( Figs 254, 255 View Figs 252–255 , 742 View Figs 742–750 )

Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava with a weak constriction between C1 and C2 ( Fig. 742 View Figs 742–750 ); mesoscutum and mesoscutellum with strong reticulation ( Fig. 254 View Figs 252–255 ); dorsellum with median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 254 View Figs 252–255 ) with strong reticulation; gaster ( Fig. 254 View Figs 252–255 ) 1.9× as long as wide, tergites with very strong reticulation, dorsal part ±flattened.

Female holotype: length of body 2.1mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Face below level of toruli golden-green, clypeus dark brown, frons metallic bluish-green, antennal scrobes black; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesoscutum with sidelobes black, midlobe golden-green; mesoscutellum golden-green; propodeum black. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown, hind coxa black; trochanters dark brown; femora dark brown with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 golden-green with posterior margin black, remaining tergites black; gonoplac black.

Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with a short genal carina close to mouth opening. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with strong reticulation and some wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with a median groove in posterior two-thirds, and with ten scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation on median part, lateral parts with strong reticulation and with eight scattered setae, meshes elongate; submedian grooves ±distinct, straight and ±parallel. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a narrow and strong median carina; with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with six setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster ovate-elongate; tergites with very strong reticulation.
