Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a constriction between C1 and C2 ( Fig. 789 View Figs 784–790 ); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 388 View Figs 388–391 ) with strong reticulation with elongate meshes; submedian grooves distinct, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part, with a strong and complete median groove; propodeum ( Fig. 388 View Figs 388–391 ) with strong reticulation and some irregular carinae, callus with two setae; gaster ( Fig. 388 View Figs 388–391 ) 2.6× as long as wide with apex pointed, medio-basal Gt1 with sharp edges laterally.
Female holotype: length of body 2.8mm (paratypes 1.9–3.5mm).
Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel brown, flagellum dark brown. Head with frons golden-green with scrobes black with metallic tinges and clypeus dark brown; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesosoma golden-green. Legs with coxae golden-green; trochanters yellowish-brown; fore and mid femora with basal half to two-thirds dark brown, hind femur black with golden-green tinges, apical part on all femora yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-white to yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster golden-green, Gt2-5 golden-purple dorsally, Gt
7 black; gonoplac black.
Antenna with a constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part.
Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with a median groove in posterior half, with 15 adnotaular setae in two rows. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation with elongate meshes; with a strong and complete median groove; submedian grooves distinct, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; with six setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, without median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that is expanded in posterior part; with some strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with five setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.
Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with sharp edges laterally; tergites with weak reticulation.
