( Figs 278, 279 View Figs 276–279 , 1060)

Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid (Fig. 1060); genal carina present and reaching to level of lower margin of eye; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 278 View Figs 276–279 ) with strong reticulation throughout, submedian grooves distinct in posterior two-thirds, ±straight and parallel, with a very weak and ±complete median groove; dorsellum without median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 278 View Figs 276–279 ) with strong reticulation, callus with five setae; petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal surface; gaster ( Fig. 278 View Figs 276–279 ) 2.2× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal sharp edges laterally, tergites with strong reticulation.

Female holotype: length of body 2.0mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons golden-green, clypeus dark brown, scrobes black. Thoracic dorsum with mesoscutum, lateral parts of mesoscutellum and propodeum golden-green, median part of mesoscutellum metallic bluish-green. Legs with fore and hind coxae golden-green, mid coxa black with metallic tinges; trochanters dark brown; fore and mid femora dark brown with metallic tinges and apex yellowish-brown, hind femur golden-green with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 golden-green with posterior margin golden-purple, Gt 2-4 golden-purple, Gt 5-6 metallic bluish-green, Gt 7 black; gonoplac black.

Antenna with solid clava. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeal area smooth, frons rugose, scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe, midlobe rugose close to notauli; midlobe with a weak median groove in posterior half, with 13 scattered setae on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation on median part and with a very weak ±complete median groove, lateral parts with strong reticulation and seven setae scattered, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct in posterior two-thirds, ±straight and parallel. Dorsellum with strong reticulation, without median carina. Propodeum short with a strong median carina that expands towards anterior and posterior parts, with strong reticulation; callus with five setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.
