( Figs 147–151 View Figs 147–151 )
Diagnosis. Antenna flattened, dark brown with F5 pale brown, male F4&5 not flattened, scape widest at apex ( Fig. 149 View Figs 147–151 ); flagellomeres with long setae, longer in male ( Figs 147–151 View Figs 147–151 ); head strongly transverse in frontal view with frontofacial suture straight ( Fig. 150 View Figs 147–151 ); pronotal collar without a carina along anterior margin ( Fig. 147 View Figs 147–151 ); midlobe of mesoscutum with two pairs of relatively long and strong setae ( Fig. 147 View Figs 147–151 ); fore wing hyaline with a narrow infuscate band below stigmal vein reaching to hind margin ( Figs 148, 149 View Figs 147–151 ); length of body female 0.7mm, male 0.6–0.7mm. A small, dark brown, non-metallic and predominantly smooth species.
Female holotype: length of body 0.7mm.
Antenna dark brown with F5 pale brown. Head, meso- and metasoma dark brown non metallic. Legs ±infuscate with hind coxa and hind femur darker. Fore wing hyaline with a narrow infuscate band below stigmal vein, band reaching hind margin; hind wing hyaline.
Antenna flattened, flagellomeres with long setae. Frons and vertex with weak reticulation. Frontofacial suture straight. Subtorular sutures present. Occipital margin rounded.
Pronotal collar without a carina along anterior margin. Mesoscutum smooth with anterior and lateral parts with weak reticulation; notauli missing; midlobe with two pairs of setae. Mesoscutellum convex and smooth. Dorsellum convex and smooth. Propodeum smooth, without median carina; callus with two setae. Fore wing speculum closed; without a stigmal hairline and with radial cell hairy.
Petiole transverse and smooth. Gaster ovate; tergites smooth.
Relative measurements: head length dorsal 9.5; head length frontal 11; head width 21.5; POL 4; OOL 3; lateral ocellus maximum width 1.5; eye length 7.5; malar space 3.5; mouth width 5.5; mesosoma length 21; mesosoma width 15; mesoscutellum length 8; mesoscutellum width 9; fore wing length 37; fore wing width 19; marginal vein length 20; postmarginal vein length 1; stigmal vein length 3; fore wing marginal fringe length 8.5; gaster length 25; gaster width 14.
Male ( Figs 148, 149 View Figs 147–151 ). Length of body 0.6–0.7mm. Setae on flagellomeres longer than in female; F4&5 long and narrow, not flattened. Otherwise as in female.
