Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a constriction between C1 and C2 ( Fig. 757 View Figs 751–759 ); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 316 View Figs 316–319 ) with median part with weak reticulation and a ±complete weak median groove, meshes elongate, submedian grooves distinct and diverging towards posterior part; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 316 View Figs 316–319 ) short with strong reticulation, callus with three setae; petiole very short, transverse; gaster ( Fig. 316 View Figs 316–319 ) elongate, 2.3× as long as wide with strong reticulation, medio-basal Gt1 with a sharp edge shaped like an inverted U.

Female holotype: length of body 2.1mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum dark brown. Head with frons metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown, scrobes black; vertex metallic bluish-purple. Mesoscutum black with median part of midlobe and lateral parts of sidelobes metallic blue; mesoscutellum metallic bluish-green; propodeum metallic green. Legs with coxae black with metallic blue tinges; trochanters, femora, tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1 metallic greenish-blue, Gt2-5 metallic purple, Gt6 metallic blue, Gt7 black; gonoplac black.

Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle and with a sharp edge between posterior part of posterior ocelli.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; with an indistinct median groove in posterior half; with six adnotaular setae in two rows. Mesoscutellum with median part with weak reticulation and a ±complete weak median groove, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct and diverging towards posterior part; with four setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong and wide median carina that expands strongly in very posterior part; with strong reticulation; callus with three 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 broken.

Petiole very short, a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp edge shaped like an inverted U; tergites with strong reticulation.
