figure 28 ); mandibles slender (Fig. 28D View Figure 28 ).
Mesosoma. Length of mesosoma 1.9 × its height (Fig. 28G View Figure 28 ); side of pronotum crenulated anteriorly and medially, but largely smooth (Fig. 28G View Figure 28 ); propleuron smooth and shiny (Fig. 28G View Figure 28 ); mesopleuron smooth and shiny (Fig. 28G View Figure 28 ); prepectal medio-ventral carina present (Fig. 28G View Figure 28 ); episternal scrobe short and wide (Fig. 28G View Figure 28 ); precoxal sulcus short, wide and crenulate (Fig. 28G View Figure 28 ); mesonotum sparsely setose, flat, smooth and shiny (Fig. 28F View Figure 28 ); notauli narrow, posteriorly crenulated; mesoscutum sparsely setose, flattened (Fig. 28F View Figure 28 ); scutellar sulcus wide and smooth with one distinct crenula (Fig. 28F View Figure 28 ); scutellum flat, smooth (Fig. 28F View Figure 28 ); metapleuron largely rugose (Fig. 28G View Figure 28 ); propodeum with short basal carina, largely rugose and, pentagon-shaped median area dorsally, laterally largely smooth (Fig. 28H View Figure 28 ).
Wings. Fore wing (Fig. 28J View Figure 28 ): vein 1-SR+M absent; vein 1-R1 0.7 × as long as pterostigma; vein SR1+3-SR curved; r:2-SR = 2:87; vein r issued slightly behind middle of pterostigma; vein m-cu cross vein 2-SR; vein cu-a nearly as long as vein 1-CU1 and postfurcal.
Legs. Fore leg: tibia 2.9 × longer than coxa, 0.8 × as long as femur, and femur flat, 3.6 × longer than wide; middle leg: tibia 3.7 × longer than coxa, 0.9 × as long as femur; hind leg: tibia 3.5 × longer than coxa, 1.1 × longer than femur; hind coxa smooth, 1.8 × longer than wide; hind femur, tibia and basitarsus 8.2, 11.6 and 6.6 × longer than wide, respectively; hind basitarsus 0.4 × as long as tibia; hind fourth tarsal segment 0.7 × as long as fifth tarsal segment.
Metasoma. First tergite quite robust, 1.3 × longer than its apical width, and apical width 2.3 × its minimum width, with large dorsope and laterope basally (Fig. 28I View Figure 28 ); first tergite basally smooth, finely striate laterally (Fig. 28I View Figure 28 ); following tergites smooth and shiny; ovipositor sheath and ovipositor short and curved upwards (Fig. 27B View Figure 27 ).
Colour. Yellowish brown to dark brown; palpi pale and legs yellowish brown; head, ovipositor sheath and ovipositor brown; antenna brown, but its basal two segments yellowish brown; wing membrane slightly infuscate, pterostigma and veins brown; body dorsally dark brown.
Remarks.
This new species is distinguished from related species by its combination of 18 antennomeres, scapus with two specialized horns, first and second flagellomere modified and occipital carina narrowly interrupted medio-dorsally.
Biology.
Unknown.
Distribution.
Palaearctic: China (Hubei).
Etymology.
The species is named after the virtual character Roronoa Zoro, who is a great swordsman in the Japanese animation "One Piece". The scapus and the first flagellomere of the new species form three catch structures similar to the three swords of Zoro.
