♀; length of body in lateral view 2.9 mm (Fig. 4A ), length of antenna 4.7 mm, length of fore wing 3.1 mm.

Colour. Head (Fig. 4D ) entirely black; mandible yellowish brown. Antenna entirely brown (first and second segments orangish brown). First tergite dark brown.

Head. Width 1.9 times median length in dorsal view. Antenna (Fig. 4B ) 1.6 times longer than body, 28 segmented. Fourth segment 1.6 times longer than third segment, 1.1 times longer than fifth. Eye slightly oval, 1.2 times longer than wide in lateral view. Width of face (Fig. 4E ) 1.3 times its height from ventral rim of antennal sockets to upper margin of clypeus. Face with dense setae. Eye in dorsal view 2.6 times longer than temple. Ocello-ocular line 2.6 times longer than diameter of anterior ocellus; OOL:AOL:POL = 17:5:7. Stemmaticum concave. Mandible robust with three teeth (Fig. 4L ) and first tooth gradually connected to second tooth, forming a straight or arcuate connection. Labrum 1.8 times longer than wide. Maxillary palp 0.7 times longer than mesosoma.

Mesosoma. Mesosoma (Fig. 4G ) 2.3 times longer than wide in dorsal view, with medio-posterior depression and setae near it; notauli narrowly crenulate near middle of mesoscutum, not reaching medio-posterior depression; scutellar sulcus with two carinae, 2.4 times wider than long medially; metanotum sculptured; with small bump on hind coxa adjacent to metapleuron; metapleuron with long setae; in lateral view mesoscutum with anterior bump. Propodeum (Fig. 4H ) extensively rugose medially and in lateral view not bent; precoxal sulcus (Fig. 4F ) complete and with 12 crenulae; scutellum with setae partially. Fore wing (Fig. 4C ) 2.4 times longer than wide; pterostigma long and narrow, 4.3 times longer than wide; vein r of fore wing 2.3 times longer than wide; vein 2-SR slightly bent; vein r-m not sclerotized; vein 2-SR:vein r:vein 3-SR = 9:2:15; first subdiscal cell of fore wing ca 1.1 times longer than wide; second submarginal cell robust.

Leg. Hind coxa compressed, grooved and 1.1 times longer than hind trochanter; hind femur 0.7 times longer than hind tibia; hind tibia 0.9 times longer than hind tarsus.

Metasoma. First metasomal tergite subparallel-sided (Fig. 4H ), 2.0 times longer than apical width; T1:T2 = 50:24. Setose part of ovipositor sheath (Fig. 4I ) 0.5 times as long as mesosoma, 0.4 times as long as hind tibia and with long setae.

Male. Unknown.

Distribution.
