Diagnosis.

Head, mesosoma and metasoma black; female flagellum dark brown. Body size: 2.8-3.4 mm. Head shape in frontal view (Fig. 15A, B) much wider than high. Head in lateral view not unusually long, without distinct sulcus separating posterior eye margin from temple. Clypeal margin (Fig. 15A, B) truncate to very slightly convex. Supraclypeal area (Fig. 15B) slightly transverse (less than 1.5 × as wide as high), sides well defined; in male without oval lateral impressions. Malar sulcus versus anterior margin of malar depression shorter. Frontal keels (Fig. 15A, B) absent. Face between scrobes and eye (Fig. 15A, B) smooth. Face between clypeus and eye (Fig. 15A, B) smooth. Lateral ocellus large (OOL less than twice the largest ocellar diameter). Funicular segments in female (Fig. 15A): most segments quadrate to transverse. Male scape (Fig. 15B) slightly widened distally; ventral pores on less than half scape length. Mesosoma (Fig. 15C) narrow (more than 1.4 × as long as wide). Mesoscutum sculpture (Fig. 15C) without smooth median tubercle; interspaces smaller than punctures, smooth. Scutellum hind margin (Fig. 15C) without a double carina, without bilobed protruding projection. Prepectus (Fig. 15D) wide, dorsal margin longer than pronotal collar; well defined anteriorly (i.e. suture with pronotum very distinct); anterior margin with incomplete row of small punctures.
