( Figs 454, 455 View Figs 452–455 , 814 View Figs 808–817 )

Diagnosis (female). Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 ( Fig. 814 View Figs 808–817 ); genal carina present but weak; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 454 View Figs 452–455 ) with median part with strong reticulation, with a weak median groove in anterior three-quarters, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate, submedian grooves ±distinct, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 454 View Figs 452–455 ) with strong reticulation, callus with five setae; petiole very short, just a narrow band; gaster ( Fig. 454 View Figs 452–455 ) 2.4× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal sharp edges laterally, tergites with strong reticulation.

Female holotype: length of body 1.8mm (paratypes 1.7–1.9mm).

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Frons golden-green, clypeus dark brown in upper half and yellowish-brown in lower half, scrobes black; vertex metallic blue. Mesosoma golden-green. Legs with fore coxa black with metallic blue tinges, mid coxa black, hind coxa metallic bluish-green; trochanters yellowish-brown; femora dark brown to black with metallic tinges in basal half, apical half yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1-6 metallic bluish-green, Gt7 black; gonoplac black.

Antenna with a distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of antennal toruli and scrobes with weak reticulation, clypeal area smooth, frons above antennal toruli with strong reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex outside ocellar triangle with strong reticulation, inside with wrinkled sculpture.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes and elongate on midlobe; midlobe with a median groove in posterior two-thirds, with ten scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with median part with strong reticulation, with a weak median groove in anterior three-quarters, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves ±distinct, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; with eight setae on lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands in posterior part; with strong reticulation; callus with five 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 closed below and towards base of wing; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole very short, just a transverse band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal sharp edges laterally; tergites with strong reticulation.
