Diagnosis.

FEMALE (N = 1). Small-sized (5.75 mm). Head and mesosoma blackish, coppery and reddish. Fore wing partly infumate. Body robust (mesonotum 1.25 × as long as wide). Head oval (1.51 × as high as long). Eyes large (0.65 × as high as head) (Fig. 10a View Figure 10 ). Corona medium (5.50 × as long as wide), structure continuous (Fig. 7a View Figure 7 ). Pronotum shape not available (pronotum is partly covered by the legs) (Fig. 13a View Figure 13 ). Mesoscutellum normal (0.66 × as long as wide), anterior margin hardly convex (part anterior to imaginary transverse line connecting posterior margins of axillae less than 1/3 of mesoscutellum length; 0.29), mesoscutellum completely rippledly lineate (Fig. 16a View Figure 16 ). Propodeum medium (0.15 × as long as mesoscutum) (Fig. 16a View Figure 16 ). Profemur robust (1.90 × as long as wide). Marginal vein medium (1.0 × as long as postmarginal vein). Metasoma medium (0.47 × as long as body). Ovipositor short (0.14 × as long as metasoma) (Fig. 4a View Figure 4 ).

Taxonomic remarks.

The description of O. magnifica by Risbec (1951) is very detailed but misses some characters that we found to be of diagnostic value. Therefore, our redescription should be considered an addition to Risbec’s work and not a replacement.
