Diagnosis. Distinguished from O. cerulea by the features given in the key.
Description. Female. Length 3.2–3.7 mm ( Fig. 27A View FIGURE 27 ). Color. Head and mesosoma iridescent green-blue-purple. Pedicle brown. Femora pale brown, tips yellow. Head ( Fig. 27B View FIGURE 27 ). HW:HH = 1.0–1.2; face rugose-reticulate; IOD:EH = 1.4–1.6; MS:EH = 0.6–0.8; malar depression weakly impressed between mouth and eye margin; supraclypeal area longer than broad, weakly sculptured; anteclypeus distinct, nearly straight. FL:HH = 0.9–1.0; F2L:F2W = 1.6–1.8, F2L:F3L = 1.1–1.2; funiculars subequal in length distally, equal in width; clava subconical ( Fig. 27D View FIGURE 27 ). Mesosoma ( Fig. 27C, F, G View FIGURE 27 ) ML:MH = 1.3–1.6. Axilla dorsally rounded, on roughly the same plane as the mesoscutellum; scutoscutellar sulcus meeting transscutal articulation medially; frenal line indicated by a strong dorsal carina; axillular sulcus indicated by a strong longitudinal carina. Upper mesepimeron areolate; lower mesepimeron rugose-reticulate. Metepisternum rugose-areolate. HCL:HCW = 1.6–2.0, weakly reticulate; HFL:HFW = 4.9–5.7. FWL:FWW = 2.7–2.9, FWL:ML = 2.1–2.4; basal area and speculum bare, costal cell and wing disc densely setose; submarginal vein with small setae; stigmal vein perpendicular to anterior wing margin. Metasoma. PTL:PTW = 2.2–2.4, PTL:HCL = 1.1–1.3, lateral margin with weak longitudinal carina. Apical setae of hypopygium with several long setae on either side of the midline. Ovipositor not visible.
Male. Length 2.6–3.2 mm. HW:HH = 1.1–1.2. Scape yellow; flagellum with 7 funiculars, FL:HH = 1.1–1.4; anellus disc-shaped; F2L:F2W = 1.2–1.7 ( Fig. 27E View FIGURE 27 ). Femora pale brown, darker medially; tibiae yellow. PTL:PTW = 5.5–6.5, PTL:HCL = 2.0–2.4.
