Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 1058); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 262 View Figs 260–263 ) with submedian grooves straight and ±parallel, median part with very weak reticulation; dorsellum without median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 262 View Figs 260–263 ) with strong carinae and strong reticulation, callus with two setae; fore and mid coxae pale brown, hind coxa dark brown to black ( Fig. 263 View Figs 260–263 ); petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part, with anterolateral corners as sharp points ( Fig. 262 View Figs 260–263 ); gaster ( Fig. 262 View Figs 260–263 ) ovate, 1.4× as long as wide, tergites with strong reticulation, gonoplac short with tip blunt. Small (1.6mm), predominantly dark brown to black species ( Figs 262, 263 View Figs 260–263 ).

Female holotype: length of body 1.6mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum dark brown. Head dark brown to black. Mesoscutum, mesoscutellum and propodeum dark brown to black. Legs with fore and mid coxae pale brown, hind coxa dark brown to black; trochanters pale brown; femora dark brown with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown with T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster dark brown.

Antenna with a 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. Occipital margin with a sharp carina behind ocellar triangle.

Mesoscutellum with very weak reticulation on median part and strong reticulation on lateral parts, meshes elongate; with an indistinct median groove in anterior two-thirds; submedian grooves distinct in posterior two-thirds, straight and ±parallel; with five setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, without median carina. Propodeum with a narrow median carina that expands in very posterior part; 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 five setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.
