Diagnosis. Male only. Antennal scrobes as distinct and narrow grooves, join below frontal suture ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ); frons with an interscrobal prominence ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ); frontal suture distinct in median 2/3 of frons ( Fig. 12 View FIGURES 9 – 14 ); occipital margin rounded with posterior ocelli situated away from margin ( Fig. 28 View FIGURES 28 – 35. 28 – 34 ); midlobe of mesoscutum and scutellum with 2 pairs of setae ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 40 – 43 ); forewing with submarginal vein with 3 setae; propodeum with a complete median carina ( Fig. 42 View FIGURES 40 – 43 ).

Description. MALE. Length 1.5 mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel pale brown, flagellum dark brown. Frons black with green, blue and purple metallic tinges. Vertex black with blue and purple metallic tinges.

Coxae golden-purple; fore and mid femora with basal ½ dark brown and apical ½ yellowish-brown, hind femur yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; tarsi yellowish-white. Forewing with median 1/3 weakly infuscate. Gaster with 1st tergite metallic bluish-green with posterior 1/3 golden-purple, tergites 2–7 golden-purple.

Flagellum with 1 small discoid anellus, and all 5 flagellomeres distinctly separated ( Figs 77 View FIGURES 69 – 86 , 95 View FIGURES 87 – 97 ). Frons and vertex with strong, raised reticulation. Antennal scrobes as narrow grooves. Frontal suture present as narrow groove in median 2/3 of frons. Occipital margin rounded. Eyes with a few very short hairs.

Mesoscutum 0.5X as long as wide; with strong, raised reticulation; midlobe with 2 pairs of setae; notauli indistinct. Scutellum 1.1X as long as wide; with strong, raised reticulation; with 2 pairs of setae, situated close together. Propodeum predominantly reticulate, with anterior 1/3 of median part smooth; propodeal callus with 2 setae; with a complete narrow median carina and plicae. Forewing with 3 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; costal cell bare; speculum open below.
