DESCRIPTION — MALE: Body length 1.7 mm. Head, mesosoma and metasoma castaneous. Head (Figure 63). Mandible with four apical teeth. Clypeus with median lobe ill-defined; median tooth angled; median carina absent. Frons weakly coriaceous. Mesosoma. Pronotal disc with anterior margin ecarinate, weakly coriaceous. Metapectal-propodeal complex with lateral and posterior areas ecarinate. Metasoma (Figure 159). Tergal process with shallow, longitudinally elliptical and sublateral pair of depression, 0.65 x as long as tergite II, diverging posterad, with very long and thick setae on lateral area; each depression with large tubercle on its inner area, conical in longitudinal section, high, entirely laterad, with broad pit on top, with long tuft of setae laterad. Hypopygium (Figure 250) with median stalk 1.0 x as long as hypopygial plate; lateral stalk triangular; posterior margin strongly concave. Genitalia (Figures 470-471). Basal margin of paramere with subangled projection. Aedeagal dorsal body with apex as high as parameral apex, wider medially, narrowing pro-
