( Figs 324, 325 View Figs 324–327 , 760 View Figs 760–767 )

Diagnosis (female). Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2, spicule long ( Fig. 760 View Figs 760–767 ); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 324 View Figs 324–327 ) with submedian grooves distinct and parallel, median part with weak reticulation; dorsellum with a weak median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 324 View Figs 324–327 ) with strong irregular carinae, callus with three setae; petiole transverse with some strong sculpture on dorsal part, yellowish-brown; gaster ( Fig. 324 View Figs 324–327 ) 1.6× as long as wide, tergites with relatively strong reticulation; body predominantly weakly metallic purple ( Figs 324, 325 View Figs 324–327 ).

Female holotype: length of body 1.6mm.

Scape and pedicel yellowish-brown, flagellum brown. Head black with metallic blue and purple tinges, clypeus dark brown. Mesosoma black with metallic tinges. Legs with coxae dark brown, hind coxa with postero-basal half black; trochanters yellowish-brown; fore femur pale brown, mid and hind femora yellowish-brown; tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown. Petiole yellowish-brown. Gaster black with metallic tinges; gonoplac black.

Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation 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, in posterior half very elongate and this part appearing striate; midlobe with a very weak median groove in anterior half, and with ten scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, straight and parallel; with eight setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with strong sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong and very narrow carina that expands slightly anteriorly; with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with three setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with 3&4 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row broken.

Petiole transverse with some strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster ovate; tergites with rather strong reticulation.
