Description.

Female. Metatibia color (outer face): entirely or mostly (>0.7 metatibia length) dark brown to black, with yellow to white coloration usually restricted to anterior 0.2 or less. Fore wing veins color: veins C+Sc+R and R1 mostly brown; usually veins r, 2RS, 2M, (RS+M)b, 1CU, 2Cua, and 1 m–cu partially brown; interior area of other veins, and at least part of pterostigma, usually light brown or yellowish–white. Antenna length/body length: antenna shorter than body (head to apex of metasoma), not extending beyond anterior 0.7 metasoma length, rarely antenna about as long as body (head to apex of metasoma); if slightly shorter, at least extending beyond anterior 0.7 metasoma length. Body length (head to apex of metasoma): 2.0 mm or less or 2.3-2.4 mm. Fore wing length: 2.1-2.2 mm or 2.5-2.6 mm. Metafemur length/width: 2.6-2.7, 2.8-2.9 or 3.0-3.1.
