diagnosis
Diagnosis (female). Antenna with distinct constriction between C 1 and C 2 (Fig. 770); genal carina present; mesoscutellum (Fig. 346) with median part with weak reticulation and a complete median groove, submedian grooves curved and diverging slightly towards posterior part; dorsellum with median carina; propodeum (Fig. 346) with strong irregular carinae and strong reticulation, callus with five setae; gaster (Fig. 346) 2.0 × as long as wide, medio-basal Gt 1 with a sharp edge shaped like an inverted U (as in Fig. 24), tergites with very strong reticulation. Female holotype: length of body 2.1 mm (paratype 2.3 mm). Scape yellowish-brown, pedicel dark brown, flagellum dark brown to black. Head black with metallic tinges. Mesoscutum metallic purple with bluish-green tinges; mesoscutellum and propodeum black with metallic bluish-green tinges. Legs with fore and mid coxae dark brown, hind coxa black; trochanters, femora, tibiae and tarsi yellowish-brown, T 4 pale brown. Petiole black. Gaster with Gt 1 metallic bluish-green with posterior margin metallic purple, Gt 2 - 5 metallic purple, Gt 6 - 7 black; gonoplac black. Antenna with distinct constriction between C 1 and C 2. Frons with strong reticulation, clypeus smooth, antennal scrobes with weak reticulation; with genal carina. Vertex with strong reticulation outside ocellar triangle, with wrinkled sculpture inside ocellar triangle; with a carina between posterior ocelli in posterior part. Occipital margin ± carinate. Mesoscutum with strong reticulation, meshes isodiametric on sidelobes, elongate on midlobe; midlobe with a median groove in posterior half, with seven scattered adnotaular setae. Mesoscutellum with weak reticulation on median part, lateral parts with strong reticulation, meshes elongate; submedian grooves distinct, slightly curved and diverging towards posterior part; with a strong and complete median groove; with six setae scattered over lateral parts. Dorsellum with weak sculpture and shiny, with median carina. Propodeum with a strong median carina that expands posteriorly; with strong reticulation; callus with five setae. Fore and hind coxae with strong reticulation, mid coxa with weak reticulation. Fore wing with 5 & 6 setae on dorsal surface of submarginal vein; speculum closed; costal setal row unbroken.
