Description. ♀ ( Figs 217E, F ). Apterous; body length 4.6 mm. Head black, except mandible, clypeus, part of malar space and anterior margin of frons testaceous; antenna brown, except scape testaceous; mesosoma and metasoma black; legs brown, except trochanters, protibia and part of tarsi testaceous-reddish. Antenna clavate; antennomeres in following proportions: 10:6:22:12:10:10:9:8:7:12. Head excavated, dull, granulate, with frons and vertex rugose; occiput dull, granulate and sculptured by many irregular longitudinal striae; frontal line complete; occipital carina absent; POL = 2; OL = 3; OOL = 13. Palpal formula 6/3. Pronotum shiny, unsculptured, crossed by strong transverse impression. Mesoscutum about twice as long as broad, dull, rugose, with two lateral pointed apophyses situated at border of mesoscutellum ( Fig. 207D ). Mesoscutellum shiny, unsculptured, sloping anteriorly. Metanotum rugose, about coplanar to mesoscutellum ( Fig. 207E ). Metapectal-propodeal disc shiny, with track of median longitudinal furrow, partly smooth and partly rugose; propodeal declivity strongly transversely striate. Mesopleuron and metapleuron rugose. Meso-metapleural suture thin, distinct and complete. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 18:4:6:20:34. Enlarged claw ( Fig. 206A ) with one small subapical tooth and one row of eight lamellae in addition to one bristle. Protarsomere 5 ( Fig. 206A ) with two rows of approximately 22 lamellae; apex with at least 20 lamellae. Tibial spurs 1/0/1.
