Description.

Body length of female: 1.75-2.18 mm (n=20). Body length of male: 1.70-2.12 mm (n=20). Color of head: black throughout; dark brown; orange throughout. 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 with sparse punctures. Sculpture of frons below median ocellus: largely smooth with sparse fine punctures. Sculpture of posterior vertex: granulate. Hyperoccipital carina: absent. Occipital carina medially: complete, strongly crenulate throughout. Length of OOL: less than 0.5 × ocellar diameter. Sculpture of postgena behind outer orbit: granulate. Ocular setae: dense, long. 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 2.0 × longer than wide. Length of A5 tyloid in male: greater than 0.5 × length of A5.

Color of mesosoma in female: orange throughout; variably orange to pale brown. 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: rugose. Notaulus: percurrent or nearly so. Sculpture of mesoscutum: smooth with sparse punctures. Shape of mesoscutellum: semiellipsoidal. Foveolae of scutoscutellar sulcus between notauli: as large as those along margin of axilla. Sculpture of mesoscutellum: smooth with sparse fine punctures. Shape of metascutellum: posterior margin straight, approximately 2.0 × wider than long. Sculpture of metascutellum in female: rugose anteriorly, smooth posteriorly. 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: largely smooth with a row of foveae along mesopleural carina. Sculpture of ventral metapleural area: smooth dorsally, densely punctate ventrally. Color of legs: orange 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: approximately as long as r-rs. Length of R1: approximately as long as r-rs.

Color of metasoma in female: orange throughout; variably orange to pale brown. Color of metasoma in male: variably orange to pale brown. Horn on T1 in female: present as a small bulge. Sculpture of T1 horn dorsally: smooth. Sculpture of posterior margin of T1 in female: longitudinally striate throughout. 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, slightly longer than wide. Sculpture of S3: smooth.

Diagnosis.

This species is similar to Calliscelio punctatifrons in the shape of metascutellum and sculpture of T1 horn in the female but can be distinguished by its largely smooth upper frons, granulate posterior vertex and smaller body size.
