Protarsomere 5 ( Figs 33D, E ) with two rows of approximately 27 bristles, occasion- ally with two rows of approximately 12–13 lamellae in addition to some bristles (occasionally bristles very broad and similar to lamellae); apex with about 4–6 lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/1/2

♂ ( Figs 34C, D ). Fully winged; body length 1.4–1.7 mm.

Mesoscutum , mesoscutellum and metanotum shiny, unsculptured. Notauli incomplete, reaching about 0.4 × length of mesoscutum. Metapectal-propodeal disc reticulate rugose, with strong transverse posterior keel (in specimen from Oman, 23°36’N 58°26’E, transverse posterior keel absent); propodeal declivity without longitudinal keels, completely reticulate rugose. Forewing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of 2r-rs& Rs vein much shorter than proximal part (1.5:4). Paramere ( Fig. 33F ) without distal inner process, with inner medial process surrounded by membranous band. Tibial spurs 1/1/2.
