FEMALE. Color: dark metallic blue green; eyes reddish brown; scape yellowish with dark area medially, pedicel brown dorsally, funicle and clava yellowish brown; wings hyaline, veins yellowish brown; legs yellowish with medial area (0.70 length) of femora dark; coxae dark metallic blue green, hind coxa yellowish ventrally; metasoma yellowish with a dark band dorsally.
Head: in frontal view subtriangular ( Fig. 1a View FIGURE 1. a – f ), head width/height =1.35–1.46; with striate sculpture and short setae on vertex, on frons adjacent to medial margin of compound eye, malar space, and clypeus; setae on compound eye shorter; malar suture present; malar space 0.72–0.85X as long as eye height; transverse sulcus present just ventral to anterior ocellus ( Fig. 1b View FIGURE 1. a – f ); antenna with scape, pedicel, two anelli, two funicle and three claval segments; antenna with pale, short setae and scape with longitudinal striae; scape length 5.00–6.25X its width; pedicel slightly shorter than, or equal in length to 1st funicular segment; funiculars and club moderately setose and with many longitudinal sensilla; 1st funicular segment slightly longer than 2nd; combined length of 1st and 2nd funicular segments similar to clava length. Clypeus bilobed ( Fig. 1a View FIGURE 1. a – f ).
Mesosoma: mesosoma 2.0X as long as high, and 1.00–1.24X as long as gaster ( Fig. 1c View FIGURE 1. a – f ); pronotum with reticulate sculpture and with some long setae along posterior margin; notauli incomplete; mesonotum sculptured ( Fig. 1d View FIGURE 1. a – f ) as pronotum with some sparse setae; scutellum without submedian grooves, with two pairs of setae; mesopleural suture almost straight ( Fig. 1e View FIGURE 1. a – f ); transepimeral sulcus present and distinct; upper mesepimeron smooth, lower mesepimeron slightly sculptured; supracoxal flange absent; dorsellum large, strongly sculptured, crenulate/multidentate; propodeum smooth, polished, with strong median carina and plicae ( Fig. 1f View FIGURE 1. a – f ); propodeal callus with 12 long and thin setae. Forewing: costal cell with a ventral line of 12 setae extending from base to apex; postmarginal vein 0.77–0.83X as long as stigmal vein; stigma slightly swollen; marginal fringe as long as width of costal cell at widest point; length: 1.36–1.92 mm.

Sexual dimorphism evident; male smaller than female, body length 1.11–1.66 mm; fore femur very swollen, only 2X as long as wide ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1. a – f g), tarsomeres of fore leg shorter than female; basal 3 tarsomeres wider than long or quadrate; arolia large; head higher than female, head width/height = 1.08–1.25; funicle with three and clava with two segments. Genitalia ( Fig. 1 View FIGURE 1. a – f h) with subgenital plate exposed; aedeagus elongate, bifid; digitus with 4 or 5 apical teeth and one basal tooth; with pyramidal-shaped, raised intervolsellar process.
