Male (length of body= 1.1 mm)

Colour. Scape and pedicel dark brown, flagellum paler. Head and mesosoma dark with golden tinges. Coxae, femora and tibiae dark and ± metallic, tarsi infuscate with fourth segment darkest, median tarsus darker than fore and hind tarsi. Fore wing ± infuscate.

Mesoscutum convex, 0.6× as long as wide, with rather strong and engraved reticulation, anterior one-third with isodiametric meshes, posterior two-thirds with elongate meshes, with one pair of setae situated close to anterior margin. Scutellum convex, 0.8× as long as wide, with very weak and engraved reticulation, meshes isodiametric; scutellar setae situated closer to posterior margin, ratio distances to anterior margin of scutellum/posterior margin of scutellum=1.2.
