( Figs 200, 201 View Figs 200–203 , 1042)

Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid (Fig. 1042); mesoscutellum ( Fig. 200 View Figs 200–203 ) with weak reticulation, meshes elongate, with median groove and with median part 1.7× as long as wide; propodeum ( Fig. 200 View Figs 200–203 ) with median carina triangular and concave in posterior half, callus with eight setae; hind coxa with a strong carina in apical half of posterior margin; gaster ( Fig. 200 View Figs 200–203 ) 2.3× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with a strong transverse carina and with median carina in anterior half, tergites with very strong reticulation, Gt 1-4 with a narrow shiny median stripe; mesosoma black with metallic tinges ( Figs 200, 201 View Figs 200–203 ).

Female holotype: length of body 2.1mm.

Antenna dark brown. Head black with metallic blue tinges, antennal scrobes black, clypeus dark brown. Thoracic dorsum black with metallic blue tinges. Legs with coxae black with metallic tinges; trochanters dark brown; femora dark brown to black, hind femur with metallic tinges; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown, T4 dark brown. Petiole black. Gaster black with metallic tinges; gonoplac black.

Antenna with solid clava. Frons with weak reticulation except parts between scrobes and eyes with strong reticulation, clypeal area smooth; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation, meshes transverse.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe without median line, with nine setae in two rows close to notauli. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation on lateral parts, with very weak reticulation on median part, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, straight and diverging slightly towards posterior part. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with postero-median part drawn out in a sharp point. Propodeum with triangular median carina with posterior part concave; callus with eight setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation; hind coxa with a strong carina along posterior margin in apical half. Fore wing with 2–3 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a strong sharp transverse carina dorsally, and with a median carina in anterior half; Gt 2–4 with a narrow shiny median stripe; Gt 1-4 with very strong reticulation, Gt 5-7 with slightly weaker reticulation.
