Comparative diagnosis.

According to the East Palaearctic key of Belokobylskij (1998), mandible (Fig. 6 K View Figure 6 ) expanded towards the apical. Propodeum smooth, longitudinal carina present half of the propodeum. First metasomal tergite (Fig. 6 H View Figure 6 ) 1.5 × longer than its apical width (1.4–1.6 × in Belokobylskij 1998). The Korean species ovipositor sheath 0.9 × as long as hind tibia (1.1–1.2 × in Belokobylskij 1998), but according to Belokobylskij (1998), it rarely equals to hind tibia.

Description.

♀. Body 1.9 mm in lateral view, fore wing 2.1 mm, ovipositor sheath 0.9 mm, antenna 2.6 mm (apical parts missing).

Head: Width of head 1.8 × its median length in dorsal view (Fig. 6 D View Figure 6 ). Antenna with 17 antennomeres (apical parts missing), first flagellomere 5.1 × longer than wide (Fig. 6 K View Figure 6 ), second flagellomere 1.2 × longer than first and 6.1 × longer than wide. Medial antennal segments 4.6 × longer than wide. Eye slightly oval, in lateral view 1.1 × as long as wide. Minimum width of face (Fig. 6 E View Figure 6 ) 1.4 × its height; face setose, upper part of clypeus rugose. Eye in dorsal view 2.3 × as long as temple. Ocello-ocular line ( OOL) 4.6 × longer than diameter of anterior ocellus; OOL: antero-posterior ocellar line ( AOL): postero-ocellar line ( POL) = 22: 6: 7. Vertex smooth and glabrous, with distinct longitudinal groove. Width of clypeus 2.7 × its maximum length. Mandible (Fig. 6 L View Figure 6 ) 1.6 × longer than wide, wide with first tooth curved upward; second tooth narrow and long, 1.3 × longer than first tooth, tip of second tooth dark brown; third tooth as long as first tooth.

Mesosoma: In dorsal view mesosoma 2.0 × longer than wide and 1.3 × longer than high in lateral view. Mesoscutum (Fig. 6 F View Figure 6 ) with small and round medio-posterior depression and glabrous; notauli impressed anteriorly, not reaching medio-posterior depression; mesoscutum without setae; scutellar sulcus with one carina; apical part of mesopleuron with few setae, posterior mesopleuron groove sculptured. Precoxal sulcus distinct, but not reaching anterior and posterior edge of mesopleuron. Maximum length of propodeum (Fig. 6 F View Figure 6 ) 0.5 × its width; longitudinal carina present half of propodeum, posterior part of propodeum with areola, reach to half of propodeum. In lateral view, anterior part of metanotum curved medio-dorsally (Fig. 6 G View Figure 6 ). Fore wing (Fig. 6 C View Figure 6 ) 2.3 × as long as wide; pterostigma hardly widened medially and nearly as wide as vein 1 - R 1; vein r of fore wing 3.0 × longer than wide; vein SR 1 1.7 × longer than vein 3 - SR; vein 3 - SR 2.2 × longer than 2 - SR; second submarginal cell 3.3 × longer than its medium length; 3 - SR: r: SR 1 = 8: 1: 14; first discal cell of fore wing as long as wide medially. Hind wing: vein M + CU + 1 - M: vein 1 r-m = 4: 1.

Leg: Hind femur 4.6 × longer than wide and 0.7 × as long as hind tibia; hind tibia 15 × longer than wide; hind tibia as long as hind tarsus.

Metasoma: First tergite (Fig. 6 H View Figure 6 ) medially rugose 1.5 × longer than its apical width. Setose part of ovipositor sheath (Fig. 6 I View Figure 6 ) 0.9 × as long as mesosoma and 0.9 × as long as hind tibia.

Color: Body (Fig. 6 A View Figure 6 ) dark brown; head dark brown; first tergite reddish brown, metasoma brown; antenna brown, apical parts pale brown; legs pale yellowish brown.
