Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava 3.5× as long as wide, with a weak constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 1002); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 58 ) mainly with strong reticulation, but with weak reticulation and shiny close to posterior margin, meshes elongate, submedian grooves distinct in posterior one-third; dorsellum with median carina; hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin; gaster ( Fig. 58 ) 3.9× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 without transverse edge/carina dorsally, this part is smoothly rounded, Gt 1 with weak reticulation and shiny, remaining tergites with strong reticulation, posterior margin of Gt 3-4 straight.

Antenna dark brown with base of scape dark yellowish-brown. Head with frons metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown; vertex metallic bluish-purple. Mesoscutum and propodeum metallic bluish-green; mesoscutellum golden-green. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown, hind coxa black with metallic tinges; trochanters yellowish-white; fore and mid femora dark brown with apex yellowish-brown, hind femur black with metallic blue tinges and apex yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-white, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 metallic bluish-green, Gt 2-5 metallic purple, Gt 6-7 black with metallic tinges; gonoplac black.

Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, antennal scrobes and parts below toruli with weak reticulation; clypeal area smooth; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe without a median groove, with five scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum mainly with strong reticulation, but with weak reticulation and shiny close to posterior margin, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct in posterior one-third; median pair of setae situated just behind middle of mesoscutellum; without median groove. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, with median carina. Propodeum with median carina narrow in anterior half and expanding in posterior half; callus with three setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation; hind coxa with a strong carina along posterior margin. Fore wing with six setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.
