Description. ♀. Apterous; body length 2.6–3.1 mm. Completely yellow-testaceous, except petiole black. Antenna clavate; antennomeres in following proportions: 6:4:13:9.5:8:7:6.5:6:6:8. Head excavated, shiny, unsculptured, with occiput granulate; POL = 1; OL = 1; OOL = 6. In specimen from Uganda, Kawanda, frontal line complete; POL = 1; OL =1; OOL = 5; greatest breadth of lateral ocelli about as long as OL. Palpal formula of holotype 6/3; palpal formula of specimen from Kenya, Embakasi Forest, 5/2. Pronotum shiny, slightly granulate, crossed by strong transverse impression. Mesoscutum without lateral pointed apophyses ( Fig. 209H ). Metanotum transversely striate, about coplanar to mesoscutellum ( Fig. 209I ), with sides rounded. Mesopleuron and metapleuron slightly transversely striate. Metapectal-propodeal disc slender shiny, unsculptured, weakly sloping anteriorly ( Fig. 209I ); propodeal declivity slightly transversely striate. Meso-metapleural suture obsolete. Protarsomeres of holotype in following proportions: 13:2.5:3:14:18. Protarsomeres of specimen from Uganda, Kawanda, in following proportions: 10.5:1.5:3:10:15. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 215C ) with one small subapical tooth and one row of four bristles, or three peg-like setae + one bristle. Protarsomere 5 of holotype ( Fig. 215C ) with inner side proximally serrate, with two rows of 2 (proximal) + 14 lamellae (two rows of 1 (proximal) + 19 lamellae in specimen from South Africa, 32°24.561’S 25°05.946’E); in holotype, apex of protarsomere 5 with approximately 12 lamellae (eight lamellae in specimen from South Africa, 32°24.561’S 25°05.946’E). Protarsomere 5 of specimen from Uganda, Kawanda, with one row of 16 lamellae; apex with about seven lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.
