( Figs 256, 257 View Figs 256–259 , 736 View Figs 733–741 )

Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a constriction between C1 and C2 ( Fig. 736 View Figs 733–741 ); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 256 View Figs 256–259 ) with weak reticulation on median part and strong reticulation on lateral parts, meshes elongate, submedian grooves distinct, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part, with a strong and complete median groove; dorsellum without median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 256 View Figs 256–259 ) medially with strong longitudinal carinae, laterally with strong reticulation, callus with three setae; petiole very short, just a narrow band; gaster ( Fig. 256 View Figs 256–259 ) 2.8× as long as wide with apex pointed, medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal carinae, tergites with strong reticulation.

Female holotype: length of body 3.2mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons metallic bluish-green with scrobes black and clypeus dark brown; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesoscutum with sidelobes golden-green, midlobe black with golden-green tinges; mesoscutellum with median part metallic bluish-green, lateral parts golden-green; propodeum golden-green. Legs with fore and hind coxae metallic bluish-green, mid coxa dark brown; trochanters brown; femora with basal two-thirds dark brown, apical one-third yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-white, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 metallic bluish-green with posterior margin golden-purple, Gt 2-5 golden-purple, Gt 6 - 7 black with metallic tinges; gonoplac black.

Antenna with constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with strong reticulation, clypeal area smooth, frons rugose and with strong reticulation in upper part, scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part; with a sulcus from eye to lateral ocellus and from there to median ocellus.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe, parts close to notauli ±rugose; midlobe with a weak median groove in posterior one-third, with 15 adnotaular setae in two rows on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part and strong reticulation on lateral parts, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; with a strong and complete 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; median part with strong irregular carinae, lateral parts with strong reticulation; callus with three setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with five 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 four longitudinal carinae; tergites with strong reticulation.
