Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 83E ) with two rows of about 45 small lamellae (no lamellae much longer than others); apex with approximately 6 lamellae, among which one much longer than others; apex forming right angle with rest of protarsomere 5. Tibial spurs 1/1/2.

♂. Fully winged; body length 1.9–3.1 mm. Head black, except clypeus brown and mandible partly brown and testaceous; head occasionally brown; occasionally (in specimen from South Africa, 32°57’732’’S 18°05’985’’E) clypeus with anterior margin brown-testaceous; antenna brown; mesosoma black, occasionally brown; metasoma brown; legs brown, with articulations, stalks of femora and part of tibiae and tarsi testaceous.

Occasionally mesoscutum slightly rugose near posterior margin. Notauli incomplete, reaching approximately 0.6–0.7 × length of mesoscutum. Metapectal-propodeal disc reticulate rugose, without longitudinal or transverse keels. Forewing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein shorter than proximal part (2: 7 in holotype; 3.5: 8 in paratype; 10: 11 in specimen from South Africa, 32°57’732’’S 18°05’985’’E); pterostigma less than 4 × as long as broad; veins surrounding BC and SBcostal cells generally as pigmented as veins surrounding Ccostal cell, occasionally less pigmented.

Hosts. Cicadellidae ( Guglielmino et al. 2013) : in South Africa: Colistra parvulus (Linnavuori) .

Biology. The only parasitized host collected in Kogelberg Nature Reserve (Western Cape Province, South Africa) showed a dryinid thylacium in the dorsal side between head and pronotum. This dorsal position is usual in Deinodryinus species.

Distribution. South Africa.

Remarks. The above described ♀ specimen was not reared. It was associated tentatively with ♂♂ collected together in South Africa, 32°57’732’’S 18°05’985’’E. Only a single ♀ specimen is known.
