Diagnosis. Forewing speculum open ( Fig. 52 View FIGURES 47 – 53 ); forewing costal cell bare ( Fig. 52 View FIGURES 47 – 53 ); frontal suture reaching eyes at level equal with middle of anterior ocellus ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 10 – 13 ); propodeum smooth ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 10 – 13 ), callus with 5 setae.
Description. FEMALE. Length 2.3 mm. Scape yellowish-brown with dorsal and ventral edges dark brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Frons below frontal suture black with metallic blue and purple tinges, above frontal suture metallic bluish-purple. Vertex inside ocellar triangle metallic dark purple, outside ocellar triangle golden-green. Mesoscutum metallic dark purple. Scutellum with a triangular area in anterior 2/3 golden-green, otherwise metallic bluish-green. Propodeum metallic bluish-green. Coxae, femora and tibiae dark and metallic; tarsi with tarsomeres 1–3 white, 4 dark brown. Forewing hyaline. Gaster with tergites 1 and 2 metallic bluish-green, remaining tergites dark brown with golden-green tinges.
Antenna as in Fig. 58 View FIGURES 56 – 68 . Frons smooth below frontal suture close to scrobes and close to eyes ( Fig. 10 View FIGURES 10 – 13 ), but with raised, strong reticulation between the smooth areas and above frontal suture; frontal suture reaching eyes at level equal with middle of anterior ocellus. Vertex with raised, strong reticulation inside ocellar triangle, but smooth outside ocellar triangle ( Fig. 13 View FIGURES 10 – 13 ). Occipital margin rounded. Eyes with sparse, scattered hairs.
Pronotum without transverse carina close to posterior margin ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 10 – 13 ). Mesoscutum with raised, strong reticulation ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 10 – 13 ); notauli as narrow distinct grooves in anterior 1/3, not visible in posterior 2/3. Scutellum with raised, rather strong reticulation ( Fig. 11 View FIGURES 10 – 13 ) except posterior margin smooth; with 1 pair of setae. Propodeum smooth ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 10 – 13 ); callus with 5 setae. Forewing speculum open below; costal cell bare.
Petiole 0.2X as long as wide, smooth. Gaster elongate with apex acuminate; tergites smooth.
