Antenna with distinct constriction between C1 and C2 ( Fig. 751 View Figs 751–759 ), flagellum slender; genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 290 View Figs 288–291 ) with weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate, with a weak but complete median groove, submedian grooves distinct, straight and parallel; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum ( Fig. 290 View Figs 288–291 ) with strong reticulation, callus with four setae; coxae dark brown ( Fig. 291 View Figs 288–291 ); petiole very short, just a narrow band; gaster ( Fig. 290 View Figs 288–291 ) 2.4× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp transverse edge dorsally, tergites with strong reticulation. Small species (1.8mm), head and mesosoma black ( Figs 290, 291 View Figs 288–291 ).
