( Figs 236, 237 View Figs 236–239 , 1054)

Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid (Fig. 1054); genal carina short and weak, present close to mouth opening; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 236 View Figs 236–239 ) with weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with stronger reticulation, meshes elongate, with a weak median groove in anterior two-thirds, submedian grooves distinct, straight and diverging slightly towards posterior part, lateral parts with two pairs of setae, one pair close to posterior margin and one pair medially; dorsellum without median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 236 View Figs 236–239 ) with a short and narrow median carina that expands strongly in posterior part, with strong reticulation, callus with five setae; petiole very short, just a transverse band; gaster ( Fig. 236 View Figs 236–239 ) elongate, 2.0× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with a strong and sharp transverse carina dorsally, tergites with strong reticulation, Gt 1 with weak reticulation along posterior margin.

Female holotype: length of body 2.0mm (paratype 2.0mm).

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head black with metallic blue tinges, clypeus dark brown. Mesoscutum metallic bluish-green, mesoscutellum and propodeum golden-green. Legs with coxae black with metallic blue tinges; trochanters dark brown; femora black with metallic tinges with apex yellowish-brown; fore and mid tibiae pale brown, hind tibia dark brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1-4 black with metallic tinges, Gt 5-7 metallic bluish-green; gonoplac black.

Antenna with solid clava. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons with strong reticulation, scrobes with weak reticulation; with a weak genal carina close to mouth opening. Vertex with strong reticulation.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with median groove indicated but very weak, with seven adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with stronger reticulation, meshes elongate; with a weak median groove in anterior two-thirds; submedian grooves distinct, straight and diverging slightly towards posterior part. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, without median carina. Propodeum with a short and narrow median carina that expands strongly in posterior part, with strong reticulation; callus with five setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open at base; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole very short, just a transverse band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a strong and sharp transverse carina dorsally; tergites with strong reticulation, Gt 1 with weak reticulation along posterior margin.
