( Figs 646, 647 , 904 , 925 , 1105)

Diagnosis (female). Antenna with solid clava (Fig. 1105); clypeus yellowish-brown; large frontal orifices ( Fig. 904 ) elongate reaching from just below and lateral of toruli down to clypeus, genal carina absent; frons and midlobe of mesoscutum with large pits around attachment point of setae ( Figs 646 , 904 ); mesoscutellum ( Fig. 925 ) with relatively strong reticulation on median part, lateral parts with strong sculpture, submedian grooves distinct, straight, parallel, relatively wide and subdivided by strong transverse carinae; dorsellum strongly concave with median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 646 ) with strong reticulation, callus with three setae; petiole yellowish-brown; hind coxa rugose with a strong carina along posterior margin; gaster ( Fig. 646 ) 3.6× as long as wide, Gt1-2 with very weak reticulation, remaining tergites with weak reticulation, gaster hence shiny. Shape of gaster similar to G. carinifer .

Female holotype: length of body 3.3mm (paratype 3.0mm).

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons metallic bluish-green, antennal scrobes black and clypeus yellowish-brown; vertex metallic purple. Mesosoma metallic bluish-green. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown, hind coxa metallic bluish-green; trochanters yellowish-brown; fore and mid femora yellowish-brown with some infuscation, hind femur dark brown with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi pale yellowish-brown. Petiole yellowish-brown. Gaster with Gt 1 metallic bluish-purple in anterior two-thirds, golden-purple in posterior one-third, remaining tergites golden-purple; gonoplac black.

Antenna with solid clava. Frons with weak reticulation and with pits, each pit with a seta, clypeus smooth and scrobal grooves with weak reticulation without foveae; without genal carina. Vertex with weak reticulation and with setal pits.

Pronotum and mesoscutum rugose, sidelobes of mesoscutum close to notauli with small-meshed strong reticulation, with 17 scattered adnotaular setae, each seta in a pit. Mesoscutellum with relatively strong reticulation on median part, lateral parts with strong sculpture; submedian grooves distinct, straight, parallel, relatively wide and subdivided by strong transverse carinae; with three setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum strongly concave with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with median carina narrow with sides parallel in anterior half and triangular in posterior half, with a large fovea on either side of median carina, with strong reticulation; callus with three setae. Fore and mid coxae with weak reticulation, hind coxa rugose with a strong carina along posterior margin. Fore wing with six setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole transverse. Gaster elongate; Gt 1-2 with very weak reticulation, remaining tergites with weak reticulation.
