Body length. 7.0 mm. Fore wing length 4.5 mm.

Head (fig. 1): Face rugose, frons weakly striate and excavated, vertex and temple smooth; malar space 0.33 eye height; ocell­ocular distance twice diameter of lateral ocellus; 32­40 antennomeres; first flagellomere is larger than scape and pedicel combined.

Mesosoma (fig. 2): Pronotum smooth, pronotal groove rugose mesoscutal lobes smooth; notauli scrobiculate meeting large rugose area; scutellum weakly rugose; mesopleuron including subalar groove smooth, sternaulus smooth; propodeum smooth laterally, areolate rugose dorsally, median and lateral carinae distinct with no areola.

Metasoma (fig.3) First tergum areolate rugose, longer than apical width; second tergum with median semicircular area areolate rugose,1.3 wider at apex than long, lateral areas areolate; remaining four terga smooth on apical half, basal half areolate; ovipositor slightly greater than metasoma.

Fore wing (fig. 4) Vein 1cu­a slightly post furcal; m­cu arising before 2RS.

Hind wing (fig. 4) Vein r­m about 0.2 length of vein 1M.

Material Examined. Holotype ( DCBU); female, Brazil, SP, Peruíbe, Estação Ecológica Juréia­Itatins, 24°31´06´´S /47°1206´´W, sweeping vegetation, 5.V.2002; N. Wanderley Periotto col.

Comments. This species is distinguished by the absence of a propodeal areola, the presence of distinct metasomal sculpture, as in P. n i g e r, the length of the first two tergites and the colour of the body.
