Diagnosis. Body length 2.7 mm, fore wing length 2.8 mm. Body mostly black, hind femur yellow. Posterior tangent to anterior ocellus transecting posterior ocelli, distance between fore and hind ocellus slightly shorter than diameter of hind ocellus. Antenna slightly shorter than body length, penultimate flagellomere as long as wide. Interspaces between punctures on disc of mesonotum distinctly smaller than its diameter. Areola on propodeum closed basally, V-shaped apically, with strong costulae. Pterostigma 2.3× as long as its widest part, vein 1-R1 1.3× longer than pterostigma, vein r 2.2× longer than vein 2-SR, angled at junction. T1 nearly parallel-sided at anterior 2/3, 3.0× longer than hind width, turned-over part dull, strongly rugose, longitudinal channel indistinct; T2 shiny with weak wrinkles, 3.1× wider than long in the middle; T3 1.7× longer than T2.
