( Figs 614, 615 View Figs 612–615 , 871 View Figs 864–871 )

Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 ( Fig. 871 View Figs 864–871 ); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 614 View Figs 612–615 ) with median part with weak reticulation and with a very weak median groove in anterior half, lateral parts with very strong reticulation with numerous white setae all over; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 614 View Figs 612–615 ) with strong reticulation and some irregular carinae, callus with three setae; gaster ( Fig. 614 View Figs 612–615 ) 3.5× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites with very strong and large-meshed reticulation, Gt7 1.7× as long as width at base.

Female holotype: length of body 3.5mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel brown, flagellum dark brown. Head golden-green, frons below eyes golden-red, clypeus dark brown. Thoracic dorsum golden-green. Legs with fore and hind coxae metallic bluish-green, mid coxa black with golden-green tinges; trochanters, femora and tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt1 metallic bluish-green, remaining tergites golden-green; gonoplac yellowish-brown.

Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose and with strong reticulation, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture and strong reticulation inside ocellar triangle. Occipital margin with a carina behind ocellar triangle.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe, midlobe ±rugose on part close to notauli; midlobe with a complete median groove, with 25 scattered setae on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with median part with weak reticulation and shiny, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves subdivided by carinae, curved and diverging towards both anterior and posterior parts; with 25 setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands in posterior part; with strong irregular carinae and reticulation; callus with three setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with 6&7 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with very strong and large-meshed reticulation.
