Diagnosis. Female flagellum with a 3-segmented clava ( Figs 71 View FIGURES 69 – 86 , 90 View FIGURES 87 – 97 ); malar space very narrow, 0.04X as wide as height of eye ( Fig. 90 View FIGURES 87 – 97 ); antennal scrobes as deep, wide grooves ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 3 – 8 ); frontal suture absent ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 3 – 8 ); occipital margin rounded with posterior ocelli situated away from margin ( Fig. 24 View FIGURES 21 – 27. 21 ); midlobe of mesoscutum with 12 scattered setae and notauli strong and deep in posterior 2/3 ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 36 – 39 ); scutellum with 12 scattered setae ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 36 – 39 ); with a narrow slit between scutellum and axillae ( Fig. 39 View FIGURES 36 – 39 ); forewing with 2 rows of admarginal setae and submarginal vein with 3 setae ( Fig. 61 View FIGURES 59 – 68 ).

Description. FEMALE. Length 1.4 mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Frons black with metallic green tinges. Vertex, mesoscutum and scutellum black with metallic purple tinges. Coxae, femora and tibiae dark and metallic, tarsomeres 1–3 yellowish-white, tarsomere 4 dark brown. Wings hyaline. Gastral tergites metallic bluishgreen, tergites 2–7 dark with metallic purple tinges.

Flagellum with 1 large anellus, 2 funiculars and a 3-segmented clava ( Figs 71 View FIGURES 69 – 86 , 90 View FIGURES 87 – 97 ). Frons and vertex with strong, raised reticulation. Antennal scrobes deep and distinctly delimited, shiny; with an interscrobal prominence; frontal suture absent. Occipital margin rounded. Eyes bare.

Mesoscutum and scutellum convex. Mesoscutum 0.5X as long as wide; with strong, raised reticulation; midlobe with 12 scattered setae; notauli strong, deep in posterior 2/3, in anterior 1/3 as a narrow ± distinct groove. Scutellum 1.1X as long as wide; with strong, raised reticulation; with 12 scattered setae; with a narrow slit between scutellum and axillae. Propodeum with posterolateral part drawn out into a point; spiracular sulcus absent; propodeal callus with 8 setae; with a narrow median carina; entire propodeal surface reticulate. Forewing with 3 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; base of costal cell with setae on ventral surface; with 2 rows of admarginal setae (i.e. setae close to marginal vein) on ventral surface; speculum large and open below.

Petiole not visible, but presumably small. Gaster circular; gastral tergites smooth and partly shrivelled. Ratios. HE/MS/WM = 26.0/1.0/12.5; POL/OOL/POO = 6.0/1.0/1.2; WH/WT = 1.0; LW/LM/HW = 2.0/ 1.0/1.4; PM/ST = 0.7; MM/LG = 1.3.
