( Figs 244, 245 View Figs 244–247 , 1053)

Diagnosis (female). Antenna with a distinct constriction between C1 and C2 (Fig. 1053); mesoscutum ( Fig. 244 View Figs 244–247 ) with strong reticulation with elongate meshes and a median groove in posterior half; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 244 View Figs 244–247 ) with submedian grooves distinct only in posterior one-quarter to distinct throughout; dorsellum without median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 244 View Figs 244–247 ) with strong reticulation and irregular carinae, callus with five setae; gaster ( Fig. 244 View Figs 244–247 ) 2.2× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp transverse edge dorsally, tergites with strong small-meshed reticulation.

Female holotype: length of body 2.7mm (paratypes 2.4–2.7mm).

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel dark brown, flagellum dark brown to black. Head with frons metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown; vertex metallic blue. Mesoscutum and mesoscutellum metallic bluish-green, propodeum golden-green. Legs with fore and hind coxae metallic bluish-green, mid coxa dark brown; trochanters yellowish-brown; fore and mid femora yellowish-brown, hind femur with basal half dark brown and apical half yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-white, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster metallic bluish-green, Gt 2-5 metallic purple dorsally, Gt 7 black; gonoplac black.

Antenna with a distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Face below level of toruli with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons rugose, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex rugose outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part. Occipital margin ±carinate.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with a median groove in posterior half, and with 14 scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate, and with seven scattered setae; submedian grooves distinct, slightly curved and ±parallel; median groove indicated but weak. Dorsellum with strong wrinkled sculpture, without median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that is expanding in posterior part; with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with five setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with eight setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp transverse edge dorsally; tergites with strong reticulation.
