( Figs 246, 247 View Figs 244–247 , 733 View Figs 733–741 )

Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2 ( Fig. 733 View Figs 733–741 ); genal carina present and strong; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 246 View Figs 244–247 ) with strong reticulation with elongate meshes, submedian grooves ±distinct but with outer margin weak, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part, with a complete and strong median groove; dorsellum without median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 246 View Figs 244–247 ) with strong reticulation, callus with four setae; gaster ( Fig. 246 View Figs 244–247 ) 2.5× as long as wide with apex pointed, medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp transverse edge dorsally and with longitudinal carinae behind transverse edge in lateral parts, tergites with weak reticulation.

Female holotype: length of body 2.3mm (paratype 2.4mm).

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel brown, flagellum dark brown. Head with frons golden-green with scrobes black with metallic tinges and clypeus dark brown; vertex golden-green. Mesoscutum with sidelobes and parts of midlobe close to notauli golden-green, median part of midlobe black with metallic tinges. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown with metallic tinges, hind coxa golden-green; trochanters yellowish-brown; femora dark brown with apical part yellowish-white; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-white, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 golden-green with hind margin metallic purple, Gt 2-4 metallic purple, Gt 5-7 black; gonoplac black.

Antenna with a weak constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, scrobes with weak reticulation; with a strong genal carina that reaches almost to level of lower margin of eyes. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; occipital margin rounded.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with median groove indicated but indistinct in posterior half, with about 10 adnotaular setae (difficult to see as they are dark) ±in two rows. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation with elongate meshes; submedian grooves ±distinct but with outer margin weak, grooves slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; with a complete and strong median groove; with six setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, without median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands in posterior part; with strong reticulation; callus with four setae. Fore and mid coxae with weak reticulation, hind coxa with strong reticulation. Fore wing with 4&5 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.

Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp transverse edge dorsally and with longitudinal carinae behind transverse edge in lateral parts; tergites with weak reticulation.
