Diagnosis.

Female. Antennal scape dark brown to black, with bluish green reflections. All femora dark brown to black with metallic bluish green reflections in proximal 1/2 to 2/3 of its length, the remainder is white; all trochanters and tibiae white, only protibiae with a dark brown longitudinal stripe (Figs 5 , 6G-I ). Head strongly reticulate; frontal sulcus present and nearly complete; gena straight (Fig. 6A ). Antenna with F1 almost as long as pedicel, 1.7 × as long as broad, slightly longer than F2; the latter 1.5 × as long as broad; F3 quadrate or slightly transverse (Fig. 6B ). Fore wing hyaline, costal cell bare, speculum closed (Fig. 6D ). Scutellum only slightly longer than broad. Propodeum densely reticulated (Fig. 6C ). Petiole slightly wider than long. Gaster slightly shorter than mesosoma.

Male. Clearly differentiated from female as follows: scape swollen in median part, 2.7 × as long as wide (Fig. 7B ); F3 distinctly longer than wide; propodeum longer than in female.

Host.
