Etymology.
The specific name is derived from the entirely black mesosoma and metasoma.

Diagnosis.
Postocellar line as long as ocular-ocellar line. Area petiolaris of propodeum high (Fig.

Description.
Body length 6.0-7.0 mm. Fore wing length 6.0-6.5 mm.
Head
.
Inner orbits parallel. Face (Fig.
2
) approximately 1.9
x
as wide as long, slightly evenly convex, lateral portion shagreened, upper-median portion with distinct punctures; lower-median portion with indistinct punctures; upper margin with median small tubercle. Clypeus approximately 2.4
x
as wide as long, smooth, shiny, with sparse shallow indistinct punctures, apical median portion convex; median section of apical margin distinctly depressed. Basal portion of mandible with dense indistinct punctures; upper tooth sharper and slightly longer than lower tooth. Malar area and vertex (Fig.
4
) shagreened. Malar space approximately 0.5
x
as long as basal width of mandible. Postocellar line approximately same length as ocular-ocellar line. Gena (Fig.
3
) with fine punctures. Frons (Fig.
5
) slightly convex medially, with dense fine punctures. Antenna with 31 flagellomeres; ratio of length from first to fifth flagellomeres approximately: 6.5:4.0:3.5:3.5:3.0. Occipital carina reaching hypostomal carina slightly above base of mandible.
Mesosoma
.
Along anterior margin of pronotum (Fig.
6
) with dense fine punctures; lateral concavity with weak oblique transverse wrinkles; upper-posterior portion with dense fine punctures. Mesoscutum, scutellum and postscutellm with fine punctures. Notauli reaching beyond middle. Scutoscutellar groove almost shiny. Mesopleuron (Fig.
6
) slightly shagreened, upper-median portion with fine transverse wrinkles; speculum shiny, smooth. Upper end of epicnemial carina approximately reaching to 0.6 distance to subtegular ridge. Metapleuron evenly convex, with dense punctures; lower posterior portion with oblique wrinkles. Ratio of length of hind tarsomeres from first to fifth approximately: 10.0:5.0:3.5:2.0:2.5. Wings hyaline. Fore wing with vein 1cu-a slightly distal to M&RS. Postnervulus intercepted at lower 0.4. Hind wing vein 1-cu approximately 1.5
x
as long as cu-a. Propodeum (Fig.
7
) with complete strong median longitudinal and posterior transverse carinae; median longitudinal carinae almost parallel; between median longitudinal carinae and area petiolaris shiny, remain areae with dense distinct punctures; area petiolaris with strong median longitudinal carina and irregular oblique longitudinal wrinkles. Propodeal spiracle small, circular, located at basal 0.25.
Metasoma
.
First three tergites (Fig.
8
) with dense punctures. Subposterior portions of first and second tergites with weak transverse depressions. First tergite approximately 0.8
x
as long as posterior width, with irregular short wrinkles; dorsal median carina reaching to 0.6 length of first tergite; dorsolateral and ventrolateral carinae complete; postpetiole strongly convex; spiracle small, circular, convex, located approximately at anterior 0.4 of first tergite. Second and third tergites (Fig.
8
) approximately 0.5
x
as long as posterior width. Fourth and subsequent tergites with relatively sparse fine punctures. Ovipositor sheath (Fig.
9
) approximately 2.3
x
as long as its maximum width, from middle evenly narrowed posteriorly.
