Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid (Fig. 1041); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 198 View Figs 196–199 ) with strong reticulation, median part with ±isodiametric meshes; fore coxa with a sharp edge along posterior margin and hind coxae with a carina along posterior margin; petiole very short, just a narrow band; gaster ( Fig. 198 View Figs 196–199 ) 2.3× as long as wide, Gt 1 with strong reticulation; gonoplac yellowish-brown ( Fig. 199 View Figs 196–199 ).

Female holotype: length of body 2.0mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel brown, flagellum dark brown. Head with frons golden-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black; vertex black with metallic blue tinges. Mesoscutum, mesoscutellum and propodeum golden-green. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown with metallic tinges, hind coxa metallic bluish-green; trochanters pale brown; femora dark brown with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole brown. Gaster with Gt 1 with anterior half metallic bluish-green and posterior half golden-purple, Gt 2-5 golden-purple, Gt 6 metallic bluish-green, Gt 7 black; gonoplac yellowish-brown.

Antenna with solid clava. Frons with strong reticulation, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation, clypeus 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 ten scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation, meshes on median part ±isodiametric, elongate on lateral parts, without a median groove, submedian grooves weak and visible only in posterior half, curved and running close to and parallel with lateral margins of mesoscutellum; anterior pair of setae situated in anterior one-third of mesoscutellum. Dorsellum with strong reticulation. Propodeum with median carina triangular with anterior part raised; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation mid coxa with weak reticulation; fore coxa with a sharp edge and hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below and towards base of wing; costal setal row unbroken.
