(Figs 11, 27, 41, 76, 94)

Diagnosis. Female flagellum with a 3-segmented clava (Figs 76, 94); antennal scrobes as narrow grooves (Fig. 11); frontal suture absent (Fig. 11); occipital margin rounded with posterior ocelli situated away from margin (Fig. 27); midlobe of mesoscutum with 1 pair of setae (Fig. 41); scutellum with 1 pair of setae (Fig. 41); with a narrow slit between scutellum and axillae (Fig. 41); forewing with submarginal vein with 1 seta.

Description. FEMALE. Length 1.2 mm.

Entire antenna dark brown. Frons, vertex, mesoscutum and scutellum metallic bluish-green. Coxae dark and metallic, femora and tibiae dark brown, tarsomeres 1–3 yellowish-white, tarsomere 4 dark brown. Wings hyaline. Gastral tergites dark brown, shiny.

Flagellum with 2 small discoid anelli, 2 funiculars and a 3-segmented clava (Fig. 76, 94). Frons and vertex with strong, raised reticulation; frons with 1 row of setae close to eye margin. Antennal scrobes as narrow grooves. Frontal suture absent. Occipital margin rounded. Eyes bare.

Mesoscutum and scutellum convex. Mesoscutum 0.5X as long as wide; with strong, raised reticulation; midlobe with 1 pair of setae; notauli indistinct. Scutellum 1.1X as long as wide; with strong, raised reticulation; with 1 pair of setae; with a narrow slit between scutellum and axillae. Propodeum with posterolateral part not drawn out into a point; propodeal callus with 7 setae; without a median carina; entire propodeal surface reticulate. Forewing with 1 seta on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; costal cell bare; with 1 row of admarginal setae (i.e. setae close to marginal vein) on ventral surface; speculum large and open below.

Petiole not visible, but presumably small. Gaster circular; gastral tergites smooth.

Ratios. HE/MS/WM = 5.2/1.0/2.6; POL/OOL/POO = 7.4/1.8/1.0; WH/WT = 1.2; LW/LM/HW = 1.8/1.0/ 1.4; PM/ST = 0.8; MM/LG = 1.4.
