Diagnosis.

FEMALE (N = 1). Exact body length not available (the only specimen available is missing metasoma), if metasoma is not uniquely long, then small-sized. Head and mesosoma dark blue to green-blue. Fore wing partly infumate. Body slender (mesonotum 1.45 × as long as wide). Head round (1.40 × as high as long). Eyes large (0.67 × as high as head) (Fig. 10i View Figure 10 ). Corona medium (4.40 × as long as wide), structure continuous (Fig. 7i View Figure 7 ). Pronotum oval and longer than wide, with broadest part at midlength (Fig. 13i View Figure 13 ). Mesoscutellum slender (0.82 × as long as wide), anterior margin hardly convex (part anterior to imaginary transverse line connecting posterior margins of axillae less than 1/3 of mesoscutellum length; 0.17), mesoscutellum lineate in anterior two thirds, with median lines converging, rimose in posterior third (Fig. 16i View Figure 16 ). Propodeum large (0.18 × as long as mesoscutum) (Fig. 16i View Figure 16 ). Profemur elongated (2.34 × as long as wide). Marginal vein long (1.13 × as long as postmarginal vein). Metasoma length not available. Ovipositor length not available (Fig. 4i View Figure 4 ).

Redescription.

FEMALE. Colour (Figs 4i View Figure 4 , 7i View Figure 7 , 10i View Figure 10 , 13i View Figure 13 , 16i View Figure 16 ). Scape brown, darkening apically, rest of antenna dark brown. Procoxa dark brown, profemur dark green, all other parts of legs brown with yellow joints, tarsi yellow, except for brown last segments. Metasoma colour unknown.

Head (Figs 7i View Figure 7 , 10i View Figure 10 ). Face completely reticulate. Head 1.37 × as wide as long. Head width 4.00 × eye distance. Malar space 0.32 × head height. Corona 0.65 × as long as eye height. POL 1.20 × OOL. Scape 2.63 × as long as pedicel. Clava length to funicle length not available. Flagellum length to head breadth not available.

Mesosoma (Figs 13i View Figure 13 , 16i View Figure 16 ). Pronotum 1.05 × as long as wide. Pronotum 0.52 × as long as mesonotum. Mesonotum 1.40 × as long as mesoscutum. Mesoscutum 1.04 × as long as wide. Mesoscutellum 0.40 × as long as mesoscutum. Profemur 1.30 × as long as protibia.

Wings (Fig. 4i View Figure 4 ). Fore wing 3.04 × as long as wide. Costal cell 0.35 × as long as fore wing. Marginal vein 0.20 × as long as fore wing. Marginal vein 2.72 × as long as stigmal vein. Postmarginal vein 2.40 × as long as stigmal vein.

Taxonomic remarks.

This species is a bit problematic, because only the single type specimen without metasoma is available. However, the rest of the body provides some good diagnostic characters that allow differentiation from all other species of Oodera .
