( Figs 292, 293 View Figs 292–295 , 746 View Figs 742–750 )

Diagnosis (female). Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 ( Fig. 746 View Figs 742–750 ); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 292 View Figs 292–295 ) with median part with very weak reticulation, shiny, outer margin of submedian grooves absent, grooves curved and diverging towards posterior part, lateral parts rugose; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 292 View Figs 292–295 ) with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation, callus with two setae; fore and hind coxae metallic, mid coxa dark brown ( Fig. 293 View Figs 292–295 ); petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part; gaster ( Fig. 292 View Figs 292–295 ) 2.2× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with short longitudinal carinae, tergites with weak reticulation, hence shiny; body bright golden-green ( Figs 292, 293 View Figs 292–295 ).

Female holotype: length of body 2.8mm (paratypes 2.8–3.0mm).

Scape dark brown with ventro-basal one-quarter yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum black. Head with frons golden-green with scrobes black with metallic tinges, clypeus dark brown; vertex metallic bluish-green. Mesosoma golden-green. Legs with fore and hind coxae metallic bluish-green, mid coxa dark brown; trochanters, femora, tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown, T4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 metallic bluish-green, Gt 2-5 medially metallic purple and laterally metallic bluish-green, Gt 6 metallic bluish-green, Gt 7 with basal half golden-green and apical half black; gonoplac black.

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

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation and isodiametric meshes on sidelobes, midlobe with strong reticulation in anterior part, with weak reticulation in posterior part, meshes elongate, strongly rugose on parts close to notauli, without a median groove; midlobe with 24 scattered setae on rugose parts. Mesoscutellum with outer margin of submedian grooves absent, grooves slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; median part with very weak reticulation; lateral parts strongly rugose with 18 scattered setae. Dorsellum with weak sculpture, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong and wide median carina, expanding posteriorly, this part with a fovea; with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with 5&6 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open (one seta missing at apex); costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole transverse with strong sculpture on dorsal part. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with short longitudinal carinae; tergites with weak reticulation.
