Diagnosis (female). Antenna ( Fig. 697 ) short and stout, gradually expanding towards apex, clava solid; genal carina present only close to mouth opening; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 68 ) with strong reticulation, meshes elongate, submedian grooves weak but traceable, wide apart, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; propodeum ( Fig. 68 ) with a median carina that splits in posterior part, like an inverted Y, not raised in anterior part; hind coxa without carina along posterior margin; petiole transverse with strong sculpture; gaster ( Fig. 68 ) 2.3× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with a short rectangular incision; Gt 2 0.3× as long as Gt 4, Gt 1 with weak reticulation, distinctly more shiny than remaining tergites.

Female holotype: length of body 1.7mm (paratypes 1.4–2.0mm).

Scape yellowish-brown with dorsal edge brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Face below level of toruli golden-green, frons metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesoscutum, mesocutellum and propodeum golden-green. Legs with fore and mid coxae black with metallic tinges, hind coxa golden-green; trochanters and femora dark brown to black, femora with metallic tinges; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster golden-green; gonoplac black.

Antenna with a solid clava. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with short genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe without a median groove, with seven adnotaular setae, ±in one row. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves weak but traceable, wide apart, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; anterior pair of setae placed medially. Dorsellum with strong reticulation. Propodeum with a median carina that splits in posterior part, like an inverted Y, anterior part not raised; callus with two setae.
