DESCRIPTION — MALE: Body length 2.0 mm. Head, mesosoma and metasoma dark castaneous. Head (Figure 39). Mandible with two apical teeth. Clypeus with median lobe ill-defined; median tooth subangulate, outlined by carina; median carina distinctly incomplete apically and straight in profile. Frons strongly coriaceous. Mesosoma. Pronotal disc with anterior margin ecarinate, strongly coriaceous. Metapectal-propodeal complex with lateral and posterior areas partly carinate. Metasoma (Figure 134). Tergal process without depressions, with setae small and thin; with small tubercle, evenly wide in longitudinal section, very low, entirely laterad, with small pit on top, with small tuft of setae anterad. Hypopygium (Figure 226) with median stalk evenly narrow, 1.0 x as long as hypopygial plate; lateral stalk triangular; posterior margin straight or nearly so. Genitalia (Figures 392-397). Aedeagal dorsal body with apex as high as parameral apex, wider medially, narrowing progressively apicad; apex with long and smooth projection on ventral region. Aedeagal ventral ramus with apex lower than aedeagal dorsal body apex, slightly bifurcated; apical region rounded, narrow and smooth. Digitus very long. Genital ring slightly produced, each half convex in dorsal view.

FEMALE: Unknown.
