Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2 ( Fig. 711 View Figs 710–716 ); with genal carina; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 164 View Figs 164–167 ) with elongate meshes; fore coxa with a sharp edge along posterior margin, hind coxa without carina along posterior margin; petiole transverse with very strong sculpture on dorsal surface; gaster ( Fig. 164 View Figs 164–167 ) 2.2× as long as wide, Gt 2 0.17× as long as Gt 4, medio-basal Gt 1 with a rectangular incision, with very weak reticulation, more shiny than remaining tergites.

Female holotype: length of body 2.1mm (paratypes 1.6–2.0mm).

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head black with metallic tinges. Thoracic dorsum black with metallic tinges. Legs with coxae black with metallic tinges; trochanters dark brown; femora black with metallic tinges; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 golden-green, Gt 2-6 black with metallic, mainly purple, tinges, Gt

7 black; gonoplac black.

Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth and scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation, meshes transverse.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, slightly elongate on midlobe; midlobe with four adnotaular setae in a single row, without median groove. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves weak, wide apart and diverging towards posterior part; without median groove. Dorsellum with strong reticulation. Propodeum with triangular median carina; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation; fore coxa with a sharp edge along posterior margin, hind coxa without carina along posterior margin. Fore wing with three setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal surface. Gaster ovate-elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a rectangular incision, with very weak reticulation and shiny, remaining tergites with strong reticulation.
