Description.

Body length of female: 1.70-2.46 mm (n=20). Body length of male: 2.00-2.29 mm (n=20). Color of head: black throughout; orange throughout; variably brown to black. Color of antennal clava (A7-A12): dark brown to black. Shape of head: subglobose. Central keel of frons: absent. Setation of upper frons: with sparse, long setae. IOS/EH: IOS distinctly less than EH. Sculpture of ventrolateral frons: smooth to granulate. Sculpture of frons below median ocellus: granulate. Sculpture of posterior vertex: granulate to rugulose above hyperoccipital carina, smooth below. Hyperoccipital carina: present. Occipital carina medially: interrupted. Length of OOL: less than 0.5 × ocellar diameter. Sculpture of postgena behind outer orbit: with a carina along outer orbit. Ocular setae: absent. A4 in female: distinctly shorter than A3. A5 in female: shorter than A3, as long as wide. Shape of female A6: distinctly wider than long. Form of male antennal flagellomeres: filiform, A11 approximately 3.0 × longer than wide. Length of A5 tyloid in male: longer than 0.5 × length of A5.

Color of mesosoma in female: orange throughout. Color of mesosoma in male: orange throughout; variably orange to pale brown. Sculpture of dorsal pronotal area: rugose. Sculpture of lateral pronotal area: smooth throughout. Sculpture of netrion: smooth. Notaulus: percurrent or nearly so. Sculpture of mesoscutum: granulate. Shape of mesoscutellum: semiellipsoidal. Foveolae of scutoscutellar sulcus between notauli: smaller than those along margin of axilla. Sculpture of mesoscutellum: granulate. Shape of metascutellum: posterior margin rounded, 2.5 × wider than long. Sculpture of metascutellum in female: rugose. Sculpture of metascutellum in male: rugose. Dorsal propodeum in female: shallowly excavate medially, with lateral propodeal carinae widely separated. Sculpture of dorsal propodeum in female: rugose. Sculpture of dorsal propodeum in male: rugose. Median keels on propodeum in female: absent. Mesopleural carina: present. Sculpture of mesepisternum below mesopleural depression: smooth. Sculpture of ventral metapleural area: largely smooth, rugose ventrally. Color of legs: orange throughout; pale yellow throughout. Sculpture of hind coxa: smooth.

Color of fore wing: hyaline. Rs+M: spectral. Setae on R: long, erect, surpassing the margin of the wing. Length of R: distinctly shorter than r-rs. Length of R1: greater than 3.0 × length of r-rs.

Color of metasoma in female: orange throughout; yellow throughout; T1 horn and T6 pale brown, otherwise orange throughout. Color of metasoma in male: orange throughout; variably orange to pale brown. Horn on T1 in female: weakly developed. Sculpture of T1 horn dorsally: smooth to somewhat transversely striate. Sculpture of posterior margin of T1 in female: smooth medially, longitudinally striate laterally. Sculpture of T1 in male: longitudinally striate. Development of longitudinal striae on T2 in female: reaching the middle of T2 medially. Sculpture of T3: smooth. Shape of T6 in female: short, wider than long. Sculpture of S3: smooth.

Diagnosis.

This species is most similar to Calliscelio crater and Calliscelio sfina . It can be separated from Calliscelio crater by the presence of a carina along the outer orbit on the postgena rather than large foveae, and from Calliscelio sfina by the presence of the hyperoccipital carina.

Etymology.

The epithet is a compound noun in reference to the genal carina along the outer orbit. It is intended to be used as a noun in apposition.
