Diagnosis.

Scutum and MT1 yellow; hind leg, including tibia, melanic.

Description.

Body length 6.7 mm (6.5-7.1). Head. 43 (41-45) flagellomeres. Median ocellus diameter equal to the space between lateral ocelli. Vertex sparsely and weakly punctate. Mesosoma. Notauli partly smooth, otherwise with weak punctures. Metapleuron sparsely covered with setae. Fore wing cells very weakly infuscate with a yellowish tinge basally, veins yellow basally, melanic in apical half, stigma yellow in basal fourth (or entirely melanic). Hind tarsal claw bifid. Length/width of hind femur 2.0/0.5 = 3.9 (3.7-3.9). Lateral surface of hind femur punctate. Metasoma. Length/width ratio of MT1, 1.156/0.481 = 2.4 (2.4-2.5). Ratio of widest point of MT1 to narrowest point 0.481/0.349 = 1.4 (1.4). Color. Yellow except as follows: scape and pedicel pale brown, flagellum brown, hind leg mostly brown in females with areas near joints and most of tibia pale brown to yellow, anterior metasomal laterotergites and sterna cream-colored, median tergites entirely yellow in holotype (but some female paratypes have pale brown markings on apical tergites; males as in females but with hind leg mostly to entirely black, and apical terga and sterna extensively black).
