Description. ♀ ( Fig. 186A View FIGURE 186 ). Apterous; body length 2.7–3.2 mm. Colour of holotype: head brown, except mandible, clypeus and anterior half of frons testaceous; antenna brown, except antennomere 1 testaceous (antennomeres 9–10 missing in holotype); mesosoma brown-black; metasoma brown, except posterior third whitish; legs brown, except part of coxae, part of trochanters, part of meso- and metafemur testaceous. Colour of paratypes from Madagascar, 12°51.49’S 49°13.33’E and 12°54.32’S 49°6.35’E: totally testaceous-reddish, except petiole black and antennomeres 3–8 darkened; antennomeres 9–10 yellow-whitish. Antenna clavate; antennomeres of holotype in following proportions: 9:5:13:6.5:5:5:5:5 (antennomeres 9 and 10 missing in holotype); antennomeres of paratype from Madagascar, 12°51.49’S 49°13.33’E, in following proportions: 9:6:14:7:6:6:5:5:5:9. Head excavated, shiny, unsculptured; frontal line complete; occipital carina absent; temple distinct; ocellar triangle of holotype with POL = 1.5; OL = 2; OOL = 8; ocellar triangle of paratype from Madagascar, 12°51.49’S 49°13.33’E, with POL = 1; OL = 1; OOL = 7. Palpal formula 5/3. Pronotum shiny, unsculptured, crossed by strong transverse impression. Mesoscutum shiny, unsculptured, with two large lateral pointed apophyses ( Fig. 186A View FIGURE 186 ). Mesoscutum as long as broad (length calculated from anterior margin to imaginary line joining two lateral pointed apophyses of mesoscutum). Mesoscutellum shiny, smooth, flat. Metanotum about coplanar to mesoscutellum, flat, partly smooth and partly rugose; metanotum with two large lateral rounded protrusions ( Fig. 186A View FIGURE 186 ).
