( Figs 83F , 84B, C , 85A )

Diagnosis. Micropterous ♀ of Deinodryinus with mesoscutellum humped ( Fig. 84C ); propodeal declivity granulate, not rugose, not transversely striate ( Fig. 84B ).

Description. ♀ ( Figs 84B, C , 85A ). Micropterous; forewing very reduced, slightly longer than mesoscutellum (5:4), reaching transverse furrow behind mesoscutellum. Body length 2.8 mm. Head testaceous, except large brown spot in front of anterior ocellus and vertex and temple testaceous-darkened; mandible and clypeus testaceous; antenna with antennomeres 1–4 testaceous (rest of antenna missing); protorax brown, except disc and posterior surface of pronotum testaceous; mesoscutum brown; mesoscutellum testaceous; metanotum, metapectal-propodeal disc and propodeal declivity black, except mesopleuron brown; tegula testaceous; metasoma brown; legs testaceous, except metacoxa brown and clubs of femora slightly darkened. Antenna broken; antennomeres 1–4 in following proportions: 7:3:13:10. Head shiny, granulate; frontal line absent; occipital carina complete; vertex flat; POL = 2; OL = 2; OOL = 8; OPL = 4; TL = 7; greatest breadth of posterior ocellus slightly shorter than POL (1.5:2). Pronotum shiny, unsculptured, except lateral regions granulate; anterior collar of pronotum rugose; pronotum with anterior transverse furrow and humped and long disc; disc separated from posterior collar of pronotum by strong transverse impression; posterior collar narrower than disc; posterior margin of posterior collar curved, laterally reaching tegula. Mesoscutum concave, rugose, very reduced, approximately as long as posterior collar of pronotum. Mesoscutellum shiny, humped, unsculptured, slightly shorter and narrower than mesoscutum. Metanotum very short, reduced to transverse strip behind mesoscutellum. Metapectal-propodeal disc humped, separated from metanotum by transverse deep furrow sculptured by transverse keels; metapectal-propodeal disc shiny, unsculptured; disc and propodeal declivity dull, granulate. Meso-metapleural suture distinct, strong, complete. Mesopleuron and meta- pleuron granulate. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 8:1.5:5:10:16; no protarsomeres produced into hooks. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 83F ) with two peg-like setae situated further distally than proximal prominence. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 83F ) with two rows of about 28 lamellae; apex with approximately five lamellae (one of which very long). Tibial spurs 1/1/2.

♂. Unknown.
