Description. ♂. Fully winged; body length 1.6–2.4 mm. Head black, except mandible testaceous; antenna brown; mesosoma black; metasoma brown; legs brown, except articulations and protibia testaceous. In specimen from Madagascar, 12°20’S 49°15’E, antenna testaceous-brown; legs yellow-testaceous, except basal extremity of metacoxa brown. In specimen from Madagascar, 20°47.56’S 47°10.54’E, legs testaceous, except part of metacoxa and stalk of metafemur black. Antenna filiform; antennomeres in following proportions: 6.5:2.5:4:4.5:4.5:5:4.5:4:4.5:5.5. Head dull, punctate, unsculptured among punctures (occasionally vertex slightly rugose behind and on sides of lateral ocelli); frons with track of complete frontal line, without lateral keels near orbits directed towards antennal toruli; occipital carina complete; holotype with POL = 6; OL = 3; OOL = 3.5; OPL = 3; TL = 3; in specimen from Madagascar, 20°47.56’S 47°10.54’E, POL = 4; OL = 2; OOL = 6; OPL = 3; TL = 3; greatest breadth of lateral ocelli about as long as OPL. Mesoscutum shiny, smooth, finely punctate, unsculptured among punctures. Notauli incom- plete, reaching approximately 0.4–0.6 × length of mesoscutum. Mesoscutellum and metanotum shiny, unsculptured. Metapectal-propodeal disc with strong transverse posterior keel, reticulate rugose, dull; propodeal declivity with two irregular longitudinal keels, with median area almost completely shiny, smooth, not rugose and lateral areas rugose. Forewing hyaline, without dark transverse bands; distal part of 2r-rs&Rs vein much shorter than proximal part (2:7). Paramere ( Fig. 75C ) without distal inner process, with slender dorsal membranous process. Occasionally paramere with small rounded or slightly pointed distal inner process ( Figs 75D, E ).
