Densely punctate and covered with setae; lateral height of head 0.83–1.0× the size of mesopleuron; mandibles short and stout, apex 0.71–1.0× as wide as base, upper tooth broader than the lower tooth; malar space 0.25–0.56× as long as basal width of mandible; inner margin of eyes slightly convergent near clypeus; supraclypeal area rectangular (Fig. 3A); width 1.11–1.18× its height lateral ocellus separated from eye by 0.23–0.35× its own diameter; interocellar distance 1.16–1.36× diameter of lateral ocelli; interocellar area with sparse small setae; antenna with 32–33 flagellomeres; width of first flagellomere 4.6–5.8× its height; height of second flagellomere 0.48–0.54× height of first flagellomere; last flagellomere cone shaped and rounded apex; occipital area slightly imbricate.

Mesosoma . Pronotum dorsolaterally imbricate, laterally and ventrolaterally polished with transverse wrinkles; epomia absent; mesoscutum finely punctate; scutellum and post scutellum densely covered with setae; mesopleuron dorsolaterally foveolate with strong transverse wrinkles and covered with sparse setae (Fig. 3B); speculum denudate with transverse wrinkles; epicnemial carina present reaching only basal part of mesopleuron; mesopleuron ventrolaterally foveolate without wrinkles and sparse setae; sternaulus absent; posterior transverse carina of mesosternum straight not produced near the coxal area; metapleuron punctate and with its posterior part densely covered with setae; juxtacoxal carina complete with perpendicular carinae vestigial; juxtacoxal area imbricate; pleural carina complete; spiracle elliptical with its width 0.36–0.62× the spiracle height; propodeum hairy and foveolate; strong transverse wrinkles between petiolar area and posterior part of areola; vestigial wrinkles between middle part of areola and basal area (Fig. 3B); lateral longitudinal carina of propodeum incomplete not reaching propodeum neck; median longitudinal carina of propodeum complete; propodeum neck 0.6–0.8× the size of hind coxa.

Legs. Fore coxa with a slim lateral carina; height of fore t1 0.69–0.74× height of fore t2–t5, height of mid t1 0.77–0.89× height of mid t2–t5; height of hind t1 0.79–0.88× height of hind t2–t5.

Wings. Hyaline and covered with small setae; fore wing: vein 1cu-a arising after of 1M+Rs; vein 2/Cu 0.81–1× the size of 2cu-a; vein 1/Rs+M curved; bulla of 1/Rs+M placed after its midlength near 2/M; 2/RS 0.69–0.9× as long as 2/M; bulla of 2m-cu placed near 2/M 0.2–0.4× the distance between the bulla and 4/Cu vein; hind wing: vein 1-Rs forming a curve with 1r-m angle; hind wing with 5 hamuli.

Metasoma. Tergites imbricate; first tergite with sparse setae, first sternite glabrous with subpetiolar process inconspicuous; tergite II 0.77–0.87× the length of tergite I; remaining tergites and sternites finely punctate covered with small setae; thyridium tear-shaped (Fig. 3E); ovipositor sheath covered with long setae; ovipositor straight (Fig. 3F), 1.0– 1.14 mm long; ovipositor notch distant from apex 0.19–0.23× length of ovipositor; ovipositor deep (Fig. 3G) notch angle 90º–105º; ovipositor ventral valve with a lobe near apex.

Male (Fig. 11B): Similar to female in structure and color, except: width of supraclypeal area 1.02–1.11× its height; lateral ocellus separated from eye by 0.28–0.41× its own diameter; interocellar distance 1.2–1.4× diameter of lateral ocelli; width of first flagellomere 4.3–5.2× its height; height of second flagellomere 0.57–0.59× height of first flagellomere; fore leg with t1 0.70–0.81×, mid leg with t1 0.64–0.78× and fore leg t1 0.79–0.88× length of remaining tarsomeres; metasomal tergites V–VIII entirely black; gonoforceps and cercus also black.

Biology: Attracted to light. Host unknow.

Comments: Very similar to Charops terezae sp. nov. from which it can be differentiated by the bicolored scape and pedicel, anteriorly yellow and posteriorly brown (vs scape dark brown with a thin pale-yellow line on its apex; pedicel dark brown) and width of supraclypeal area 1.11–1.18× its height (vs width of supraclypeal area 1.20–1.37× its height).

Etymology: This species is named in honor of the Brazilian hymenopterist Dr Angélica Maria Penteado Martins Dias.
