( Fig. 24 )

Holotype ♀, Thailand, Lampang Province, Chae Son NP, youth camp/meeting hall, 18° 49.866' N, 99° 28.209' E, 476m, 7.iii.2008, B Kwannui & A Sutpeng (voucher BCLDQ01604, Genbank JN278339 ) ( QSBG).

Length of body 3.8 mm, of fore wing 3.7 mm and of antenna 4.7 mm.

Antenna with 38 flagellomeres. Termnal flagellomere cylindrical, strongly acuminate. Median flagellomeres 2.5 x longer than wide. Occiput aciculate with distinct transverse striation. Occipital carina broadly absent mediodorsally, ventrally joining hypostomal carina. Mesopleuron largely aciculate, anteriorly and dorsally rugose, precoxal sulcus rather strongly impressed, strongly rugose, specular area entirely aciculate. Propodeum with complete midlongitudinal carina. Fore wing vein 2-CU1 0.95 x 1-CU1. Apex of fore wing subbasal cell with narrow but distinct glabrous zone. Fore wing vein 3-SR 2.65 x vein r. Fore wing vein 2-SR+M 1.1 x vein r. Fore wing vein SR1 2.05 x vein 3-SR. Hind wing vein M+CU 2 x 1-M. Hind wing subbasal cell evenly setose. Hind wing vein m-cu absent though location indicated by small angulation near base of vein 2-M. Apex of hind tibia without comb of modified adpressed setae. Claws without conspicuous pecten.
