Description. ♀. Fully winged; body length 2.5–3.2 mm. Head black, except mandible testaceous (with teeth brown); antenna testaceous, except antennomeres 7–10, or 8–10, or 9–10 darkened; propleuron reddish or brown, except dorsal surface testaceous; pronotum completely reddish; occasionally pronotum totally black, or brown, except anterior and lateral margins testaceous; pronotal tubercle testaceous; tegula testaceous; rest of mesosoma and metasoma black; legs brown, except tarsi, procoxa and protibia testaceous. Antenna clavate; antennomeres in following proportions: 15:5:6:5:5:5:5:5:4:5. Head shiny; frons sculptured by numerous transverse keels, with frontal line complete and two lateral keels near orbits; vertex with two oblique keels connecting lateral ocelli to occipital carina, unsculptured between and on sides of above keels; occipital carina complete; POL = 7; OL = 4; OOL = 6; OPL = 5; TL = 5. In specimen from Kenya, 2.99615°S 38.45988°E, head with frons completely reticulate rugose, not sculptured by transverse keels. Pronotum shiny, setose, unsculptured, with raised transverse carina between anterior and posterior surface; anterior surface approximately as long as OPL (6:5); posterior surface shorter than mesoscutum (5:15). Mesoscutum shiny, setose, unsculptured. Notauli incomplete, reaching approximately 0.3 × length of mesoscutum. Mesoscutellum and metanotum shiny, unsculptured. Metapectal-propodeal disc dull, with strong transverse posterior keel, reticulate rugose; propodeal declivity reticulate rugose, without longitudinal keels. Forewing with two dark transverse bands; distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein much shorter than proximal part. Protarsomere 1 approximately as long as 4; protarsomere 4 slightly shorter than basal part of 5; protarsomere 3 produced into hook. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 57F View FIGURE 57 ) very long, longer than protarsomere 5, with proximal prominence bearing one long bristle. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 57F View FIGURE 57 ) with basal part longer than apical part, with about 23 lamellae, with inner side almost straight, without separate group of distal lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/1/2.

♂. Fully GoogleMaps winged; body length 2.0– 2.9 mm. Head black, except mandible testaceous (with teeth brown); antenna brown, except scape and pedicel yellow (in five ♂♂ from South Africa, 29°39’23’’S 30°27’41’’E, antenna totally testaceous); mesosoma and metasoma black; tegula testaceous; legs brown, except tarsi and protibia testaceous. Head shiny, slightly granulate, usually with numerous irregular transverse keels; in some male specimens, head completely granulate and reticulate rugose; frontal line complete; frons with two lateral keels near orbits and directed towards antennal toruli; occipital carina complete; POL = 6; OL = 3; OOL = 5; OPL = 2; TL = 2. In specimen from Kenya, 2.05111°S 38.32613°E, frons mostly punctate, unsculptured among punctures; vertex granulate and partly rugose. Mesoscutum, mesoscutellum and metanotum shiny, unsculptured. Occasionally (in ♂ from South Africa, 29°39’23’’S 30°27’41’’E, mesoscutum weakly granulate). Notauli incomplete, reaching approximately 0.25–0.30 × length of mesoscutum. Mesopleuron with posterior surface partly smooth and shiny; anterior surface dull, with numerous irregular keels. Metapleuron dull, with numerous irregular keels. Metapectal-propodeal disc with strong transverse posterior keel, reticulate rugose; propodeal declivity without longitudinal keels, completely reticulate rugose, with areolae less wide than those of metapectal-propodeal disc. Forewing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein much shorter than proximal part (2:5). Paramere ( Fig. 60F View FIGURE 60 ) with distal inner pointed process (margin of process with short setae) and without proximal membranous process. Tibial spurs 1/1/2.
