Diagnosis.

Female body length 4.3-5.2 mm, forewing 4.5-4.6 mm (Fig. 61 ); male body length 4.3-4.6 mm, forewing 4.1-4.3 mm (Fig. 62 ); black, with the following parts yellow: clypeus in male, scape ventrally in female, wholly scape in male, anterior half of pronotum, tegula, parategula, apical half of scutellum, apical margin of femora, tibiae (slightly dark apical margin) and most of tarsi, apical bands of both T1-T2 and S2 (broader of T1 laterally), apical margin of T3-T5 with short bands or spots (apical margin of T6 in male); A6-A13 ventrally deep yellow. Body with dense and coarse punctures, interspaces between punctures reticulate; clypeus wider than long (1.3 × in female, 1.0 × in male), apically with shallow emargination wider than depth (2.8 × in female, 2.6 × in male) (Figs 63 , 64 ); clypeus in female with sparse and coarse punctures, base of emargination without punctures and smooth (Fig. 63 ); clypeus in male with sparse and small punctures, dense white setae (Fig. 64 ); frons on lower half in male with dense white setae; occipital carina slightly curved latero-ventrally (Fig. 66 ); A13 sharp at the apex (Fig. 71 ). Pronotal carina transparent and obvious (Fig. 65 ); metapleuron and lateral surfaces of propodeum with unbroken coarse horizontal striae mixed with coarse punctures (Fig. 67 ); propodeum with developed and long carina between dorsal and posterior surfaces (Fig. 68 ), posterior surface with coarse and oblique striae mixed with coarse punctures, propodeal carina weakly present in lower part and less than half of propodeal concavity. Punctures of metasomal segments 3-7 sparser than those on metasomal segments 1-2; the second metasomal segment with wide apical lamellae and with a row of great punctures at base, interspaces between punctures long carina-formed extending almost to the top (not reaching apical margin) (Fig. 69 ); S2 weakly convex in lateral view, with shallow and short longitudinal medial furrows at base (Fig. 70 ).
