Mesosoma ( Fig. 27 ). Pronotal disc and mesonotum polished; densely punctate. Pronotal collar long. Pronotal declivity high. Pronotal disc 0.34 × as long as wide. Notauli strongly conspicuous; complete; slightly convergent. Parapsidal furrow complete. Scutellar furrow long, slender, shallow, scrobiculate, posterior margin straight. Median region of scutellum not punctate. Median region of metanotum short, wide. Inner foveae of metanotal furrow not delimited. Propodeal disc 0.91 × as long as wide; 0.52 × as high as long; basal triangle conspicuous, rugulose, rest of disc coriaceous; median carina absent; paramedian carina inconspicuous, long; lateral carina present, inconspicuous; sublateral carina present, inconspicuous; transversal carina absent; declivity slightly strigulate; side of propodeum polished, or slightly coriaceous. Mesopleuron polished; callus present; fovea shallow; mesopleural pit absent. Metacarpus 0.22 × radial vein; discoidal vein slightly pigmented, not interstitial with median; first recurrent slightly pigmented; subdiscoidal vein slightly pigmented.

Metasoma. Hypopygium ( Fig. 47 ) 1.02 × as long as wide; posterior margin strongly trilobate; median lobe convex, wide; lateral lobe subangulate, short; lateral margin slightly convex; anterior pigmented line ill-defined, slender; median stalk short; lateral stalk present, spiniform, inconspicuous. Genitalia ( Figs 71–72 ): aedeagus basally wide and narrowing apicad; dorsal paramere as wide as ventral one, glabrous; basivolsella slightly excavated; inner margin of cuspis convex; genital ring short.

FEMALE unknown.

Remarks. Caloapenesia inyara sp. nov. resembles C. rikawa sp. nov. by presents head rounded; clypeus rounded; ocellus and eye small; flagellomeres short; aedeagus basally wide. But C. inyara sp. nov. presents head slightly shorter than in C. rikawa sp. nov.; antennae light castaneous; carina paramedian absent; hypopigial median lobe convex and shorter than in C. rikawa sp. nov.; lateral margin of hypopygium convex; lateral stalk spiniform.
