Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 1063); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 288 View Figs 288–291 ) with median part with very weak reticulation, without median groove, outer margin of submedian grooves absent, grooves with transverse and strong carinae, lateral parts with strong reticulation; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 288 View Figs 288–291 ) with strong irregular carinae, median carina ±triangular expanding backwards from very anterior part, callus with two setae; petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part; gaster ( Fig. 288 View Figs 288–291 ) 2.0× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with longitudinal carinae, Gt 1 with weak reticulation, Gt 2-7 with strong reticulation.

Female holotype: length of body 2.6mm (paratype 2.2mm).

Scape yellowish-brown with apico-dorsal part brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons golden-green, scrobes black, clypeus dark brown; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesoscutum and mesoscutellum golden-green with red tinges, propodeum golden-red. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown, hind coxa black with apical one-third yellowish-brown; trochanters, femora and tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 golden-green, Gt 2-5 metallic purple, Gt 6-7 black with golden-green tinges; gonoplac black.

Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of antennal toruli with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with weak reticulation and shiny outside ocellar triangle, with transverse carinae inside ocellar triangle.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe, midlobe rugose on parts close to notauli; midlobe with a very weak median groove in posterior half, with 12 scattered setae on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with median part with very weak reticulation, without median groove; outer margin of submedian grooves absent, grooves with transverse and strong carinae; lateral parts with strong reticulation and with six scattered setae. Dorsellum with rather weak reticulation, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands backwards from very anterior part; with strong irregular carinae; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with 6&7 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below; costal setal row unbroken.
