Diagnosis (female). Antennal clava solid (Fig. 1008); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 92) with ±distinct submedian grooves and a complete median groove, median part with elongate meshes; propodeal callus with three setae; hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin; gaster (Fig. 92) 2.9× as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp transverse edge dorsally.

Female holotype: length of body 3.2mm (paratypes 2.9–3.1mm).

Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black. Thoracic dorsum golden-green. Legs with fore and hind coxae metallic bluish-green, mid coxa black with metallic tinges; trochanters pale brown; femora black with metallic bluish-green tinges and with apex yellowish-brown; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 golden-green, Gt 2-4 metallic purple, Gt 5-7 metallic bluish-green; gonoplac black.

Antenna with solid clava. Face below level of toruli with weak reticulation, clypeus smooth, frons with strong reticulation, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with median groove indicated but very weak, and with 12 scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation, meshes elongate, with a complete median groove; submedian grooves ±distinct, straight and diverging towards posterior part. Dorsellum with strong sculpture. Propodeum with triangular median carina with anterior part raised; callus with three setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation; hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin. Fore wing with four setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum open below and towards base of wing; costal setal row unbroken.

Petiole very short, just a narrow band. Gaster elongate; medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp transverse edge, and with weaker reticulation than other tergites and more shiny; remaining tergites with rather strong reticulation.
