( Figs 368, 369 View Figs 368–371 , 781 View Figs 776–783 )

Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid, scape with ventro-basal part expanded ( Fig. 781 View Figs 776–783 ); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 368 View Figs 368–371 ) 0.9× as long as wide, with weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with stronger reticulation, meshes very elongate and mesoscutellum thus appearing striate, submedian grooves distinct, straight and diverging slightly towards posterior part; dorsellum without median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 368 View Figs 368–371 ) with a narrow median carina and strong reticulation, callus with two setae; gaster ( Fig. 368 View Figs 368–371 ) ovate, 1.5× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt1 with a transverse edge dorsally and with short longitudinal carinae laterally, tergites with strong reticulation.

Female holotype: length of body 1.2mm.

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum pale brown. Head black with metallic tinges, clypeus dark brown. Mesoscutum golden-purple, mesoscutellum golden-purple with posterior one-third golden-green, propodeum black with metallic tinges. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown, hind coxa black; trochanters yellowish-brown; femora pale brown with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole dark brown. Gaster black with metallic tinges; gonoplac black.

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

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe without a median groove, with five adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with stronger reticulation, meshes very elongate; submedian grooves distinct, straight and diverging slightly towards posterior part; with five setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with weak sculpture, without median carina. Propodeum with a narrow carina and strong reticulation; callus with two setae. Fore and mid coxae with weak reticulation, hind coxa with strong reticulation. Fore wing with two setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.

Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster ovate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a transverse edge dorsally and with short longitudinal carinae laterally; tergites with strong reticulation.
