Antennal clava solid (Fig. 1023); genal carina present; mesoscutellum ( Fig. 140 ) with a mix of isodiametric and slightly elongate meshes in median part; fore and hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin; gaster ( Fig. 140 ) elongate and laterally compressed, 2.8× as long as wide, and 0.7× as wide as width of mesoscutum.

Female holotype: length of body 1.9mm (paratype 2.1mm).

Scape yellowish-brown with dorsal edge dark brown, pedicel and flagellum dark brown. Head with frons metallic bluish-green, clypeus dark brown, antennal scrobes black; vertex black with bluish-green tinges. Thoracic dorsum golden-green. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown, hind coxa golden-green; trochanters dark brown; femora dark brown to black with metallic tinges; tibiae yellowish-brown; T1–3 yellowish-brown, T4 brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 metallic bluish-green with posterior margin dark brown, Gt 2-5 metallic purple, Gt 6-7 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, inside triangle with weak reticulation.

Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, slightly elongate on midlobe; midlobe without median groove, with seven scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric to elongate; submedian grooves weak, running parallel and close to lateral margins of mesoscutellum. Dorsellum with strong sculpture. Propodeum with a strong median carina; callus with two setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation; fore and hind coxa with a carina along posterior margin. Fore wing with three 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 and laterally flattened; tergites with strong reticulation.
